Um, employers lie all the time. My employer told me they were eliminating my position then the very next day after they laid me off, posted my position to hire someone. They absolutely lie. Sometimes it gets them into lawsuits.

You're saying she didn't lie but I don't see where you asked her if it was because of the cell phone use. You are just assuming that it was only because it's the end of the season.

You made it easy for them to decide by breaking the rules. They had to choose who to keep, you broke the rules, so it was easy to let you go instead of keep you.

Don't break the rules next time and maybe you'll be kept on.
