That seems like an open shut wrongful dismissal case, but I really don't know what the labour laws are in your end of the world

In the US? You can get fired because the manager doesn’t like the color of your shirt, or the perfume you’re wearing today. As long as they’re not being discriminatory against a federally protected class, (sex, race, religion, old age, disability, and national origin) it’s legal. Welcome to something called “at-will” employment. Meaning the employer or employee can choose to terminate their employment contract at will. They aren’t required to wait out the end of an employment contract, because the contract can be terminated by either party at will.

And even if they did fire you for being a member of one of those protected classes, (for instance, if they fired you for being a woman, or for being black), you’d need to prove it. And unless they were stupid enough to put that shit in writing, you’ll need to do a lot of investigative work to prove a pattern of discrimination.

Sweet jesus I have no idea how americans haven't gotten all french about it until they're given the same rights that most countries have :(

Genuinely sorry that you have to deal with that level of buuuuullllshit. Fingers crossed there's some hope for you getting rights and or a government that isn't actively trying to kill you
