Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was supposed to start my new job. I had forgotten I had a doctor's appointment, so I called work early and told them I wouldn't be able to start until tomorrow. My boss then terminated my employment. I got fired before I even started. FML
Today, I was sitting in my car waiting my shift to start. I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to a call from my boss firing me. I was in the parking lot. 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

What a dick head! HR might have a thing for you to sort your matter.

Was your dream job becoming an auto mechanic? If you couldn't get your own car working, he probably made the right call.

If your position at that company was so replaceable where your boss could fire you without a second thought, then you dodged a bullet . Your talents were clearly not valued there, and you therefore had no leverage in keeping your position . Good luck OP.

Playing the devil's advocate... There are many companies that have high expectations for their employees. This boss does not know anything about the OP except that he passed the interview - but his actual work ethic has still yet to be proven. Therefore, of course OP was replaceable - the boss doesn't even know him/her! Perhaps to the boss, they were thinking that /they/ dodged a bullet. It's unfortunate, but no need to antagonize the boss.

For all you know, the position could have been for a line cook at Popeye's.

Sounds like your boss was an asshole. Sorry you missed out on the job, but hopefully you'll find one where your talents will be appreciated and your superiors more compassionate :)

<p>I agree, try and salvage with HR. Show any receipts related to any work done or parts bought for your car. Think about your boss too, maybe he was up to his eyeballs in bullshit and his immediate reaction was to destroy anything else that came his way. Dreams are worth saving, and from this point forward anything you do and say needs to be done with conviction in your word and confidence in your approach. BE GENUINE. BE ON POINT ALL POINTS AROUND. Goodluck OP, you've got this.</p>
