Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.

The only way they could have found out that you were looking for another job is if you A) mentioned it or B) used your current boss as a reference. In either case, you're an idiot.

Why do bosses try to act like they're your girlfriend? "*sobs* If you can't stay commited to this relationship, then we're through!" So what if OP was looking for another job? Instead of being a bitch and firing OP, they should be looking for new employees to prepare for when OP leaves. FYL.

64 - 47 is saying they DO hire for retention, and get mad when employees look at other companies.

If the job is unionized, you can't hire for a job that doesn't exist yet, there has to be a vacancy

YDI. You can't let the company you work for know that you are looking elsewhere.

I don't think they're allowed to fire you for looking at other jobs. FYL.
