You’d think the firing would be done, not only in a face-to-face setting, but also either at the end of the shift or you’re not expected to work the rest of the day. Especially in an ambulance. How can you focus on your work if you’re crying the whole day?!

He's firing an ambulance worker for being sick too often when we're under a national quarantine? Your boss is a fucking idiot.

I dunno how it works in other countries but here in Australia that would be called unfair dismissal. which is illegal and you can sue them for that.

Why would you work seven more hours being “fired”? If you’re fired, you leave. Not like you could get in any more trouble if you choose to

True, but it would leave their partner alone with no help, which is no good for emergency responders.

Also, if the boss is allowing OP to work the rest of the shift, she probably also chose to do so because she needs the money

That’s grounds for a lawsuit. You can’t be fired for being sick if you have medical issues. Also, you’re a trooper for finishing your shift because I would’ve said to drop me off at home. That’s ridiculous.

I did. Then again, my employer broke my back (physically) right before firing me, but not before refusing to get me medical care for 2 hours then dumping me at an emergicare (and yes, I am suing because I lost my entire IT career. Worst part was, I was injured by my coworkers in A HOSPITAL which they refused to take me to the ER in the place my back got broken. Lost my career, lost a marriage, lost my dog, my posessions and my life as Im too badly damaged to work in the field I went to school half my life for. You would cry too if you felt your back physically break!

I don't know of any job that fires someone and keeps them still working their shift.
