Today I was fired from my job. They fired me because they couldn't work around my college schedule. The only reason they hired me was because they were looking for college students and without a job I can't go back to school. FML

You deserve it for studying that. Food safety is taught in college?! Food goes bad when left out for a while. End of lesson.

Why would he want it it they're being jerks about it. If anything sue for unjust termination and have them compensate for loss of wages.

I think your boss needs to be drug tested. Even if you weren't studying food safety in college it's still good to point out something unsafe in the food. Normally you'd be fired for not saying anything

Today, I arrived at work to find a bullet hole in the window of the storefront we're leasing. Security assured me it had always been there and the glass shards on the floor had somehow been missed in my many vacuum passes and the pre-lease inspection two months ago, so no need to worry or fix it.
