Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Unlawful termination

Even though California is an at will to fire/hire state, can you be fired for reasons that are untrue. I was never written up or given a verbal or spoken to in any way that I would feel my job was in jeopardy. I was fired for insubordination, and work performance.
