Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML
Today, my boss fired me because he wants to start dating my mother and apparently doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. My boss is my brother. His reason being that, "it would create awkward tension between us." I've been working for him for 5 years, and it's like he's only just realised that I was there. FML
Today, my son was fired from his new job, which was going to support us since I recently lost mine. His excuse was, "Conflict of interest." He was a mascot for a fast-food restaurant and refused to dance around. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? My boss didn't like that my manager and I are friends outside of work, and he thinks we are sleeping together. She's gay and I live with my boyfriend of five years. He blamed it on me wearing the wrong shoes three weeks ago. FML

I'm sure he thinks his son is already paying you to be his "girlfriend" and he just wasn't into double-dipping.

Wrongful termination, I think. I could see how you dating his son may be a little awkward for him, but that's not cause to fire somebody.

Yeah it sucks, but you did put your boss in a ethical dilemma. He now had a conflict of interests with your employment. If he treated you favorably it could be seen as favoritism because of your connection with his son. If he reprimanded you for something, then he could get backlash from his son. While you may not see the conflict of interests, he certainly did. I don't fault him for his actions, but I also empathize with your predicament.

Yeaaaah. That isn't an 'ethical dilemma'. At all.... It isn't unethical to employ someone whom you have a relationship with outside of work. Perhaps some may misconstrue some of his actions as being unethical (like if he gives her a raise or something someone might think it's because she is his son's girlfriend) but nothing about employing her was unethical.

It's only unethical if the OP or her former boss make it unethical by asking for special favors, giving unearned promotions, etc. Just because other people think she's getting favored treatment, when she's really not, does not make it unethical.

Now you'll have learned an important lesson for your next job: don't date the boss' son. In fact, such relationships are a violation of the law in some cases.

What law are you referring to?

I guess he'll soon realize how uncomfortable he feels when you're around because he fired you. I can understand why someone would do this. It sounds like you've been working there for a while, so I'm actually thinking this is his excuse. If you were just hired, wouldn't you have talked to him (or if not you, your boyfriend would have talked to him) about the job / interview process?
