I was fired, today.

[lute]

that is weird. sorry you lost your job. i was fired from my job and then they called me back a week later asking me when i could work again. maybe they'll ask you back.

[catnapper]

Sorry to hear that. I know what it feels like ot be unemployed too. Good luck in trying to find out what REALLY happened!

[Miss Z]

Hmm, they sound like very odd circumstances to fire someone.

I bet you could get a claim for unfair dismissal easily from that, people get them for far worse, believe me! Whatever happens from now, I hope you can settle into a job that will suit you perfectly!

[QUOTE=mina'smommaI would say talk to a manager and get a straight answer. They can't just let you go without any specific reason. [/QUOTE]

Yes they can. There is no obligation to give you a reason.

I am very sorry the way this was handled. Good luck to you.

You could probably sue them if you felt like it, and get your job back. You could make a huge stink and get it back, call corporate and managers and get all documentation of getting fired, disciplinary reports, etc.

[Cataholic]

You can't sue them, you can't collect for unemployment, etc. Sure, it wasn't a 'nice' way to let someone go, but, find out why. If only to see if there was something in your presentment that made a difference.

Yes, sadly most employers are "at will," meaning they can let you go for anything. I hope they give you a satisfactory answer and that something better comes along!

if she's been there less then "x" number of days they don't have to have a reason to let her go.
And our Lawyer friend said that she couldn't either.
And in today's "sue me" society its rather surprising. I mean you can sue for coffee being hot and ice cream being cold.

First off, I wouldn't take their " No reason for dismissal" as a personal remark on your job performance. And , I'm very sorry that this employer overlooked you the way they did.

I'm sure that a better , more rewarding job , is on the way!!!!

Sounds like it is time to move on, and also do some self-evalutation, which requires being quite humble, I guess. I've been there and done that, in the past, and there is probably something there that you just don't realize or block out. I'm sure you will find a perfect position in time. I hope so!!!
