Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Unsatisfatorily performance of duties not specified in offer letter.

I have been terminated from a position of Computer Programmer.

The offer letter stated my position (programmer), annual pay, and hours worked (40 hrs. + occasional overtime) with no mention whatsoever of an ''at-will'' clause. I was terminated for incorrectly performing duties (of computer operator)that were assigned to me, which were NOT stated in my offer letter OR job description. At the time of initial repremand, I complained verbally of inadequate training for the additional assigned tasks AND unreasonable ''required'' overtime to perform said duties (upwards of 80 hrs. per week). Was continously required to perform said duties in addition to programming and was terminated at the time of next mishap for unsatisfactory performance. I do realize that Florida is a ''right-to-work'' state...BUT...do I have any reacourse??

Not really, unless you were terminated in violation of a contract or statute (ie discrimination etc.), your employer could terminate you for whatever reason it desired.
