A complaint can survive dismissal if the plaintiff produces some evidence to suggest that at least one of the defendant's reason for the termination of employment was false, misleading, or incomplete. Here, the plaintiff failed to meet the standard. The general principle that the statute must be construed broadly in favor of plaintiffs is not a substitute for evidence.
