A:
Unfortunately you do not have a wrongful termination claim. You are considered to be employed on an at will basis unless you have an agreement to the contrary about that status with your employer. The employer of an at will employee can terminate the employee for any reason or even no reason at all. The reason, if there is one, does not have to fair, and no advanced notice or warning must be provided. Terminating an employee for making a mistake is lawful.
Good luck to you.
