How sure you were wrongfully terminated?
I'm sure from your perspective it was unfair. However, having been on the other side, I know the amount of data, analysis, feedback, and discussions with lawyers that is involved with terminating someone for cause.
I'm not saying what your employer did was right but if it's a large company, they would not have done this without a very strong case and approval from lawyers.
Before running to spend tons of money with employment lawyers (who will gladly take your money), you may want some unbiased (free) 3rd parties to review the details of your situation.
Nope, just take it and move on. life is too short🙏🙏🙏

Do you have some sort of clear or shocking evidence in your possession that showed you were fired for a different, illegal reason?
And what is your goal? Getting your job back? Getting some severance? (Did you get severance already?)
You could sue, but it is unlikely you have much meaningful written/recorded evidence. He said she said arguments don't get far. And claiming "they fired me for performance, but i wasn't that bad, i was just the low half of mediocre" is not a great argument.
Finally, do you have money to burn? Chances are that your former employer has much deeper pockets than you.
Assuming you have no smoking gun evidence, and little/no money to burn, just move on. It sucks, but it is the best path forward.
All fair points. Thank you!

You can apply for unemployment and you'll most likely get it, but that's really it.

I have a law degree, so if you could elaborate on what you mean by this, I might be able to provide some informal advice as to what you could or couldn’t do. The answer, as it stands, based on limited info., is that it depends. (Most likely your best course is to just move on though.)
