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, I got fired for failing a drug test for weed. My boss is the one who sells me weed. FML
Today, I was told I would not be getting the job I was offered because I failed my drug test. They never gave me 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, 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 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.

YDI for telling him where you got offered a job

Although I despise the very idea of employers being able to force such intrusion into your privacy on you (in Germany this still would be unthinkable)... I guess your best chance would be to immediately talk to that other boss, explain the situation and offer an immediate drug test. And after the test suit your old bosses backside off.

So you're going to sue the **** out of him for defamation of character, right? I ask because that is one of the most obvious actionable offenses I have ever seen and only an idiot would let him get away with it.

Lawyer the **** up man, you could take him for all he's worth.

Get a lawyer. Because its against the law for a former employer or the present one to do something like that. And have him prove it. If he can't then sue like crazy for any and every little thing you and your lawyer can think of. First comes to mind is defamation of character and undue stress. Good luxk

This could have been avoided if you haven't mentioned the other store's name.

I'm hoping the OP can afford the lawyer. Unfortunately, also trying to prove it something else. If you were fired for something at that place is a reference I think in some cases they can disclose why you were fired. I'm still surprised though the job would go so far as to lie about a failed drug test. That sounds kind of odd. Especially knowing that it could get them taken to court.
