Today, I lost my job. This was a surprise, as my performance hasn’t ever been an issue. My boss couldn’t look me in the eye while it happened, and the HR representative cut me off when I tried to ask why, informing me that they would only answer benefit-related questions. FML

Chances are they are firing you for something that would be against the law to fire you for.
If they say they are firing you and just not telling you a reason they can get away with it.If they tell you the reason,and its illegal, you could cause them a boatload of legal trouble.So they are probably not going to budge on that. If you have any friends from work, get them to tell you what the boss said, if it was an illegal reason to fire you take the previous employer to court and attempt to sue them into the ground.

Sorry to hear OP. Most states are right to work so they can fire for almost anything. Juding by your bosses reaction it doesn't sound like anything he control over and was sad to see you go.

And all the friends you thought you had at work will not go to court and say on the record what they heard you were fired for. Because they still have a job and want to keep it.

Right to work is no longer valid as a "do what i want as a dictator, get out of being a fucktard to my good hardworking employee" card. Nowadays you can sue. If they won't tell you the reason, it's most likely discrimination which can be sued over. Absolutely take them to court or at least threaten to see if they relinquish an answer.

They will have to say why when the unemployment forms come in. If there isn’t an answer to why were you let go, they inquire. That’s how I found out I was fired over health issues they knew I had when I was hired. And no, I had no case. It was a small company and they could claim our arrangement was causing hardship on the company.

If you are the U.S. then good luck to you as their employment laws seem very backwards.
