• holding that internal complaints about deceptive trade practices were an insufficient basis for public policy exception
• finding that the employee’s termination for her complaints that her superior breached warranties in violation of G.L.c. 93A, by selling “bargain basement pianos” as pianos of superior quality, did not fall within the public policy exception
• rejecting a claim of wrongful termination based on an employee's internal concerns that her employer was selling defective pianos in violation of Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A because her concerns ultimately involved the internal company policy of whether to honor its warranties
• no violation of public policy where piano company employee fired for threatening to reveal unfair and deceptive trade practices
• complaints regarding company’s trade practices, which employee claimed violated G. L. c. 93A, were internal matter
• discharge of at-will employee in retaliation for her internal complaints regarding company’s trade practices, which she claimed were in violation of G. L. c. 93A
