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!

Sounds like there might be a reason for this.

Sue them! Unless they have valid grounds, but somehow i suspect they don't

So... What did you do?

Everyone keeps saying it's illegal and to sue (which it probably isn't and suing to lose is expensive) and we don't even know what OP did to get fired the first time. If OP was hurting the company or doing something like stealing, he deserves to be refired. You just never know.

the only time it is illegal to fire someone are for race/religion/national origin...etc. and as retaliation for certain types of complaints (sexual harassment OSHA violations etc..)

You say OSHA as if this happened in the USA, but it didn't.

Can you sue for discrimination?

#55, when you are good at your job, all firings are personal. The disgusting thing is that you have no due process to tell your side of the story and why the boss is being an ass.
