As a general rule, an employer can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit. The fact is that an "at will" employee can be fired for this reason, any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. Therefore, unless your termination violated an employment contract or union agreement, or your treatment constituted some form of legally actionable discrimination (which it doesn't appear to), your dismissal was legal.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
