Today, I was telling my coworker that I was considering quitting the shady, 50-shades-of-scum business we work at. He snitched to our boss, who quickly fired me on bullshit charges of incompetence, theft, and workplace bullying. I guess I'm not getting a good reference from him. FML

Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML

Today, I regret calling my hardass boss a cocksucking bastard when I quit a few months back. My new job just laid me off, and I could desperately use a good reference from the aforementioned cocksucking bastard. FML

Today, my coworker, who I thought was my “friend,” threw me under the bus and showed my boss all the texts I'd sent talking shit about her. I was sacked. I confronted him and told him I thought we were friends. He replied, “The mouse is friend of the cheese, it doesn’t mean he’s not gonna eat it.” FML

Today, my boss told me to resign within the month, or he'll fire me and give me a bad reference. I talked to him about it again later on, this time with my phone recording everything, so I could take the proof to HR. I guess he knew, because he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about.

Never ever talk about things like this to a coworker, it's basically asking for them to snitch and start trouble.

You shouldn't want that reference anyway, but wrongful termination lawyers here you come.

Due to being fired and not quitting you're eligible for unemployment. Not the worst thing ever...

That's what i love about Canada, incompetence is not a valid reason to fire someone so bosses can't pull shit like that

At least they can't say anything bad about you to future employers. Unless you have them down as a character reference, if they are just listed in employment history, they can't say anything bad about you. Only facts. They can say you worked there, how long, etc. They can't say you got fired for all of that because there is probably no evidence, so you could actually sue them for saying negative things to a future employer.

At least op can mooo-ve on now to a job where his cow-orkers are not milking him for information to go charging to his bull-headed boss to grass him up. #42 I calf believe you would take advantage of someone's spelling mistake like that.
