My wife was once fired with the argument that she was performing poorly. She counter-argued and said she was the most productive employee they had, that their argument simply wasn't true, and that she understood if their cashflow was tight and that that was the real reason. She offered to flexibly go down in hours at the convenience of the employer. She didn't force them to admit the real reason, and when they got their cashflow back and offered to give her full hours, she politely declined.
