Terminated for No Apparent Reason
I dooubt you have anything because New York is an employment-at-will state. That means you can be fired at anytime for any reason or no reason at all.
There are excepts to this general rule, but there is nothing in your query even suggesting that you would fall into an exception.
One exception would be if you were fired because of discrimination, but not any type of discrimination will due. It has to be a type of discrimination protected by law, such as discrimination based on race, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability or, in NYC or Long Island, sexual preference.
Another exception would involve civil service jobs, but, because you were there for only 6 weeks, you were still probationary employee. A probationary employee under the NYS Civil Service Law is basically treated the same as an at-will employee.
