Fired after filing a complaint

[oilm]

What is the name of your state? Virginia

I recently filed a complaint against a coworker. I was placed on admin leave w/o pay. The offending employee was allowed to work. 1 week later I was fired.. Is this legal? I understand I work in an AT-WILL state, but isnt this a clear case of a retaliatory firing.. This is all after I sent a letter to the Pres. informing him of what was going on, including policies that were not followed.

My employer also contacted my wifes boss (we did work in my wifes building) who is a reg. property man. and gave her details of my situation with there company then proceeds to explain how my wife is unprofessional. All this without any documentation or any prior complaints.
Isn't that slander?

Please help

What was the nature of your complaint?

Ditto to purple's question. In addition:

Isn't that slander? No. (a) I doubt telling your wife what happened constituted "broadcasting it to an audience," (b) relating the facts of a situation and his opinion is not slander, and (c) I doubt you were professionally damaged by his informing your wife of the situation.
