A: You did not ask a question here. Employment in FL is at will, and this means that they can fire you, basically for any reason, or no reason.

A: Florida is an employment at will state, meaning that you can be fired, barring an employment contract stating otherwise, for any nondiscriminatory reason. If you feel that the reason given was perpetual and that the real reason you were fired was for some form of discrimination, then you should consult with an employment/discrimination attorney.
