Today, I got fired from my part-time job, because I insisted on keeping my phone in my pocket and never using it, instead of putting it in locker without a lock or security camera, that anyone can go through. The manager found out by searching my locker for the past 3 weeks. Ironic. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while working at McDonald's, I was pulled into the manager's office and informed that I'd been caught stealing money from the safe. When I told them to show me the security footage, they refused and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because I closed the store 84 seconds early. They found out because the state manager was sitting across the street with binoculars watching me. FML
Today, I went into work. After three years of working 55 hours a week, they fired me by putting the contents of my locker at the front door, with a note that said "If not picked up by 10:00 am stuff will be donated." I work the night shift. I just lost three sweaters, two pairs of shoes, $60, and my job. FML
Today, I got fired from a job that I've had for four days for being too "secretive." Apparently, I was leaning over my notebook so that my boss couldn't stand behind me and read what I was writing. The email literally said I was "being too sneaky". They were work notes. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't stop looking at my phone while working. I work in the back room, and there is no clock in there. I look at my phone to check the time. That way I know how long I have left in that hellhole. FML
Today, I worked my job then went home to enjoy my weekend. An hour later, I was called and told I was fired, without any reason given. I can’t even empty my locker, as they'd said they would mail my things to me. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML

But how can they fire you for having your phone with you? Isn't there also a law or something that says work places must have a secure (locked), clean place for personal belongings? Damn, fyl op

It's not always. It depends on where he works. If he works at a medical facility he can't have his phone in his pockets because he could photograph medical records.

Keep it in your trunk... There are rules for a reason.

for all the people talking about unfair dismissal and sueing, OP doesn't say what state they're in, but a lot of states employers can fire people for any reason that doesn't have to do with a protected class. employees rights have been eroded over the years along with union powers

Why didn't you just leave it in your car or at home? they can't punish you for "not having" a cell phone on the property at all.

I worked in a Corporate Loss Prevention/Operations Management position for 4 years. Unfortunately there is no law concerning lockers and security requirements with regards to personal items. The messed up thing is that from a "Loss Prevention" standpoint, Managers/Supervisors are required to do locker checks on a daily basis and if a locker has no lock, they are allowed to open it without asking permission from any company employees. Essentially leaving your goods there for the taking. The only thing to do in this case is keep your phone in your car at that time.

That can't fire you for that. Legally that is. I'd say file a lawsuit or at least threaten one
