Today the majority states that "In Gray, we held that `only the en banc court may undertake the extension that appellant urges on us.' Therefore, we must affirm the trial court because `a division of th[is] court is not free to expand the Adams exception....'" Majority op. at 159. In my view, both the lead opinion in Gray and today's decision cannot operate to bind all future panels of this court from deciding the merits of expanding the public policy exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine. Not only are these opinions out of line with our prior precedent in this area of law, but both courts are out of bounds with historical precedent and the development of the common law.
