Jelisa, I'm sorry to hear that your employment was terminated. In CA, employment is at will, which means that a person may quit or be fired for no reason or any reason, so long as termination is not because of an illegal reason. Some examples of illegal reasons are discrimination because of intrinsic characteristics such as race, national origin, age, sexual orientation. Another illegal reason is termination after complaining to authorities about an illegal practice. Your question does not state any illegal reason. If you think there was one, then you should speak with an attorney. If not, it's best to find new work in these difficult economic times.
