This question is about wrongful termination.
What can I do if I got fired unfairly?
If you got fired unfairly, you can turn to your company's human resources department for more information. Discuss why you feel your firing was unfair and try to understand their motivation for the decision. If you feel that your firing was discriminatory, make sure to collect any supporting evidence from your company computer before you leave.
However, if you were fired simply because your boss doesn't like you, even though you do better work than your peers, you don't have much recourse. While unfair firings certainly sting, they are not illegal and do not rise to the level of wrongful termination.
You can make an official complaint about your boss to the company's HR department, write a review of the company detailing your negative experience, and receive a free consultation with a lawyer to explore your options. But the best thing to do after an unfair firing is to start looking for a new job that'll treat you better.
