Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML
Today, my extremely lazy colleague received a promotion with benefits, while I was fired for "not being a team-player". I had stayed quiet about her constant negative behaviour because my supervisor had said we needed to "have each other's backs". While I was protecting hers, she put a knife in mine. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, it was my first day as a promoted manager. I got fired for being late. FML
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's BS. Abusing your power? If anything you were doing good with it. Having a guy that childish and with those kind of anger problems is not what they need. I hope you explained and I hope they're smart enough to hire someone like you back. & along with hiring you back they should get you a bundle of fcking roses and take you for a fabulous dinner for even questioning their decision in promoting you. Just sayin.

Holy shit balls! Sounds like a crazy place. Lay a complaint with the police for the assault and then lay a complaint with employment tribunal. **** them all back up!

Take a picture of the mark, file a complaint, go to HR.

Do you have natural justice rules in employee management in the UK? I.e. Where you have to tell them they are facing termination, provide their story, reasons why they think they shouldn't be fired, a consideration of their prior conduct (recorded conduct & only things that have been discussed w the employee) and then a decision by an unbiased party? Unless your company had less than 15 employees, in Australia that would be a potentially unfair dismissal if you didn't follow process. Even if it was also declared a valid decision. Hope you find a better job soon.

Sounds like you had logical reasons for firing them, violence in the work place should not ever be tolerated, especially for that stupid of a reason

Was anyone there to witness the incident?

if that's their sole reason for firing you, sue

Appeal on the grounds of unfair dismissal. Also, if your workplace has CCTV, get a copy of the incident as evidence.

Did you take the right steps in firing him?

I would have filed two sets of charges
