Today, I was fired. Last week, I was written up because I came in one minute late from lunch break. The week before, I was yelled at for yawning. I found out it was all a plan for my boss’s favorite employee to get promoted to my position, so they wanted a reason to terminate me. I work in an “at will” state. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, I got fired for “insubordination.” All I did was ask how my compensation would be adjusted due to my coworker quitting and having to do her job until her position is filled. I live in Florida, which is an “at will” employment state. FML
Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, I got fired. Yesterday was my birthday and I was told I was getting a promotion. FML

Unemployment may still be an option; the right people may end up deciding that their reasons for voting you were bullshit and pay anyway. And while you’re at it, go get a better job and stick it in their faces. Spite is a hell of a motivator.

They could make stuff up to try to say firing the OP was for cause. I have known plenty of people who did that. As petty and unethical that is it’s not entirely illegal unless the OP can prove otherwise. I only know because after tearing tendons and ligaments and falling off a ladder after saying I was injured I had a boss who said I said a racist name. Petty and jealousies are the in thing today apparently.

I've honestly never understood the reason at-will is still even a thing in the States. It just baffles me that this is allowed at all.

Really? Some of our states are fascist. States have a lot of self-determination, but are supposed to be bounded by the federal government. Some states are oppressive and it's not feasible for the national government to intervene. We've had one Civil War over this already, and there's no reason to think another isn't going to happen.
