Thanks for the response.

I realize this may somewhat depend on the company. But is an employer obligated to tell you WHY you are being let go? I know an employer can let you go for ANY reason. But in my case, they painted it with a very broad brush saying I was overheard saying something. When I asked what I said, they didn't tell me. So essentially, I was not told what I was fired for. I look at that as not investigating the situation to find out from both sides. Did they not want me to defend myself and find out that the allegations weren't correct? That's what I believe. But I know that part doesn't matter as to my case. So again, I'm just wondering, is it typically common for a company to have to tell someone WHY they are being let go, as in being specific, when the employee asks? It will always bother me that when I asked what I said I was told, "we can't tell you." How I took that was, "we can't tell you why we're firing you!" I can't imagine that's right....

Thanks,
Aaron
