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

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

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 was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Today, my employer fired me, less than a week before I could become permanent full-time staff. FML

Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML

Did it ever occur to you how it would look, canceling your first day at work?

If it wasn't too serious, you should of rescheduled the doctors appointment.

Yeah that's usually a big no no. Sorry but that's how it is. Totally sucks though

You probably should have rescheduled it depending on how serious the appointment. They completely overreacted though and you may have dodged a bullet.

How did the Employer overreact?!?!?!?! They took the time to interview OP and decided to hire them and the DAY that OP is to start, they call in because OP didn't have the common sense to reschedule a Dr's appointment. Honesty it is more of the Employer and their Company have dodged a Bullet.... BIG TIME!!!

It's irresponsible AND stupid (they tend to go hand-in-hand, but still). Unless it was a dire emergency, the doctor's appointment could have been scheduled for a more convenient day. If anything, OP could have communicated everything to his/her boss *while* at work. Seriously faulty logic is at work here.

Not the smartest idea. Thought that'd it'd be common sense to just change the appointment day. Guess not. YDI all the way.

Always!...ALWAYS cancel the doctor appointment...

Why couldn't you just change your doctors appointment? Yeah you might've been charged a fee but at least you'd have a job.

Just how important was this doctor's appointment? Especially that you didn't tell work about it in advance.

You reschedule the doctor, OP. YDI.
