Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

I filed a security complaint against a coworker who on several occasions threatened to go to her vehicle and retrieve her weapon. I informed my managers that I filed the complaint on July 31st during a conference call and the next day I received a call from the manager stating that the complaint I made was being taken seriously and she was advised to immediately remove me from the contract and deactivate my badge. She stated that she would be in touch in regards to the next steps. On August 12th, the manager emailed and said I was not allowed to return to Verizon and since there was nowhere to place me, I was being separated. I feel this is wrongful termination/retaliation. But I worked in VA that is an at-will employment state and I think they figured I would not have the resources to followup with legal advice.

So, were you working under the protection of a valid contract of employment

or collective bargaining agreement with Verizon or not? If the latter, I'd say

you're likely without a remedy for the situation described.
