Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, I got married and I'd invited everyone from work including my boss. His way of congratulating me was to mention that I'm out of a job. He said it was a good time to do it because he thought I would be too happy or too drunk to care. FML

Well, Idaho is a Right to Work state. That means, an employer can terminate you for any reason, or no reason. No fault. None taken.

Has anyone realized that if someone fires you like that with no good reason, you can sue them for wrongful termination? -_-

In some states you can be fired for no reason at all. In some states this would be a percently legitimat reason to fire someone

I am not an attorney. While it is true they can fire you with no good reason, this is obviously related to her being married. And given the nature of what went down and being fired on the spot, it should be an easy lawsuit for wrongful termination. Hopefully it's a large company with deep pockets.

Probationary period? it was her first day. Perhaps he did not want a married person for the job, due to travel. I mean we are getting only one side of the story.
