Today, the company I was fired from three years ago merged with the company I work at now. The new owners' first order of business was to fire me again. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was informed that the company I work for has been taken over by the previous company I worked for. I left that company with a burn-out, after years of 60-75 hour weeks, so I'll soon be working for them again in the exact same department I so happily left behind last year. FML
Today, the company I work for is now under new ownership. Somehow, this set off a series of events that resulted in the best boss I've ever had being effectively fired. I'm badly disabled, and she was the only thing stopping me from experiencing rampant ableism at work. I may be jobless again very soon. FML
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, after nearly eight months of unemployment, I started a great new job. After seven and a half hours of work, my new boss comes up to tell me what a great job I was doing, but that he somehow forgot to clear the new hire with the company owner, so I'm fired. Hello, unemployment... again. 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 thanked me for all my hard work and promised me a raise and a promotion. Shortly thereafter, she sent out a memo announcing she'd sold the company. The new owner immediately came in to "restructure." I got demoted. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. 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 old company merged with a new one. I was calling our old clients, and ended up speaking with a reporter who was investigating our company for fraud. I now have a meeting with the CEO tomorrow morning. I just started. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

now's the time to realize you're doing something wrong. reevaluate yourself and make some changes.

Your old boss probably bought your new company just for the pleasure of firing you.

He must've seriously pissed him off. Maybe OP slept with his new secretary before he did.

Depending on the reason you were let go this first time and based on seniority you acquired at the new job then you may have a case for discrimination. Check into their company guidelines and send an email to the higher ups. At least this may bring to someone's attention that mid level management needs a looking into. Good luck.

Is that legal?

Unfortunately, in some locations, it could be. I'd recommend that the OP find a lawyer to discuss future options.

I don't know where you're from but most places need a reason to fire you. If they just don't like you then just take them to court. I hate comments that say "sue sue sue!" But you need to protect yourself.

Maybe you're just too incompetent to work in that field.

That is a point, OP may have just been absolutely shit at his job, even though it said he hadn't worked at his old company for three years dosnt mean he didnt have jobs in between
