Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Late stage capitalism
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. 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

YOLO
Today, I was offered my dream job. When I gave my current employer my 2+ weeks notice so they'd have time to find a replacement, I was told to pack up and leave immediately. Now I'm out a month's pay because I gave notice instead of just leaving. FML

Decisions, decisions
Today, my marriage is one week away. Despite all the challenges we faced during COVID, we powered through everything. Today is also the day my work decided to tell me they're letting me go. I now have to either go on my improvised honeymoon or job hunt. FML

Memory error
Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML

Are they allowed to do that? I thought jobs had to give you notice.

why would they give you notice you were being let go...first off they have 90 days to decide if you are worthy of keeping

Companies don't give advance notice when they're going to fire you.

This happens more often than people think. Happened to my wife (we even invited her boss to the wedding) and a coworker of mine. Sorry, OP, but remember... for better or worse, 'til death do you part!

I want to hear the other side to this story. A company doesn't let you go for no reason. (Unless they're going bankrupt)

I'm not sure if the rules are different in the States than in Canada, but over here if it's within 3 months (the probationary period), they are able to fire you without notice or reason. If they fire you beyond that, they need a reason. And to the people saying "why would they give you notice if they were firing you", maybe OP has only ever been laid off before, in which case, employers will often try and give their employees some notice.

They can't do that

This is what happens when you live in a Right to Work State. Yes, it sucks, hugely, but most people overlook the "fine print" that states you can walk away from a job OR they can fire you WITHOUT prior notice. The two weeks notice given to employers is out of courtesy and so we don't look bad when we move on to find a new job. They don't have to give a reason or give notice if they want to fire you.

If it was within three months they're allowed to do that. They don't need a reason, and they don't need to give you any notice. I do realize you said AFTER three months, but that could have meant either nearly three months or over three months. But anyway, I'm sorry to hear about that. That truly sucks!

Jobs give you a notice for letting you go??? Must be 9 to 5 jobs.
