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

In those situations, you have to think why your boss wanted to fire you so bad anyway. I'm sure she was just making excuse to get rid of you. I don't know if it's your fault or your boss'es.

There could be more to this story. In many workplaces, employees are reminded of upcoming meetings by e-mail. At the same time, "I didn't get the e-mail" is rarely a sufficient explanation for failing to meet your professional responsibilities. The employer in this case may be responding to the employee's lack of initiative and interpersonal skills. This may be a workplace in which sitting back passively and waiting to be spoonfed information and direction via e-mail is not sufficient. The employee's failure to be on top of things, to confirm appointments and meetings with colleagues, and so on, may be part of the problem. The employer may feel that the employee's failure to notice she was not included in key communications for several weeks demonstrates a lack of concern or interest. If she misses meetings by failing to be proactive, what else will she miss in the course of her duties? I don't know exactly what industry is involved here, or how this workplace functions, but I do think there may be more to it than we have heard.

@43 - yeaaah... btw, its pretty clear that OP's boss just didn't like her and wanted an excuse to have her gone. i guess the boss gets points for devising this plan. regardless, its pretty weak. refer back to #43...

If what you are saying is correct, that was wrong of her. Here, in Norway, they can't fire you just like that. They just can't, you'd easily get your job back. And, honestly, you should sue.

Norwegian employment laws in a nutshell: 1) All companies are required to sign each employee to a contract. 2) If a company wants to terminate an employee, 1-3 months of salary must be given. 3) If the employee challenges the termination, the company has to, by law, keep that employee on the payroll until the courts rule whether the termination is fair or unfair. Sometimes taking 2-3 years. 4) Because of the slow justice system, many contracts have 3+ month salary payments to those they are terminating as agreements for termination. 5) Poor performance and work misconducts are not suitable termination reasons. (Yeah...you read correctly) Norwegian employees are spoiled. "They just can't" is only applicable in Norway my friend.

You'll probably be happier now that you can find a job that doesn't involve working for an awful boss like this one. Good Luck!
