Oh I was forgetting that op might live in a country with shit labour laws.
Where I am that kind of firing they need to be pretty confident you’ve been stealing or you fucked up real bad and got caught trying to cover it up rather than owning it so it can get mitigated.

No, we have fairly good labor laws in Germany. There aren’t that many reasons why you could fire an employee legally – economic situation of the company being one – and I think they knew that argument was debatable. I think they just wanted to be on the safe side legally, and more importantly, they wanted to intimidate to dissuade people from suing for wrongful termination.
