Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML

Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML

HR says no

Today, I lost my job. This was a surprise, as my performance hasn’t ever been an issue. My boss couldn’t look me in the eye while it happened, and the HR representative cut me off when I tried to ask why, informing me that they would only answer benefit-related questions. FML

Today, I had a meeting with HR that resulted in me being dismissed for poor performance. I was confused because up until that point, my line manager had said my performance was exemplary. Turns out it wasn't, and he didn't tell me because he didn't want me to be stressed. FML

Surprise!

Today, I returned to work after taking two days off to find I'd been fired. Why? For not being at work on those two days. Everything was agreed in writing, all trace of which has mysteriously vanished. I can't work until HR sorts it out, and nobody can tell me how long that'll take. FML

It's not you, OP, it's them. I hope you and the company can remain friends at least. However, they didn't deserve you and were probably employing other people behind your back.

This "just cause" situation in parts of the US makes no flipping sense to me to be honest. Were I live you can also be let go whenever the emplyer decides they don't need you anymore and I think that's their good right. Why should they be forced to keep an employee that doesn't work porperly just because they can't find a valid enough reason to fire him/her. Or why should they have to be afraid of getting sued everytime they let someone go. This is uper ridiculous? So I (as a normal employee myself) think that is a good thing. If I'm not working properly I deserve to be sacked. It's as simple as that. However if you are being let go you usually get a notice 2 month in advance and then you have certain rights. Like you get a couple of days off per month to go to job interviews and stuff. So I that's good as well.
