Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

A large company from which I was recently terminated, has forms and policies which they make each employee sign and state that they have read and understand. Because they have put forth policies in writing to their employees, are they not also bound to treat each employee the same based on those policies?

I was terminated without warning, without counsel, and quite frankly everyone was shocked and dismayed, especially me, because I had received so many emails and phone calls about what good work I was doing. However, I was hired by the branch manager who was also terminated that same day, without warning. He told me that the man who terminated us had inferred that we were having an inappropriate relationship, which is entirely false. However, my thought is this: I was not given any kind of warning or counsel. And, I am aware of many instances, and can name the former employees personally and there is a record of, each employee being treated differently upon dismissal, outside the bounds of what the company portrays as their SOP. If many employees are not treated the same by the company, despite the company putting forth documents that state how employees will be treated, isn't this unlawful? I am completely honest when I say that I would like to find a way to open this company up to a lawsuit because of how they treat each employee differently, based upon the whims of the politics that take place.
