Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

They fired you, so you're entitled to unemployment benefits, when you are actively job searching and meet the other conditions. I suggest taking at least a few days of rest before you start the filing for unemployment and job search process. I also suggest going to HR and reporting that he made you come to work on a vacation day, in order to fire you. If they're paid vacation days or you are given so many a year, and your vacation would have fallen in that allowance, it sounds like he's trying

<p>The exact same thing happened to me several years ago.&nbsp; Got called in, then got called into the bosses office and got laid-off.&nbsp; He claimed the company was losing too much each quarter and had to cut back staff.&nbsp; He was telling me this as his brand-new Mercedes sat right outside his office window.&nbsp; Sorry you're out of work, but you're probably better off than to continue to work for a prick like your boss showed to be.&nbsp; Good luck OP</p>

You can be fired for any reason now a days no reason for the poster to waste what money they have on trying to get your job back. Also I don't thank it's a good idea to sue your job if you are trying to get your job back. They will just treat you like crap and do whatever to make you quit.

What's up with bosses doing this? It happened to me as well. Got a call on my day off asking to come in, I paid for parking (it was downtown in a city) and was laid off when I got in. Oh, they also lied so I couldn't get unemployment when the people called about it. What assholes.

But yeah. Employers see us as shitposts nowadays, and will fire everyone if they begin to not be able to afford car payments

Maybe they wanted to tell OP as soon as possible so they could start looking for a new job asap. It might have been weeks before OP was due back from vacation and they could get a new job in that time.
