Today, I was fired from my catering job for pointing out the unsafe food conditions. I'm studying food safety in college. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired from the restaurant I work at because I missed my shift. I missed it because I was in the hospital for food poisoning from the meal I ate at work last night. FML
Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML
Today, after 8 months of being belittled and treated like trash at my job as a prep cook in a high-end kitchen, I stood up for myself to the line cooks. Not only did everyone laugh at me, I got fired for causing a scene during service and insubordination. FML
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
Today, I was out having a nice dinner to celebrate being hired for a job I was really excited for after two places didn't work out in a year. In the middle of dinner, I got an email from the director informing me that the school has to close due to lead levels in the building. FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, I was preparing a customer's meal in my restaurant's kitchen, when I choked on my own saliva and went into a coughing fit. The head chef, who's always hated my guts, accused me of trying to hock a loogie into the meal and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I was training for my new job at a restaurant. As part of training, they give you free food so you know what to recommend, and the dish I got was really good. Eight hours later I saw it again while I was puking. I got food poisoning from my own workplace. FML
Today, at my dining job, my boss told me the food was "technically illegal to serve," air quotes and all. FML
Today, I got fired from my job as a seafood manager because an entire wedding group came in and started yelling at me, saying the shrimp was horrible and I ruined their wedding. They showed me the leftovers; they never cooked them. They fed raw shrimp at a wedding dinner party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look on the bright side. If you get a job at the FDA you can close down that shitty company...

I'm not sure what the regulations and departments are in Ireland, but I'm sure there is someone you can report them to.

Become a food safety inspector and nail their asses. Of course this could take a few years, but they say revenge is a dish best served cold. But you'd better be sure that it is colder than 40F, or you will get a fine, too!

FYL because really, that sucks losing your job. Seriously though - I would recommend avoiding the food service industry. Show me restaurant that would pass a health department inspection with a perfect score and I'll show you a restaurant that opened yesterday.

The OP lives in Ireland. OP: First, what can I say, you shouldn't be downtalking your superiors, they're the ones who pay you, you should just be happy. I don't think a person who works in a cigarette company would say to their boss "Our product kills millions of people per year." Also... Studying food safety in college... Wow, way to waste a life. Btw, the first sentence has nothing to do with the next, maybe you should study English.

if you are in the US there are laws to protect you. i believe its the whistleblower law and you should sue even if you aren't in the US because this is wrong

If you were fired just for pointing it out give bord bia a call I think they could look into the food conditions.
