I know that trying to determine whether you've been wrongfully terminated can feel confusing and stressful. 

You should start by examining the reasons your employer gave for your termination. Consider if they align with your understanding of the situation and the policies in your employee handbook. Sometimes, termination might not be for the reasons you were told, especially if those reasons seem unfair or don’t follow company policy.

You also need to think about any rights that may have been violated. Employers cannot terminate you in ways that discriminate against you based on race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics. If you suspect discrimination, that's a significant red flag. 

Retaliation for whistleblowing or exercising legal rights is another area to consider. 

That said, at the end of the day the best way to make a determination is to talk to a professional. A Los Angeles employment attorney can provide you with specific legal advice and help assess your situation accurately. It's the best way to know your rights and any actions you might need to take.
