A termination in this kind of circumstance generally only happens if the boss is a complete and total misanthrope (not likely) or if you have a spotty record of dependability and this was the final "straw" (most likely).

Yeah, OP is obviously a horrible employee (and a whiner to boot). Bosses only do this to people they are waiting for an excuse to fire.

Quit feeling sorry for yourself, a girl from my hometown was killed in a car accident yesterday. Yeah, suck on that dipstick.

Yep. an employer likely wouldn't do that if there wasn't a past history.

I agree fight it!

Did it hurt when you're knee grow?

hahaha!!! I see what you did there.

funny may

yes because sueing fixes everything... you are stupid. you would not win a lawsuit for being fired.

suing doesnt fix things but..CAAMOON!! easy money ;)

@121: it's called wrongful termination and OP definitely has grounds to sue

Not always true, I had a serious heart problem and went to hospital. My boss said the same thing, I didn't slack off at all, she was just a bitch.

it's unfair and charges could be pressed

what's electricity got to do with it?

well good luck with that. just about all states an employer can fire you for whatever they like. they just aren't suppose to discriminate with sex, race, and other related issues. even then it's hard to prove, cause your word against theirs.

Well, #43, In that case your boss was just a jerk. This makes me angry people would do that.

a dummy calling a dummy a dummy. hmm..

hmm, get a new car with no job and run over your boss? this is probably one of the stupidest statements I've read besides people whom ghetto type and spell, dummy ha

Hmm maybe the accident was not his fault.

either way she should not have wrecked

you're so sexy... just sayin

that was for adorlee

I was totally thinking that. This is worded very poorly.

Was this modded since you both posted this? It appears pretty clear to me! Only change I would make would be to change "I got severe whiplash" to "which caused severe whiplash"...

i think he means 'not dependant' which translates to independant. i think he actually meant reliable though...
