I was working as a security supervisor ,well sunday night my branch manager called me to be in the branch office on monday at 9:00am. He and the district manager was in the office they shut the door and said we are going to have to let you go. I ask why. Both said we do not have to tell you just leave it at that. I said as many hours as I work and practically live at my job I believe I should know since you are firing meI kept on until one said we had complaints by 7 guards and one from the client you have really worked hard but We appreciate it. and that was that I tryed to speak but both told me to hush and leave.I did not one time recieve a disciplinary write up. Also I did not recieve a suspension of discharge. I filed for my unemployment 2 days later. Do any of you know if I will be turned down since I have not recieved any write ups or suspension of discharge.And later that day 2 of my guards called me in disbelief and said there was a memo on the bulletin board stating if anyone see's ___ on the property call the cops and have her removed. isn't this slander?

Your company can contest the unemployment but they will have the burden of proof that you did something so reprehensible that you should not receive benefits. This will be a hard standard for them to meet if you've never received any disciplinary action. So while it's possible, it's unlikely that your benefits will be denied.

They are correct that under the law they are not required to give you a reason. Sometimes this is wise; sometimes it isn't. Since I obviously don't know what the reason is, I can't tell you if this is one of the wise or unwise situations, but it is legal for them to refuse to tell you.

No, it is not slander or defamation to have a notice up that you are not allowed on the property.

:confused: I was terminated from Two Guards (under me )statements which by the way was made up lie's. My company should know when you are a supervisor people under you are going to make up lie's on you. I believe these statements should have been investigated, I was never questioned by my company if statements were true. Can I in anyway use retaliation - retention - defamation?

No. Nothing in your post gives you a case for defamation, which has a much stricter definition than most people think. Nor have you mentioned anything that would give you a case for retaliation; what did you do that your employers would retaliate against you?
