Does the supervisor have enough money to make it worthwhile? Is there any truth to what the supervisor said? Sure, you can sue but you are probably better off just getting a new job.

Likely not. Employer can fire you for anything. You may be able to sue for slander, I do not know.

You may be able to sue the supervisor, if the supervisor knew that you didn't say whatever you got in trouble for, especially if the supervisor made it up to cover up an improper reason for firing you, such as race discrimination or disability discrimination. You should talk with a local lawyer who specializes in wrongful termination cases, and tell them the details of your situation.

See an attorney, and remember that if you can fire them (quit) then, generally they can quit (fire) you.
