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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, after a month at my new job, my boss fired me because I didn't have enough experience. She hired me with full knowledge of this fact. FML
Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML
Today, after spending 5 years working towards my dream job, getting it, and while in training telling a risqué joke, I got suspended the next day, lost the job, and I'm now in a shitty admin job. FML
Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML
Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML

What a vile bitch. Gather as much evidence as possible and take this shit straight to the higher ups.

This surpasses shitty, it's vicious. I agree with #2, gather evidence and sue them for workplace sabotage, those scum deserve the worst punishment they can get.

Most company handbooks have a clause in there to protect you from things like that. Go through your copy, get a lawyer. See what your options are.

She's entitled to get her job back when she returns from mat leave anyway. This doesn't make sense

I'm curious, but what kind of evidence could OP get that would really be passable with the higher ups? I'm sure it won't be easy, as no one is gonna admit anything easily.

She will get her just desserts. They all will. What a nasty group of people. I hope you find a better job real soon

You should have some ground to gain back...I mean if everyone knew it seems like someone would rat her out

I realized this about 4 weeks into the position and brought it up to my direct manager. I have no proof other than my notes I took when she trained me. The girl who trained me has been there for 8years and everyone is in love with her. HR is also her best friend and does not believe me. The CFO is her close family friend. I was told "it's just not working out". When I was gathering my belongings I heard her and my coworkers whispering about it in the office next to mine. That's how I really learned about exactly what happened.

So you're the OP? Sucks that no one believed you. HR is supposed to protect the company, not help pull crap like this. All you can really do is write a review warning others of this company and tell your family and friends to not bother with them. They acted like the vindictive high schoolers from TV, not adults. Not professional in the slightest.

Yea I'm OP, I'm just processing all of it still. I've never been fired before. Not a great feeling. And I'm still trying to get experience in my field and this job was supposed to be my starting point. Doesn't look great getting fired only after 2 months. BLEKH!

It's sad that the maternity leave in the US is so bad that a new mother feels she has to do this to keep her job. Most companies offer no paid leave and not all have to fallow FMLA
