If that's what he said and that's *all* that he said - i.e. it wasn't in the context of having potentially genuine questions about your performance at work, and you hadn't started it by saying something unpleasant yourself - then almost certainly you do have a case, although you may have a bit of a problem proving it if there were no witnesses.
Whether it would be wrongful dismissal or constructive dismissal and whether you could claim for hurt feelings, stress, etc., depends on the law where you live. But you can almost certainly have a consultation with a legal advisor - or your union - without it costing you anything.

If you work in a "work at will" state then no. I once had a boss that hated anyone that was 25 and up and not married. He said they are selfish and the reason for the decline in American values. He fired these people all the time but since GA is a work at will state you can't do anything.

It depends on what your state law is regarding dismissal. In Washington, it is a "fire-at will" stat, which means an employer can fire you for any reason without notice, including just because he doesn't like you.

If you work in a 'right to work' state, which means 'right to fire' then you cannot sue your employer for dismissal unless it is discriminative. If you are overweight, a minority, gay, etc... you may have grounds for a suit and I would recommend you consult an attorney.

You can still get unemployment from a employer that fires you and he has to pay it. If that was in your dismissal notice take it to them and they will get you your money.
People like that should be set in a hall of mirrors and get to look at himself all day! geesh!

Probably not if you work in a state that is an "at will" employer state. But, you can get even.....do you know where he parks his car?

You may sue whomever you wish.
Go to the courthouse and file your suit.
Be prepared to financially compensate those that you have inconvenienced should things not go your way.

Why would you want to. If he hates you he can come up with other stuff too...believe me. So why put yourself though it. Move on...get another job
