Re: terminated

Unless you have an express or implied contract or the termination was against public policy (such as for race, religion, gender, so on) they are free to terminate you. They can also be dishonest as to the reason, if they give you one. Severance is also not required unless you have a contract regarding severance.

You should contact an attorney to review your employment manual and other material and discuss additional facts to see if you have any options. Good luck.
