Work and Transportation: Today, I was fired for not having a reliable mode of transportation....

By Broken Leg, Broken Job - 10/05/2018 01:30

Today, I was fired for not having a reliable mode of transportation. I’ve only had to take the bus recently because three days ago, my boss’s son was messing around in the parking garage, lost control, and totaled my car. FML

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

Today, on my way to my job interview, the man who was supposed to be interviewing me slammed into my car because he wasn’t paying attention. He fired me for raising his insurance premiums. I got fired before getting the job. FML

Today, I helped save three people, including a newborn, when I was sole witness to a bad car crash. My boss said that wasn’t a valid reason to be 4 hours late for work and fired me. FML

Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML

Today, I dinged my boss's very expensive car. My car wasn’t damaged, so in a panic, I moved my car to another spot and said nothing. Less than an hour later, my boss showed me high definition security footage, so now I either cough up repair money I can’t afford, or I get fired. FML

Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML

Today, I was fired from the trucking company I work for, due to numerous complaints about my reckless driving. I don't even do driving work there, but my ex keeps calling in to report me, and my boss wanted the calls to stop. FML

Sue his son for property and collateral damages, including wage loss. Your ex boss will still be paying for your bills.

Mate, check out labor laws in your area. That ain't right, your ex-boss probably thought getting rid of you would make the problem go away. Don't go away silent. :)

I don’t really know much about stuff like this, but if you have proof that the reason you got fired was indirectly because of your boss, you can just sue them

I agree lawsuit is a good idea, but get a good lawyer. Some of those guy will take advantage of you and will take half on your award and charge a fee on top. Be careful.

I knew it. The son wasn't mentally old enough to drive and was making "Vroom! Vroom!" noises while attempting to do so!

If you can't sue the company for wrongful termination because of right to work or other state laws, make sure to sue the son for everything he's worth. Damage to property & now take on loss if wages as well as mental distress this caused for being fired by his dad or mom. Either way, make sure your ex-boss pays dearly for this. Don't want to be around when their karma is balanced, that's for sure.
