Today, I got into a bad car accident, where I got severe whiplash, swollen knees, and cuts everywhere. I called my boss to let him know I wouldn't be able to make it in and he fired me for being 'not dependable'. FML

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.

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

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

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

I'm guessing this isn't the first time you have missed work if your boss fired you for that.

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.

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.

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...
