Today, I asked my boss for a raise, explaining that another shop offered me a job at a higher rate, but I would stay if he would offer me the same. Instead, he fired me then called the other shop and said I was fired for failing a drug test. FML

Today, my coworker paid me back the $15 I let him borrow and we shook hands. Later, I was called into my boss's office, where he threatened to fire me for doing a drug deal in front of customers. The police are getting involved. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss decided to have the whole staff drug tested and fire everyone who failed. Out of an original staff of 14 people, only my boss, two coworkers and I remain. I now have four times my normal workload and am seriously thinking maybe I should've said "Yes" to drugs. FML
Today, I walked into my boss's office to ask for a raise, and walked out unemployed. FML

Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. I pointed out that due to a technicality, if he hired someone to replace me, he'd have to pay them more anyway. He said he'd gladly pay more for "someone who knows his goddamn place" and made it clear I'll be jobless very soon. FML

Your boss is an asshole! There has to be someone you can contact because he is out of line.

Sue him

Sue him for it, then explain the situation to the other place that offered the job, and ask them to do a drug test if they don't believe you.

I'm with everyone else. You likely have a lawsuit. He had no right to fire you like that.

Lawsuit time! Generally it's dangerous to do that, even if you stay it will likely antagonize your current employer, generally just best to take the other job and leave,,,,but he sure was a spiteful jackass about it, not even sure if what he did was legal,,,I would definitely investigate it,,,,,

It definitely wasn't, what he did was defamation of character (slander) and depending on jurisdictions it can be a criminal act, but it is always a civil wrong. And if he has written up the OP as failing a drug test for reason of termination in legal documents without evidence then that definitely is a crime. This is one of those rare fmls where 'Sue him!' is the only fair and logical response.

That breaks slander laws, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, oh man I am so sorry. IF you can prove it and if you can gather enough material to make him/her out to be the snake s/he really is, you can seriously sue that company.

Never be loyal to a company. They will remind you are expendable.
