Today, I was promoted as an auditor at an insurance company. After finding 9 compliance violations and over $15,000 returned incorrectly, I reported them to my manager. She blamed me for all the mistakes and fired me. These mistakes happened two years before I was employed with the company. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got fired from my position as a financial investor for giving a client the exact investment he asked for, even though the investment was out of my mandate, and I had gone to my direct manager to authorize the investment. My manager was promoted. 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, it was my first day as a promoted manager. I got fired for being late. FML
Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, I got fired from the job I’ve been at for two and a half years, all over some bullshit charge I got 8 years ago. How did they find out? Background check for a promotion. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, on my way to my job interview, the man who was supposed to be interviewing me slammed into my car because he wasn’t paying attention. He fired me for raising his insurance premiums. I got fired before getting the job. FML
Today, I got written up at work over false accusations that I didn't do some safety tasks. The same tasks that were done before I had even arrived. FML

Sue. If you were fired for a problem dating from prior to your arrival then you should have a good case

It's obvious. She didn't expect you to be that good, or at least, she expected you to look for things you can help her slide on. When you demonstrated you weren't going to do that, she got rid of you before you could be a real problem for her.

time to call hr

Never call HR. They are merely thugs that shield upper management from liability by pretending to offer workers due process.

I disagree on calling HR. But do it with a clear plan. Copy upper level management up to the most senior people about your complaint. Then, indicate you want to see the problems of an illegal firing, money losses to the company, and compliance violations resolved. Working together with them (not the jerk who fired you) is what you seek. It needs to be fixed and better done in house rather than with lawyers and the regulating bodies.

I would agree on that, having worked in various companies whenever people got HR involved they would inform the managers and often make them, or at least encouraged them to , act in a more deplorable manner (strangely as they are supposed to be the experts on employment law etc, often in illegal manners).

Go over her head. It's possible she's trying to cover up her own ineptitude by firing you. You could end up with her job.

You didn't read your job description well enough. An internal auditor is supposed to turn a blind eye to the embezzlement, waste and fraud of their superiors. You gotta know how to "play ball."

Talk to an attorney. You may be protected by a whistleblower statute.

Go over the managers head and let them know all those issues happened before you got hired on.

There's totally labor laws against that I'd file a lawsuit against her for sure.

Well, sue for wrongful termination. Profit.

Sounds like they are committing some type of fraud and was upset you came across it 🤷🏻♀️
