  First step is to talk to your supervisor, find out what the issue is, and discuss how best to address it. We can't do that for you, and we can't give you better advice until you have done so si ce we know only what you can tell us.

@keshlam as the right reaction:"First step is to talk to your supervisor, find out what the issue is, and discuss how best to address it. We can't do that for you, and we can't give you better advice until you have done so si ce we know only what you can tell us."

If all you know is that the head boss wants to fire you, you have nothing to go on and nothing to work with. If - and I mean, if - that's typical of the the way you operate, you deserve be fired.

You need to find out what the head boss's itch is and scratch it if scratching it is doable. Your supervisor told him not to fire you but your supervisor is not necessarily your ally - your supervisor may simply be saying to the head boss that it's not the right timing.

Find out from your supervisor what it is that's motivating your head boss's desire to fire you. Sometimes, it's a miscommunication, a misunderstanding. Or you're being held accountable for something that you have no control over. If the head boss's desire to fire you is coming as a surprise to you, then it's more likely that this desire comes from a specific incident involving you in some way than his assessment of some sort of performance pattern from you.

You can't do a thing unless you get the facts. It's concerning that we have to tell you something as basic as "you have to get the facts".

It depends on what state you are in. If you are in a state where they allow termination at will (boss can fire you for any reason) there is nothing you can do. Otherwise, boss has to give reason why he is firing you. In certain cases if you can prove it's based on discrimination, you have good case.

Sometimes a lawsuit is just not worth it, you are better off circulating your resume and brushing up on your skill sets (perhaps learn some new ones while on unemployment)

Everything happens for the best. You have to let go of the pain to move on to experience the joys of life (I'm learning this myself)
