No. Thank God, otherwise you might have a really hard time getting a job. See France, over there you cannot be fired so employers don't hire people unless they absolutely have to, thus the unemployment rate for young people is about 26% and overall the unemployment rate is 11%. Ours is 4.5%.

If you are in the USA living in an at-will state the law firm doesn't have to warn you about getting fired. In at-will states employers can fire you for any legal reason they see fit or no reason at all. They don't even have to warn you. Quite frankly, your attitude in this obvious rant makes you look highly unprofessional and rude. You also come across as a backstabber (look at the way you talk about those 2 ladies). Quite honestly, if I were an employer I would NOT hire you. No company needs people like you on staff, especially in front desk positions. In your little rant I thought it was unprofessional and rude of you to rant about the sister's problems and the weight issue of the file clerk who obviously replaced you. My guess is that you were gossiping about the sister behind her back. She found out about it and reported you to her sister...the partner who hates you. There are NO rules stating that an overweight employee CAN'T be the face of a company. I'm overweight and was the face of the HVAC contractor company where I worked for 4 years until I was laid off b/c of the housing crisis earlier this year. My roles: Administrative Assistant, Receptionist, Permit Clerk, IT Tech, and Software Developer. IMO, people like you disgust me. You have little or no tolerance for those who don't look or act "perfect". Do you have a good case? NO you do not. btw...you can't sue for harassment because having you train another employee is not harassment.

Nope! Most employers have what is called a "probationary" period. They observe your work for 30 days, some for 90 days, and if at the end of that period if they dont want you for whatever reason...they have the right to let you go. Look at the contract you signed before starting your job. Its probably in there

Normally the first 90 days is considered a probationary period and you can be fired for any or no reason. However, I would suggest that you find out what your state or country's labor laws are. Laws vary greatly from state to state and country to country. You can search online for labor laws or, go to Nolo.com and search for similar questions that may have been answered on their site.

You can sue anyone.
The question is, if you sue, are you likely to win?
That depends on the job, the conditions and the state.
If you really feel you were fired for inadequate or inappropriate reasons, consult a lawyer.
Find a lawyer that will give you a free consultation and one that will only be paid if you win.
Therefore, there's no money out of your pocket and it the lawyer takes the case, they you can bet he thinks he will win.

When you sign on with a company you usually sign an agreement that you can quit whenver you want and they can fire you whenever they want unless you are under contract. you dont need to tell them why you are quitting and they dont need to tell you why you are being fired. you could try to sue them though. best of luck to you.

The first 90 days are usually considered a trial period and companies can let you go for no reason.

No...you can't. Most places if you worked for 30 days, that is still considered a trial period and really they don't need a reason.

Nope
Let me rephrase this, you can sue anyone you like. You will lose though.
