So, Like, I got Fired ...

Wolf, did they go through the proper process? Were you "counselled" or warned? Is there company policy against whatever it is that you were supposed to have done? You might be shocked when you get fired, but you should never be surprised. If you were surprised, it's likely that this is a personal issue, which, IMHO, would be inappropriate dismissal.

I'm sorry about that. I'll keep my fingers crossed that a good job comes to you soon.

That's the beauty of "at will" employment. Even if it was personal? Not illegal. Unless wolf can prove it was, say, gender, or age, or religion-based, then it's legal to fire her for any reason.

However, if they have procedures on the books that they didn't follow (for example, giving a written warning for a first offense), it might make it much harder for them to defend, which increases the chance for a settlement.

This sucks big time, wolf. Good luck with the lawyer.
