Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I know california is an at will state but I was recently hired and started training as a GM for a restaurant, the training takes place in another franchise owners restaurant. Same franchase different owners. I was recently fired after training only 1 month into training. Without cause from what I believe was untrue slanderous statements because I called into question several practices that different from the manual I was being trained from. This other company was having massive upheaval of their own and i believe me stating these questions got me fired with no cause.

Mr. Nelson is right. The only relevance of for cause versus not for cause/no cause is whether you qualify for unemployment.
