Today, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML

Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Pretend you like all the shit your boss dumps on you. That way, he'll go mad and you can take his job!

I assume this is to get around from paying you a severance package? Start keeping notes of how he is trying to make you miserable and have a word with HR

Sounds like it's time for a bit of malicious compliance.

sounds like my place. in 9 years, only 3-4 people left amicably. the rest (dozens of people) quit in anger and despair.

Sounds like the perfect time to start taking longer with your work as well as making small mistakes to ensure nothing really gets done.

Everything everyone has said in these comments, has already been on my mind! My plan right now is to keep "working" (the bare minimum, so as to not be insubordinate) while documenting everything that is being done to me. I have consulted legal and I have printed every nasty email and text message. I am looking for a new job and I plan on quitting only when I find a new position. I will not quit until then and in the event that I am fired first, I will request a severance package and I will sue for wrongful termination as well as unemployment benefits. When I quit, I will request an exit interview with the owners of the company and I will give them a packet of everything that I have documented as proof of poor treatment. I am not the only one unhappy here and the owners need to understand that the management is causing the high turnover rate. Thanks for your support! I hope no one else has to experience this.
