Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I was fired from McDonald's recently, and it turns out my manager is telling all the employees why I was fired and sharing my personal business in order to "make an example out of me". Can I bring legal action against them for this?

The reasons for your termination are not just your personal business, it is also your employer's business. It is highly unlikely you have a claim, but if there is a slim chance you do (for example, false and defamatory accusations of stealing from the register), you did not tell us what was actually said. You don't have a claim merely because someone is telling the truth about you.
