Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, I lost my job. This was a surprise, as my performance hasn’t ever been an issue. My boss couldn’t look me in the eye while it happened, and the HR representative cut me off when I tried to ask why, informing me that they would only answer benefit-related questions. FML
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, I had a meeting with HR that resulted in me being dismissed for poor performance. I was confused because up until that point, my line manager had said my performance was exemplary. Turns out it wasn't, and he didn't tell me because he didn't want me to be stressed. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. 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, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, I came in to work to hand in my resignation. The minute I walked in, my manager took me aside and said he wanted to talk to me in private. He then cancelled my position and fired me. FML

It's not you, OP, it's them. I hope you and the company can remain friends at least. However, they didn't deserve you and were probably employing other people behind your back.

You're better off without them, OP

The internet has taught me that this is what you say when you break-up because the sex was bad. So...what, did you not photocopy your butt well enough for them?

Congratulations on living in a work-for-hire state. Make sure they give you a good recommendation.

You're too good for them. They were probably going to merge with someone better.

Sorry OP. Hope you find one better.

Well hopefully they're willing to give you a reference if you were a good employee while you were with them, OP. It seems like the least they could do.

That happened to me, too. It's awful feeling screwed over without any closure. Pretty sketchy as well.

Sue the bastards for unlawful termination.

This is the opposite of unlawful termination. In fact, companies are advised by their lawyers not to give reason when firing someone because how many fraudulent unlawful termination suits are brought to court. So essentially, your "sue the bastards" attitude is why this bullshit exists.
