Today, I was let go from my dream job. My manager said he couldn't keep me busy all day, and so he didn't need me. He still has a "Help Wanted" sign up. FML
MorlockWarlock tells us more.
Hey OP here. Thanks for all the supportive and helpful comments. To answer any questions though, I do live in Indiana which is a right to work state so I'm not going to get anywhere with that. My ex manager had just hired in to the company about 2 weeks before. I definitely got the feeling that he didn't like me much so it was probably a personal vendetta for him. It's not like I was working to fast either. I was working for a Ford dealership as a line mechanic. I was on company book time. I'm not worried about it now though. It was probably for the best. Thank again though

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds like a bullshit reason to fire you. Hopefully you can find a new job in the same field.

This might be a dumb question, but what's a right to work state?

Not sure, must be a US only thing

I'm not American, but I think it basically means you have no real employment rights as an employee and you can be fired for any or no reason at your employer's will.

That's exactly right. An employer can fire you for any reason, at any time. They don't have to show proof of anything. It's an awful awful system and I'm really not sure why we do it.

It makes it easier to get out of s job and limit your liability as an employee. It also makes it so that you don't have to hand in a notice and risk getting ****** by an angry boss

Actually, "right to work" has to do with unions and fees (like an employer can't force to join a union if you don't want to or pay the union fees if you don't join it, for example). I believe OP means "at will" which allows for employers to fire you at any time and they don't need to have just cause/a reason/tell you why, provided the reasons have nothing to do with any type of discrimination. Additionally, "at will" works for the employees, too, as the employee can also leave their workplace and not legally give two weeks notice, though, if you want a good reference, two weeks should be given. Hope this link helps clear it up! :) http://www.thehrgroupinc.net/about/newsletter-articles/at-will-vs-right-to-work/
