Today, my company let me go after 3 months. A day before my wedding and with zero advance notice. FML

Are they allowed to do that? I thought jobs had to give you notice.

Most jobs aren't required to tell you "you're terminated in _ days." Congratulations on the wedding, though

The same thing happened to my brother about 2 weeks before his wedding/honeymoon, and he had child support on 2 daughters plus a new stepson. You'll be okay!Start dropping off resumes and applications as soon as you can.

I'm in NJ and as far as I know jobs will give you warnings if it's a behavioral issue, but layoff and fired aren't the same thing. If you are fired you don't generally get advanced notice unless you were previously warned. Layoffs are corporate issues and they have to let people know the company is in trouble. Most probation periods are 60 days at least here and they are not required to give advance notice.

I assume they let you go because you were a fairly new employee and you wanted time off for the honeymoon. I also think it's fair to assume that you knew you'd be getting married before you got the job. That being said, if you didn't tell them when they hired you, YDI.

You're assuming way too much. Without a follow-up there's no way to be sure whether it was their fault or not. I'm from Germany, and when you're employed here, you get a certain amount of vacation days a year. So, simply said, if you want some time off, you use those. Then it wouldn't really matter that they tried to take days off for their honeymoon, because they would just have to work more later. All that assuming that they wanted to take time off. Considering the zero advance notice and the bad timing I'd say a definite FML.

Jobs have to give you at least a two weeks notice unless you do something to provoke them. I'm not saying you did, just in general.

#49 you couldn't possibly be more wrong. There's no law requiring advance notice before terminating an employee.
