Today, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I called in sick for the first time. My boss said that if I didn’t show up, not only would he fire me, but he’d make sure I never find another job for the rest of my life. So I showed up to work with a bucket, puking every five minutes. My boss still made me stay the full nine hours. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today I was home sick from work because my doctor gave me a new pill that made me throw up violently. My boss called. I thought she was checking on me. She fired me instead. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, a reliable source informed me that my suspicions that I would soon be fired were wrong. Instead, my boss plans to make my life miserable until I quit. FML

Too bad in most states it's borderline illegal to fire someone that way. Look at your company handbook. If it's a small owned business ur ****** tho.

OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration. What will that do in this case?

I suspect that they meant the Better Business Bureau

Occupational safety and health administration aka OSHA enforces health and safety at your workplace. They don't handle this type of problems.

no you call them on all the violations in the workplace, the stupid little shit that is in every workplace, then OSHA shows up and does inspections and makes life hell for the employer for a while until all the violations are corrected.

I'm fairly sure he cannot do that, ask a lawyer about a lawsuit?

Yeah! Sue sue sue! Or just look for another job. Any establishment which the management carries themselves in that manner and terminates employees via misspelled text message doesn't sound like any place worth working for. Look for a job with a literate boss.

Apparently he was so excited that he lost his ability to write like a normal human being!

Why would you want to work for a boss that hates you? Being fired by asshole bosses have been some of the best days of my life. Things always got better after I stopped working for douchebags. This is actually a good day for you.

Seriously though OP - sue him! Keep the text message AND records that you were sick so he can't claim you just "didnt show up"
