Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML

Today, I was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Today, I was fired for the second time in as many days. I received a letter notifying me that I would no longer be working for the company, effective immediately. When I did not attend work the next day, I received a phone call firing me for not turning up. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. FML
Today, I was suspended from my job for missing a team meeting that was planned during my lunch time. Needless to say, nobody had told me. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, I was fired for not completing the required computer training, which no one told me about. I was told that it's my responsibility to check it every week. It would have been nice if a single one of my supervisors had given me any indication whatsoever that this was the case. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML

Yeah, I live in one of those "no cause needed" states. =/ It sucks because if your boss doesn't like you they can fire you even if you're the hardest working worker there. I would file for unemployment because unless you've actually done something seriously wrong they can't deny you unemployment benefits.

I was fired from my daycare job for losing a kid. :o Problem was, it was the substitute that lost her. They didn't care though, I was still fired - she was too, of course. Bosses usually don't give a damn why they fire you - if they want you gone, they'll find a way.

As far as I'm concerned I never understand why I read about so many people on here getting fired from their jobs over nothing. There is such a thing as wrongful termination and if that happened to me I would definitely be filing that against my employer if that happened.

There is no such thing as a right to work state - only a right to fire you state. Plus, seeing as that the email was never entered into the system, it's possible the OP was still in the probationary period and it's even tougher to prove wrongful termination then. I was once promoted in a job after working a day, because they were going to fire another employee. Because they were trying to fire her for a disability, she threatened to sue. Meanwhile, they hired someone for my original position, so after only a month, I was fired. Because I was promoted into a job that didn't exist. They can do that.

does n e 1find it odd that the boss forgot to enter the email address in the "system"? Distribution lists are usually created via the it team not the clueless computer user of a boss.

Allow me to clarify; I didn't work in an office. I worked at an therapeutic equestrian center training new horses. There was no IT team.
