Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML

Yay for people's insecurities! I had coworkers like that once, I ended up quitting.

Sorry, OP, that really sucks. I was recently "let go" after only one day at a job I loved, because I live too far away from the workplace. So I know how you feel. And I can't believe how many idiots are saying its better to be unemployed when it's nearly impossible to find jobs. I'm guessing those people either have steady work or live with their parents and don't need to worry about money.

Many people prefer it. A lot of unemployment systems work best for the lazy, it's rather pathetic, but it pays significantly better to be lazy than to work a mediocre job if you're on unemployment after having a good paying job.

Sadly if where OP lives is similar to where I live an employer can fire an employee for almost any reason before 3 months - it's a "probationary period". Also sadly after 3 months you have to be very careful why & how you fire someone no matter how big of a moron they are.

@25 I agree. I am currently unemployed living at home. I've been job hunting and doing part time businesses for money. It's amazing what an employer will come up with in order to get rid of someone. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

A workers hire A workers, but B workers hire C workers.

It's good policy to just observe, when your the new employee. Situations like that are played out at many workplaces. People feel threaten, even supervisors. Good luck job hunting.
