Workers of the world…

By unemployed - 22/09/2009 17:08 - Canada

Today, I went into work. After three years of working 55 hours a week, they fired me by putting the contents of my locker at the front door, with a note that said "If not picked up by 10:00 am stuff will be donated." I work the night shift. I just lost three sweaters, two pairs of shoes, $60, and my job. FML

#6 and 7- he found out he was fired because they put his stuff by the door. reason for termination is yet unknown. OP- that sounds very unprofessional of your job. might even violate some business laws. not a lawyer but I would look into it just in case.

At least tell us what you did to get canned. It might help explain what otherwise looks like unnecessarily harsh treatment.

Nobody is allowed to steal your stuff even if they fired you.

There is more to this story than you're letting on. TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!

The Ontario Labour Code says that all permanent employees past their 3 month probation are entitled to a proper warning process (verbal, written, final, term), otherwise you can sue the company.. for more than what you lost... Even if you were temping or on contract, it's illegal to not give you sufficient time to pick up your stuff

Actually, some businesses would. I heard about one business, when they had to start laying people off but were afraid that resentful employees would steal information or office supplies if they had a chance, so they had a fire drill and once everyone was outside, they made an announcement that if their key-card won't let them back inside, it means that they no longer have a job and that their things would be mailed to them.

I don't get this....If you know your contents were there why didn't you pick them up?

I misunderstood what you wrote. It was the door that said " if not picked up by 10:00am...".

Sue!! Surely there is something in your workplace laws over there... if you have any, that doesn't allow them to do that?
