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 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

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.

Im still trying to figure out your logic. You cant just tell work when youre going to be starting and expect them to be okay with it. Calling out your first day makes you look like you dont care. If i was your boss i would have fired you too. Good luck finding another job and maybe learn something from this.

Did anyone stop to think that maybe it was one of those appointments that wasn't able to be rescheduled? Those ARE a thing. Although, it may be better to miss the appointment if it was for something less important... You gotta try to make that good first-day-impression.

You might be able to sue them for wrongful termination.

?? It was literally OPs fault? You don't ******* do that. The boss has every right to terminate them.

It is better to pay the fee for a missed appointment (if your doctor has that policy) than to miss your first day of work. If your appointment was that important, you would have remembered and told your employer beforehand.

Unless the appointment was for something life threatening, you should have NOT called off your FIRST day. I mean, come on, that is common sense. YDI 100%
