Miscellaneous: Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward"...

Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward" to my boss. All I did was get him coffee and a biscuit from McDonald's to celebrate his 15-year anniversary working there. FML

Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML

Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML

Unfair dismissal

By representative - 20/04/2017 00:00

Today, I was let go without warning at work. Why? Because my boss saw some comments I'd posted. Nothing I'd said was offensive or controversial, but he said he didn't care, because he didn't agree with it and didn't want me to "smear" the company name. I represent the company? I just serve coffee. FML

Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML

Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML

Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML

that's not a valid reason for him to fire you.try and talk to someone higher up.

Talk to headquarters and tell them your situation. You shouldn't be fired for that! Good luck op

Coffee and a biscuit might be an aphrodisiac, you never know

Surely that's illegal, if that's literally the only reason?

To anyone saying that "they can't fire you for that", realize that if this happened in Florida Georgia Indiana Louisiana Massachusetts Missouri Montana North Carolina Pennsylvania Rhode Island Texas Virginia They are "at will" states and can fire you without reason.

North Carolina, so he is allowed

I'm a supervisor in an at will state, and if I tried that they'd sue, report me to corporate, etc. and I'd lose my job instead of them. Get a lawyer; at will rarely stands up in court, and one incident of food is not enough to cry sexual harassment.

Oh also, "at will" basically means they can let you go without reason. Your idiot boss gave you a reason, a very unfounded reason. It doesn't even fall into at will anymore, but termination due to sexual harassment, which you can and should fight.

"At will" doesn't mean they can fire you at their pleasure and incur no consequences. Go to the unemployment office and file for unemployment. While you're there, ask what actions you can bring against your former employer, and ask the proper way to go about it.
