Consider this, though. The specific state of which I speak is Michigan which has an "at will" firing policy. This means that, unless you are under the protection of a union, your employer can fire you at their discretion and not have to tell you the reason for which they're firing you. Such was this case, except the person in question learned the motives behind her firing.

On the whole, I agree with your guy's initial assessment. If they want you out, they'll find a way.
