Virginia follows an "employment-at-will" doctrine, which means that an employee may be fired for any reason as long as it is not illegal (i.e. discrimination).
Also, if you have a written employment contract, see if it specifies circumstances when an employee will be fired. If it does, then you can only be fired for one of the specified circumstances.
