Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
I was terminated from my job today. The reason given was a customer complained about my lack of excitement. I have never been written up, missed a day of work until last week. I was given a verbal warning as well as my manager belittling me because i didnt have money. In the past week, employees have been questioned about my second job(exotic dancer) and all of a sudden my attitude is a problem. The manager has also stated that he bets i will quit because i make more money at my other job. Ten minutes after he fired me, i recieve a text from his phone saying how he had just fired me, because my attitude sucked and its best for the image of the company. Am i too angry or is this basis for a wrongful termination claim?

Employment is generally at will, and an employee can be terminated for any or no reason (with very few exceptions for unlawful discrimination). From your post, they had a reason. It does not matter than you might not agree with it.
Unfortunately, you can be fired for any reason, even a narrow-minded one. An exotic dancer is not a protected class.
