Today, I got fired from my childcare job of five years because the other staff weren't as popular with the kids, so they accused me of being "creepy" because the kids all wanted to play a game with me instead of them. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was fired because a patron complained that she didn't like the way I kept staring at her kids. I was a lifeguard. FML
Today, I was fired from the babysitting job I've had for 2 years. I thought maybe the mother had found out that I sometimes let her kids stay up late and have extra sweets. The real reason, as she told me, was that she didn't want her kids loving anyone more than they love her. FML
Today, I got fired from a great babysitting job because the little girl said I was boring. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML
Today, I was working at a local restaurant when another server's table called me over to ask if I've "ever killed anybody". They informed me I looked like a serial killer. I informed them, of course, that I have never killed anybody. Another customer claimed I scared her child. I was fired. FML
Today, I got fired from my job where you build teddy bears. I got fired not because I did anything wrong, just because they don't like my personality. I'd never worked with my boss, and that means all the employees that work there had a meeting about me, and all confirmed they don't like me. FML
Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML

Maybe they should look into why the kids don't like the other staff members....

What activities did your co-workers do compared to you? I'd find out why the kids don't like them.

Same thing happened to me at a babysitting job op. Kids liked me best but the parents liked the other nanny more. Sadly it's not what the kids want, but what the parents do.

What half of what story is this? Nobody gets fired from a job of five years "because so good at job".

Wtf! How can that be a legit reason to fire someone? 'Oh, they like you too much and you do your job too well, so we're gonna have to let you go.' What in the actual ****!

Shit like this is what makes me not want to go back to America. You're rewarded for being a piece of shit, and thrown under the bus for doing the right thing. This is interesting, because kids tend to be honest about their feelings (though they can't always explain them). It is for that same reason, however, that kids "like" their molesters, though. Of course, OP isn't one, but it's just how things are, apparently.

As a child care provider I understand where you are coming from. You make a report on licensing rand have them do an inspection. Idk how the law is in your state but in California it has some very strict standards.

And this is the part where you sue them for wrongful termination
