Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning.

So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

That feels a little disingenuous and...bad etiquette maybe? What do you think?
