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

So, he used that as an excuse, but hated you for other reasons. Way to suck at your job, OP.

And that's why he's the boss and you are not. If you're ever able to find a job again, try NOT wasting your company's time and just do your ******* work that they are paying you to do.

Print his status update out. Don't retaliate on Facebook. Instead contact your state employment department and the HR department at your old job if it looks like the employer didn't follow the same guidelines he set out for you or if you think you were terminated improperly.

Well first off, this may have been the final nail in the coffin. We do not know what type of employee you were for the past 11 years, how many times you were "written up" or "counseled" either, that part is missing, so my response on what to do now can't be stated My last job, they fired someone for that reason as well, and when they fought it, the job came in with the write ups and counseling sheets for that very affect, and one of them even stated at the end of the write up "doing so again, will result in disciplinary action varying to suspension without pay to termination". Needless to say, that person ended up losing the case. If you have not been in trouble, get a screen shot of the facebook post, and also any other info you can get, since it seems it was a hostile workplace, and file a complaint with the state employment agency and also contact a lawyer

that's like at my job. managers are technically allowed to use their phones if they need to call other managers. but they all just text all day. they also sit in the office surfing the net. take food whenever they want and give free food to all their friends and family, and yet they want to take away employee discounts because they say we need to save money.

#41... It's called pluperfect tense, indicating action that took place before the immediate past. "I had gone to the store before I went to the bank." "I had had a job before I lost it for reasons that were my fault." Stuff like that.

I know, it just sounds weird to me.

true. many language/rhetoric experts advocate dropping the second had, but imo, "i'd had" is actually a very nice way of circumventing the awkward "i had had" and still keeping the tense clear.
