Unless you have a written employment agreement, you have little or no employee rights in Florida. Why? Because Florida is an “at will employment” state--which means Florida employers are free to hire, assign, re-assign, re-locate, promote, demote, discipline, suspend or terminate employees...

Mental anguish, by itself, does not justify a lawsuit; you would not be able to establish damages, so you would loose.
