Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML

Don't workers need to be informed about what they're being fired for?

While that is true, a reason actually was given (rumors) which actually opens up the possibility of a wrongful termination suit. At will employment means they can terminate you without reason which is what protects them from these lawsuits to begin with.

<p>My old boss did that to many employees. She would write you up for something but not tell you the situation, who or why. You have no chance to defend yourself or use it for constructive critisism.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Dont take it to heart.</p>

For everyone who is saying to sue for not giving a reason of termination, a lot of states don't require business to give a reason. They can terminate without warning or reason.

<p>Actually he DID give you a reason-He 'Heard some things about you'. I'd do a couple of things, depending on how much you liked your job, your boss, your situation, etc. If the company is big enough contact HR ASAP. 'because of something I heard' is a simply insane reason for *anyone* to loose a job. No HR? Lawyer Up, or if money is an issue, talk with someone over at the legal aid society at least. Yes while many states ARE 'at will' firing someone because they heard a rumor? that's just craz
