Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

i was terminated due to my so called attitude. i was having some problems with a co-worker and i

addressed it with my manager and was told to ignore her and to inform the manager when it started

effecting my work. i informed my manager that it was starting to effect me and nothing happen. i

place a complaint and still no results. that co-worker had sent an email out stating i cant count

or read and i tried to talk to her about it and it didnt go over so well. they offered me a job and

then turned around and fired me. i had no other issues besides that one co-worker. can they let me

go like they did?
