Today, I got a call from my employers wanting to ask why I had a no call, no show for today. My supervisor reported me for not showing up to work. It's my day off, and also my birthday. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I had to work. My boss wished me a happy birthday, and then told me I was fired. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Today, I was promised that I wouldn't have to work late because I had tomorrow off for my birthday. My coworkers decided that none of them want to work late, and that I could do it. So I am stuck working late and have to come in on my birthday, which I had requested off. FML
Today, I got a call from the office telling me I was fired. When I asked why, my boss explained my mother called and told him I was in a "weak mental state." She thought she was helping me get off for my birthday. Now I have no job. FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, it’s my birthday. My boss treated me to a day off work, except my mother called at 12:01am drunk as hell screaming, “Happy birthday” down the phone. When I finally fell back asleep, I awoke to my boss asking me to come in after all. FML
Today, I was called to be told I'm fired for not showing up for my shift. I guess she didn't check her voice message to see that I gave birth last night. FML

"Why isn't Chris here? Oh, right, it's his day off." "Who's Chris again?" "You know, 29-year-old, short hair, glasses…" "I just checked the employee roster, and the only Chris is 30." "Oh, I must've been confused. Call him and tell him to get his ass in here!"

Happy birthday

NCNS for a single day is not an issue unless you stood up some clients. Forget about day off, even if it wasn't your birthday you would have got it as emergency leave/special day leave where prior intimation is not necessary.

That is not always true. I've worked three different jobs where a No Call, No Show was considered grounds for immediate termination unless you could show paperwork that said you were like unconscious in the hospital or something during the time you were missing. I've never been the type to no call, no show so it has never effected me but I know a couple of people who lost their jobs for doing it. A couple others jobs I worked would write you up the first time it happened but fire you if it happened a second time. It just depends on where you work.

That sucks. I once missed an entire weekend of work because when I went to go check the schedule there was a manager meeting with the owners they all saw me come to the door they all knew I was there they acknolwedged me wouldn't let me come in checked the schedule for me and said "You don't work this weekend" I spent the weekend hanging out with some friends got home to find messages asking why I hadn't come in. Called in spoke to the store manaager who read the schedule wrong "Yeah I remember that's totally my bad so we will only only count one of the two days as an occurence" Which had me like "Wait wtf how about no occurence seeing as you just admittted you told me not to come in" but I was young and inexperienced said nothing and when I was sick a few days later and called in sick well before my shift was fired. I also didn't know about FMLA at the time.
