Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML

Listen here, young people, YOU MAY NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR BOSS. If your boss is doing something really illegal or against the company rules, many places have anonymous whistle-blower hotlines. If you don't, then get an unsigned note to someone who can do something about it. Make sure you are not the only one who knows the incriminating information, or he will know it's from you. Remember my wisdom from yesterday about the guy "stealing" leftover bread? Remember how a bunch of people came and backed me up on that? This is yet another one of those BS things that goes on in the business world. How do you think the whole subprime thing worked? No one has the guts to tell about wrong and illegal things going on. You might think you are coming here for some laughs, but you might accidentally learn a thing or two about the "real world."

FYL.. but maybe you should have called the customer back. If there was no way to do that, such as you didn't have their number, then FYL.

And you want to work for this guy because...?

Go over this person's head to their boss and tell them what happened? If that doesn't work, look into a wrongful termination suit against the boss. Seems like he fired you to punish you, not because you did something wrong.

I've had this happen before. Got yelled at by a bitchy stepmom for hanging up on someone because I was too lazy to go find the person they were calling for. Except I didn't, it just disconnected... V_v

maybe you should go back and tell the employer about this problem...

Seek revenge for the dropped call. Drop kick the phone through your boss's window. That will teach him. That was a pun by the way. Get it... Dropped call, litterally, drop kicking a phone. Get it?

Well, you can contest that to the next level up as well, and the phone service's logs should prove it. Your boss is the one that should be getting fired. If that doesn't happen though, even after you prove your innocence, I wouldn't recommend actually trying to get your job back. Actually, I'd be curious to find out how your boss discovered what happened since those kinds of reports are supposed to be anonymous anyway... (unless it's something you've complained about before, in which case, you should've realized this could happen)...
