Losing your job stinks no matter the circumstances. Pennsylvania is an employment at will state, meaning that except for a limited set of circumstances, an employer can terminate you for any reason or no reason at all. The reason cooked up by your employer may not seem fair but it doesn't give you a claim. I'm sorry to tell you that. You should be eligible for unemployment benefits and should apply right away.
