Yes, unless the circumstances your discharge violates your company's own policies, the terms of an employment/union agreement or is the direct result of actionable discrimination. In an at-will employment relationship the terms and conditions of employment can be set much as an employer sees fit; this includes the grounds for termination. Bottom line, an employee can be dismissed for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
