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 boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I got fired for failing a drug test for weed. My boss is the one who sells me weed. 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.

I'm fairly certain that's illegal to a degree

What the ****? You should report your boss immediately if you haven't done that already. He should get what he deserves.

What a spiteful asshole! Hopefully you can call the other job and explain what happened. Hopefully they'll allow you to clear your name by taking a drug test! Sorry this happened op!

This is a clear case of defamation of character or slander. It is illegal and you can sue for it. If I were you I would insist that your prospective employer reconsider you for the position and request a drug test be given and then sue the shit out of your former boss, right after you take a dump on the hood of his car. I would go the extra mile and smear it on his wind shield so it is that much more of a pain in the ass. Just my 2 cents.

Never point out the competitor. Just mention that they exist.

Be happy by knowing that there is a special place in hell for people like him... a place where you get raped in the rear end by cacti, every day, for the rest of eternity... Also, seek legal action against him. I know we shouldn't sue for everything, but this guy is damaging your image and ruining your work chances, and that is just an abomination of an action...

Aaaannnd this is when you sue your former employer for defamation of character and slander. Take 'em down OP. You deserve the raise just for having to deal with such an asshole like that. If he's that petty I'm sure this isn't the first bs he's tried to pull.

I think that rightfully falls under libel/slander.
