I was called on my day off by the owner of a company i was with for 15 years and said he sold the company and i had no job anymore. he did say he would give me a thousand dollars (which didnt cover my 2 weeks vacation i lost) if i did the humiliating task of going to the store while the competition emptied it out. very stressing and humiliating. havent found a job that i liked since

You can get fired for missing a lot of work.

You're correct: you were used.  If you have proof that you were actually hired, you can probably sue for wrongful discharge. Firing because "another girl came back" isn't acceptable cause for dismissal.\n\nThe definition of wrongful discharge is: When an employee is fired for reasons that are not legitimate, typically either because they are unlawful or because they violate the terms of an employment contract. The contract can be either expressed or implied.\n\nIf you have a case, what you can recover may not be worth the effort, but a free consultation with a lawyer only costs you an hour of your time.

If you said "you're fired" to your interviewer. Or if you repeat their first names for 7 times while there trying to ask you a question.

under certain circumstances you can get unemployment if you are fired.  Check with the labor board or unemployment commission

Not mine, but a friend had a horrible boss who made her type out all the letters telling some other employee's they were being made redundant. At 5 minutes before home time he came into the office and said to her 'oh by the way, you need to add your name to that list bcz we're getting rid of you too'...

If the company fires you for any reason other than intentional misconduct then you can apply for and can win your unemployment benefits.You may have to file an appeal but if you win you will collect a lump sum of your weekly benefits owed to you.The burden of proof is on the company.Remember "intentional" is the key.If you are layed off for lack of work you can draw and under certain circumstances you can quit and draw benefits.

ok, this one I can answer truthfully. Why, because it happened to me. Someone said something so bad that another persons job was on the line. I spoke up in defense of the employee who was about to be fired. I told them all I knew with the exception that my name not be revieled. As a result, the employee was not fired, but everyone was mad at me because I  came forward. Somehow, all found out it was me. In the end, everyone made my life a living hell and I wound up quitting my job. I am actually doing alot better now and am stress free. Luckily I didnt need my job that much or else I would still be there suffering. Bottom line is , if you really need your job, look the other way. No one will give you a raise or promotion for being a narc, even though it should be the right thing to do.

Technically you were fired. If you quit you need to let someone know that you quit.

that will probably get you fired, you're taking potential work away from your boss and the crews that work for him, not a good move

I just fired someone three weeks ago for thier miserable attitude.  \n\nList only facts, not your opinion or heresay from others.  Explain how this behavior effects your work, your departments team environment and reflects to outside customers on the company. \n\nPutting it in writing is good because you have the ability to erase... be careful not to sound like a complainer or whiner, but someone who is concerned about the work environment and how it could be better. \n\nThen, know that someone will have a talk with her and she may then get a worse attitude toward you because of this.

yes. I lost a job that way once. They let me start before the police background check came in and they fired me a week later.

That's life, you don't plan for things like that, they just fall on your lap and you gotta deal with them. So you've been fired after 15 years on the job, well, look at the brightside: you've got no choice now but to get yourself together and move on to bigger and better things. It sure sucks to loose a job, but in the end what would have 15 more years in the same company brought to you.

I had a miserable job that lasted 2 months.\n I was so happy when I got laid-off.

First, I would not say that you were fired. You weren't, exactly. You resigned and as long as you kept a copy of that termination letter you gave them, you shouldn't doubt that part of it. It feels icky when you think you've been fired.\nThen, due to the fact that you did have a legitimate reason to be away from work (health, der) they should cut you a little slack. However, it can't hurt to say that you are willing to start from the bottom and work your way up. Subbing, etc. As long as you can have that chance, and get your foot in, you can build trust and show that you are a worthy hire.\nWhy wouldn't you hire you? You shouldn't think that either! Did you want this to happen to you? Wouldn't you want a break?\nThat's all you need now. A chance, a break.\nGood luck!
