Today, I got fired from my job. My boss is my brother. His reason being that, "it would create awkward tension between us." I've been working for him for 5 years, and it's like he's only just realised that I was there. FML

Today, I found out that the reason I'm working as a kitchen staff instead of out on the floor of the café is because the boss does not think I'm attractive enough. My boss is my brother. FML

Today, I got fired from my job at a small start-up company. Why? The CEO wanted to give a job to one of his former fraternity brothers who is out of work, and they couldn't afford to keep us both. FML

Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". 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

No joke. If you are married I would keep am eye out. Something else has either caused awkwardness or you do something to piss him off...

Family can't do that to you. I'd keep going to work. Fire at will is such bs I would claim it's due to something like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. Anything that is NOT covered by at will. Something you can challenge in court. When someone fires you with a non valid reason or answer, fight it. That's your livelihood.

That is 1. Horribly illegal 2. Even if he was fired for any of the reasons you suggest he would need some kind of record either paper, email or video that was the case. 3. Lying in court is a crime and wuld not go well with out something to back up his claims. Filing a lawsuit can be exspensive doing so without a job bad filing a false claim is insan.
