Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML

Today, I was fired. Last week, I was written up because I came in one minute late from lunch break. The week before, I was yelled at for yawning. I found out it was all a plan for my boss’s favorite employee to get promoted to my position, so they wanted a reason to terminate me. I work in an “at will” state. FML

Make your mind up
Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML

Employee if the month is just a 'carrot on a stick' for people who work at places like McDonalds and other low pay employers. It's supposed to get you to work harder without giving you any extra pay, bonuses or other benefits. Once you get a little work and life experience you'll see it for the insult to your intelligence that it is. Companies that really want to reward hard work will offer something better than your picture on the wall.

that sucks but if you can get employee of the month, finding a new job can't be that hard right? :) (trying to be positive)

That makes little sense. If you went above and beyond to be employee of the month, you'd think they'd allow some leeway. And it sounds like you're not normally late... Or you'd hope you wouldn't be employee of the month.

I really think being late it a really good reason to fire someone, unless it happens all the time. From the sound of it, that's not the case.
