Today, my boss reprimanded me in front of the rest of the staff for "not following instructions" because I went to a company meeting. I have the email from him telling me to go to the meeting. He thinks I faked it. Unemployment sucks. FML

Yeah, unemployment sucks. You know what sucks more? Having a disgruntled former employee post your information on an adult male services website. You're welcome.

I'm a littl confused on this one. You're in trouble for going to a meeting, for which you have proof you were told to go, and he's calling you out on "not following instructions" and that you "faked it"? I'm sorry, there is something more to this story we are not hearing. Either your boss was told that you did not go and he doesn't believe that you went, or the meeting he wanted you to go to is on a different date, or time. People don't just fire someone like this, even dumbasses. I know that if that happened to me, I would've thrown a fit, and refused to leave the building until the situation had been resolved, and my job back. Obviously you didn't care about your job enough to do that, or you didn't follow instructions. Even if your boss is impossible to talk to, you can always call up his boss and explain the story. YDI

Oh come on. NO ONE thinks there is more to this story? Bosses doesn't just fire people like that, even of they are a dumbass. 46 - Please tell me how. Thumbing down my comment doesn't let me know what's wrong with my opinion. I honestly want to hear why people don't agree with me.

I have to agree, this story is missing details or just plain has then wrong. It doesn't make any kind of sense.

You mean stupidity. Ignorance can be remedied through enlightenment. Those that refuse, graduate to stupidity.

I'd say both, and a lot of other negative adjectives.

As an unemployed person, I'd rather work for a dumbass and get paid than continue being poor.

Should've showed him the proof he sent you the email. I don't understand how people that thick end up becoming bosses.

It's a requirement at boss school, if you don't show a complete lack of common sense they throw you out.

"I have the email... He thinks I faked it." Sounds like OP did try showing him the proof.

That sounds good now but op does not want to be sued for libel especially since they're out of work op should just shrug it off and put in some more applications

Sue your work for an unlawful termination if possible.

^ exactly my thoughts. After suing someone would you really want to be around them all day, let alone work for them? Awkward!
