Remember me

By laxguy23 - 21/04/2009 15:11 - United States

Today, I got a email from my boss. He said he was going to have to let me go for missing so much work over the last week. I was laid off two months ago. I don't know what is more depressing, getting fired from a job twice or the fact it took two months for them to notice I wasn't there anymore. FML

If it took 2 months for the work you were hired to do piled up so much it became noticable, then I suppose you really were let go because there was not enough work to support the position. Therefore, might be evidence you losing the job was not anyones fault.

Haha that sucks. But I guess maybe your better off being fired instead of trying to work your way up in such an unorganized business. I agree with pokipoki. For security + other reasons, in corporate settings, you trash anything related to employees that get laid off so you don't have to worry about anything they left in their emails, on their computers, or in their work areas. Plus if they have a relied upon position like a technician where they could screw up your entire computer mainframe if they held a grudge, they're usually escorted out by security no matter what and not allowed back inside.

Lol I would try and get my pay for the last two months. However, that sucks. I'm sorry. But hopefully, like I said, you'll get paid for the last two months.

#15 can you please explain what the guidelines are for something to qualify as an FML? If a guy's life isnt ****** after getting fired from his job (twice) AND having no one notice his absence for 2 months, then I dont know if any posts on this website would be actual FMLs. I hate when people try to be the FML police.

#3, #12 I agree. And now you've got a "legal" document from your employer stating that he expected you to be at work last week (email is a legal form of communication). So, if you can be bothered with the hassle of it, you could claim for pay as most recent official legal communication from organisation is valid. I would say a notice of dismissal like this email would count as such, as your (ex-) boss is the representative of the organisation. But, it'll be a hassle to claim for, and you'd need to talk to a lawyer. Or, ask for a meeting with your boss, and then state that you won't fight the dismissal if they sort out the missing pay until now; like with a cash cheque right then.

I agree that you should go back and ask for those two months worth of pay. =) Although, that could come back to bite you since the second time you were fired and there is a difference between being fired and being laid off (i.e. laid off qualifies you for um-employment, fired does not.) Good luck in finding a new job!

Oh, right. Better than Gone with the Wind, Citizen Kane, and Casablanca. Hyperbole, anyone? Jeez.
