I was fired today and I left my establishment with so many questions

Worked at said establishment for about 8 months now. Never had any issues with management, write-ups, or meetings about how I could improve as an employee. I was good friends with higher-ups and went out for drinks/dinner with them often. Today when I clocked in for work, my supervisor pulled me into his office along with my manager who I was supposedly good friends with. He handed me my final paycheck and told me that I’m being let go due to not being a good fit for the company any longer. I sat there stunned, as I had no previous offenses that would lead to immediate termination. When I asked them why they were letting me go, they simply told me I was no longer a good fit.

They said I could still use them as a reference for future employers, but this was a final decision. I grabbed my stuff and drove 25 minutes back home in complete shock. I’ve never been fired before and always left companies on great terms. I could care less about the job itself, but the lack of reasoning behind the firing seems completely unfair. On top of that, the feeling of betrayal from higher-up coworkers that I grew to love isn’t great. I know sometimes they don’t always have a say, but I would have appreciated to hear what I could’ve worked on instead of blind-siding me. I worked hard and was told often I was doing a good job. Jobs come and go but I can’t get over how unfair it feels to be let go with the reasoning “we just don’t feel like it’s a good fit anymore” when I was never talked to about points I could work better on.
