[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP.  Thanks for the replies.  Is it normal for the supervisor to refuse to tell her why she was fired?  [/quote]

If you tell them why, then that opens it up for debate and lawsuits.

How long had she been there? In many states, even a "protected class" can be fired in the first X months for no reason at all.[/quote]

This post is completely backward.  First, if the employer refuses to tell an employee why s/he is being fired, THAT actually opens the company up to a lawsuit because the termination looks like pretext.

Your second statement also is wrong.  It isn't the case anywhere that someone in a "protected" class cannot be fired.  The reverse is true - an employer cannot fire, refuse to hire or take adverse action against someone BECAUSE OF their protected class.  This is true at all times, not just after a probationary period expires.

OP, this sounds like a very upsetting situation, but signing the contract and taking 2 months of pay was probably the best outcome here. [/quote]
