I live in Georgia USA my employment laws explicitly state I can be fired or quit for any reason or no reason. As much as that sucks, I could quit because I don’t like my boss’ new haircut and that’s ironically more legally protected than me being fired for being bisexual.
Whether or not it’s legal to quit or fire someone isn’t the topic though, this is about your previous employer communicating your termination status to a prospective employer
they cannot ask why or how I left because the law is I can leave for any and no reason
Just because you can legally quit for any reason at any time does not mean your prospective employer can’t ask your previous employer why or how you left. These are 2 different things
If they misrepresent the method of your termination in any way you can potentially sue for defamation, so, yeah, they can say what they want as long as they want to get sued.
Sure, but all your previous employer has to do is be honest. If you tell your boss you quit effective immediately, that’s “resignation without notice” at most companies. You can try to sue for defamation if this costs you a future job, but your previous employer has their documentation lined up and you will lose
