Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was training for my new job at a restaurant. As part of training, they give you free food so you know what to recommend, and the dish I got was really good. Eight hours later I saw it again while I was puking. I got food poisoning from my own workplace. FML
Today, I didn't feel like cooking when I got home from work, so I decided to go to the local restaurant nearby and do my part in supporting small businesses. Long story short, I woke up later feeling like absolute shit. Hello, food poisoning. FML
Today, I got food poisoning from a restaurant that I had chosen for our company party. Everyone who went blamed me for their predicament. I also had to run to the toilet every ten minutes while they were all mad at me. FML

Today, the day before I was supposed to go back to work after I got sick, ended up in the hospital, and primary doctor put me on medical leave, I got fired. FML
Today, I have food poisoning. My boss told me that if I didn't come into work, I'd be fired. Not 30 minutes after sitting down, I sneezed and shat my pants. My boss still won't let me leave. FML
Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML
Today, without any warning from my body whatsoever, I had to go to the bathroom at work to puke. I was then fired for being ‘drunk’ at work. I wasn’t drunk, just sick. FML

sue them for illegal dismissal, they can't just fire you liket hat, they must ask for a doctors note before demising you. unless u work at some low profile shit restaurant... been there done that, solo not worth it.

its called at will employment. You can be fired for any reason, or even no reason at all as long as the termination isn't based on your sex, your religion, you marital status, ect.

well if your job was that important to you, you should of called in so they knew where you were. and if you were too sick to call, you should have had someone else do it. I, myself work at a restaurant as well...and your bosses don't care where you are, you have to call in. YDI

You may not have legal employment recourse, but food poisoning by a public restaurant is covered by the FDA (federal level). The ironic thing is that you can include job in your complaint. Actually, I think you have them by the short and curlies...

Again, that's hard to prove if no one else got sick.
