Sorry to hear that. Wisconsin is the same, unless you have a contract, a job can end for whatever reason the company wants.

i like how nobody knows anything about how she was fired other then the post, but people just "know" OP is just being whining, or just over exaggerating. There are shit people in this world that will just fire you cause the simply have the power to do it. I'm sure most people that have worked multiple jobs in their life, been fired, and blamed anybody else but themselves. So in short go **** yourself hippo-critical, judgemental *****. And good luck to you OP on your next job!

OP, here. To clarify, there honestly was no reason for my dismissal. I did not sign anything, I had absolutely NO disciplinary actions against me, I did very well for the company (my position actually made money), and there was no "glaring personality flaw" (though, for me to insist that, I recognize the irony in not acknowledging my shortcomings, but I also have taken a true, objective stand back and reflected on this, and I am at a total loss as to what happened). Towards the end, the CEO and I we're not exactly seeing eye-to-eye, but I was not insubordinate and the company owners loved me. When I asked for a reason, I was told there was no reason, and even the paperwork submitted to the unemployment office stated there was no reason. So, in short, There. Was. No. Reason. This has been very difficult for me to wrap my head around and it has been hard trying to pick up the pieces. I honestly reflect every single day on what I did and what I can learn from this and how I can improve and move on. I have not had any closure and I have done my best to accept this and move forward with confidence. Thanks for the support from most of you, but also thanks for the reality slap from the rest of you. It reminds me that world may be cruel, but that I will still strive to be the best that I can be despite how others try to tear me down. I hope no one else has to experience this. Take care, FML family.

I live in Utah, and it's the same here. Makes me grateful for my union.

It baffles me how terminatig someone like that is even legal...honestly it sounds abusive...I hope you manage to find a better job with a better company policy. Best of luck to you.

Nobody fires good workers. So it's safe to assume you weren't one.

It's like this in most european States (if your not a teacher or a government official), so quit your whining and deal with it. Look for a new job instead of reminiscing about what went wrong in your old one.

I've been there. It's sucks. It deff makes you feel helpless and meaningless but chin up it's gets better

And this is why at will is silly.

I got fired for going to a funeral. Even though I informed my division's manager and they gave permission.
