District Manager and Regional Manager are buddies, so when District tells Regional that Boss is in the right, there's not going to be much questioning.
Arkansas is a "Right to Hire/Fire" state so basically I could fire your ass for looking at me crossways and there's really nothing you could do about it.
This place has been through several managers, and theft was up, profits were down, it was pretty much a nightmare for the DM and if he came here he had to stay for a week to right the ship. As they shuffled through managers hand over fist, they finally found some consistency when Boss took over.
Basically, our productivity is insane, our numbers are great, losses are way down, and Boss looks like a goldenboy because he's passing it off as he's doing this shit singlehandedly, like the staff we have now had nothing to do with it.
He's in a really good position right now. He could probably off someone on the front steps and they would believe he must have had a good reason for it.
He's simply a lazy, selfish asshole who is exercising a little bit of that power now that someone has ruffled his tailfeathers.

So what you're telling me is your perception of the company's situation is forcing you into a moral dilemma. Most calls into HR can be anonymous and mention the words potential lawsuit and you have their ears.
Maryland is also a right to fire state, but we have protocols in place to prevent unemployment, none-the-less lawsuits. This man could have a legitimate claim that he was fired for speaking his mind about the lack of effort from this manager and that it was a personal attack rather than a business decision. I suggest you check which angles you can pursue anonymously to put a bug in the higher ups ear.
I just witnessed a GM at a retrial store I used to work for get fired through an anonymous system to the Corperate office HR for lack of moral in the store. No one was punished for their calls. You provide the info you are comfortable giving.
Plain and simple.
