Bad hair day

By Tony - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff

Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML

you need to get some free legal advice, just call any lawyer in the phonebook and ask for a consultation. you are a new client, so the first 30 min is free.

Alopecia is the universe's way of telling you that you should be bald. Shave your head and hope that you don't have a raisin scalp.

Sue. They are discriminating against you for a medical condition.

my mom has that, tell your boss to go to hell.

Sue your boss for verbal harassment, too. The law hasn't existed but it should. Then sue him for stupidity if he didn't know what alopecia means. Again, the stupidity law hasn't existed but it should. Don't sue him if he is ugly, also. There really was a law but it has been repealed long ago. I'm just being sarcastic but unfortunately, your boss should be fired, not you. Superiors abuse their "so-called authority"

Go back and punch him in the nutsack.

You have 3 months from the date of encounter to take to employment tribunal, contact equality commission: google it. Alopecia is a hidden social and psychological disability and although there is no physical infirmity there is a short term adjustment issue and therefore a short term disab.

I would check into a lawsuit. I know that in a good bit of states that you cannot be fired due to a medical condition. it's basically a form of discrimination.
