Work: Review

Review

Today, I had my quarterly review with my supervisor at the warehouse I work at. He told me I was doing great and we discussed my raise. After I left his office, his supervisor told me I was being fired for my attendance. The last time I missed work was to attend a funeral. Five months ago. FML

Today, I was told I was being fired from my job after "5 months for poor performance." I helped lead my team to the highest possible success they’ve had the last 4 years. FML

Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Today, I had my six month employee review. My manager said that my attendance was good, and I was exceeding my targets performance wise. My reward, a five cent per hour pay cut. Apparently the rate at which I started is too high to meet their current pay scale. FML

Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML

Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML

Today, the manager that hired me and worked for years to inspire and connect her staff was laid to rest. Hours before the funeral, her replacement told me he wanted my 2 weeks notice on his desk tonight. I've been a model employee, he just doesn't like me. FML

Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML

Today, at work one of my co-worker was oddly nice to me; and my boss, who usually always says hi to me, didn't look or speak to me. Later that day I found out that I was going to be fired, not because my boss told me but because my picture was missing from the wall of employees. FML

wtf i just got laid off.... i think they needed an excuse to fire you, not lay you off so they would have to actually pay you severance or unemployment...why else would they fire you for something lame as that

In a time like this, some businesses will make up reasons to fire employees. You were most likely "fired" because your employer doesn't want you to make a successful unemployment claim, which would raise his unemployment insurance rates. Fight it.

I'm sorry a similar situation happened to my boyfriend. You didn't work for cvs did you? They are looking for any reasons to fire any one. Its their way of fixing their budget. Assholes

#10,it depends on what state your in,in some states like the one I live in,it's an "at will state" which means unless you have a contract with the company they can get rid of you for any or no reason at all,but at the same time you can quit anytime you want.I know about the firing part because the company I worked for fired me when I was diagnosed with cancer.I was filling out my FMLA leave paperwork when they came in and fired me.I talked to a lawyer,no luck.

clearly you dont deserve this, so why would a couple hundred/thousand people vote that you did? same with a bunch of other ones.. i just dont understand. does this website purposely have people that go out and make sure there is some competition in the votes?
