Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

My supervised would send me and other employees to sell scrap metal for him at a local scrap yard. We would return with money and recite and hand it over to him. He has been fired for this practice and so have I and the other employee. Can we be fired for following our supervisors instructions?
