I do not see any case in these fact, but that is not to say that there are not other facts that would support a case. North Carolina is an employment-at-will state and employees can be fired at any time for good reason, bad reason or no reason at all. You can only file a wrongful termination case if you can show that the motive for your termination was either unlawful discrimination or unlawful retaliation.
