He didn't seem to care or believe me when I told him that I wasn't smoking. So I've been emailing as many different people I can in the company with no reply. I'm not just going to let this go because I was fired for (not) smoking, basically. Because these 2 guys that worked at the other store called and told their manager that I had a lit cigarette. They lied and everyone sided with them and fired me. That's wrong.

I know KY is an 'at will' state, but is there anything I can do to get my job back.
