I was told upon termination that one of the reasons was a private telephone conversation had been recorded and the contents of that phone conversation were stated, I had previously been advised that the company does not listen in to personal phone calls by another one of my supervisors , and was actually given permission at that time(approach 4 or 5 months earlier)that it was "OK" to make a personal phone call from my desk (call center environment) I was given that permission when I asked to take my break early to make a call from a pay phone, I was told quote, Go ahead and make the call from your desk , if your worried about it being recorded the company does not do that with personal calls. I realize that Florida is an "at will " state and my dispute is not with the company's right to terminate, I am just concerned about the admission of listening to a private conversation and relaying to me the contents of that call is a federal violation to the privacy law, (did my internet research) and that approx one month previously I had just received a merit evaluation and a 1.83% pay increase, could it be that the contents of the call that they admitted listening to , and who knows how many other calls were also heard, could have contributed to the decision? How does someone go from a raise , to fired in a little over a month?

just wanted to vent and see if anyone thinks that I should pursue this, or just get on with my life and find another job, I am especially angry because I was with the company for five years, and due to that fact I am going to have to include this job in my resume, and try to explain this to my next employer (if I find, one)
