Thank god in Canada, the employer has to prove just cause. fyl op!

I'm sorry, its unfortunate that you got fired, but something doesn't match up here. It sounds like your one of those people who expect the world on a silver platter for no other reason than because you're you. You may not even realize it, but that's just how you sound. I doubt your boss is out to just spite you and end your wonderful vacation for no good reason.

Oh, there was a reason. He wanted you to deal with the bleak, dark English winter rather than traipsing about in the glorious, Australian summer. Something tells me you got fired for more than slightly-less-than-mediocre performance. And don't you people say sacked anyways?

Time to go back to australia and travel and drink beer with your mates.

he did that in respect of your trip, take it as a positive.

Wow I'm sorry

That's so messed up. But does he have a reason to not like you?

I'm sure he had some reason... at any rate, how rude!

In the UK, unless you are either in a trial period or on a temporary contract, the employer needs to give you a verbal warning followed by two written warnings prior to firing you. Based on this either you have messed up a few times in the past and were on borrowed time anyway, were not employed on a permanent basis with them, or your boss has screwed you over and its time for an unfair dismissal case.

That Is So Messed Up ! I Would Have Slapped Him!
