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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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

Never stay where you're not wanted. Unless your higher up the chain suing is stupid and you probably don't have the money to lose. That's if you can even find a lawyer to take it on. It was probably something as small as a personality conflict or differences in work style. They usually add the phrase "Its not a good fit". It's their way of trying not to hurt your feelings. It makes me wonder how long you've worked there usually that's done during a probationary period. It's their chance of trying you out and if you "fit" their business.in a probationary. Often they can let you go for more vague reasons. It sucks and it's certainly not fair but if you try to stick it out or force them to keep you They will only make you miserable. Consider it a fresh start for a better job that will want you and you can be happier and advance. Good luck

If thats the case, they must pay you redunancy and give you a referance. also, it would be classed as let go, not fired. its illegal to fire someone with no reason.

Sounds like your job broke up with you. Always hate those words " it was not working out"

That happened to me back in '09. I couldn't do anything about it. It was a law school and they were all freaking lawyers. Not my favorite profession to begin with and that did nothing to improve my opinion. Eventually it all worked out and I've got the best job in the world. Hang in there.

Do you work in the USA? Have you been at your job longer than 90 days? They may have illegally fired you.

Got fired because I had to give notice at my last job. Finished at Job A, and the next day was my first day at Job B. Showed up only to find out I wasn't on the payroll because of the notice period Job A required. What I want to know is, why did they hire me in the first place?
