Re: work

They may be able to do it. Oklahoma is an at-will state, meaning you can be terminated for any reason or for no reason at all; however, termination for a wrong reason won't fly. Examples of wrong reasons include race, religion, national origin, gender, etc., as well as possibly a breach of contract if the employer has policies and procedures that constitute a contract. I suggest you get a copy of any policy and procedure handbook you can find, ask them to document why you're being terminated, and take detailed notes of all events and actions.
