Today, my sister got me in deep trouble at the store I worked security for. She "dropped by to say hi" and stole a bunch of things when I wasn't looking. I wasn't arrested, due to lack of any evidence. But my boss didn't care about evidence and fired me anyway. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Snitched
Today, I caught a grubby, evil-smelling, foul-mouthed woman blatantly shoplifting by stuffing electronics into her coat pockets, so I detained her and called the police. Less than an hour later I was fired. She was the shop owner's mother and “had permission” to just take stuff. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I caught a customer taking pictures up my skirt, and my boss fired me for calling the police and "making a big deal out of it". FML
Lying liars
Today, while working at McDonald's, I was pulled into the manager's office and informed that I'd been caught stealing money from the safe. When I told them to show me the security footage, they refused and fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my boss sent me home from work because she saw me not checking under my customer's cart to see if they had any hidden groceries. I didn't check because the customer threatened to "kick my ass" if I "accused him of stealing" by checking. FML
Stop doing this
Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML
OK Shaggy
Today, I was fired from my job at a local family-ran restaurant. The Reason? The owner's daughter has been stealing money from the register little by little and has blamed me for all the lost money. The boss is still convinced it's me, though, because his daughter would "never tell a lie". FML
J'accuse !
Today, I was shopping at a store from which I had previously bought a shirt. The clerk accused me of trying to steal my own shirt and called security. They examined it and argued with me for so long I was late to work. FML
FREAKOUT!
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, I got fired from my job for stopping a shoplifter. Where's the logic? FML
Unfair dismissal
Today, while working at the store, a lady grabbed a bunch of T-shirts and started talking on the phone. She then walked out the store with them. I ran after her, and she sprays me with mace telling me to not interrupt her while on the phone. My eyes burned for hours. Oh, and I was fired because of the huge loss. FML

What are the cops going to do if there's no evidence?
bheaze 20
There was no evidence that HE stole anything. Should we have all th items she stole
bheaze 20
She would**
mds9986 24
They would need a search warrant. To get one the police would need to prove to a judge that the items are there and the person has committed the crime. With no evidence other than heresay from OP, it's not likely to happen.
bheaze 20
Along with testimony from the brother he could get the items from her himself and say "my sister was the one who stole all the items, here they are" You're thinking way too much into this.
mds9986 24
So you show up red handed with stolen items and just say they were stolen by someone else with no proof? Yeah, no. OPs best bet is to cut his sister out of his life and not try to get some sort of revenge. Her lifestyle will catch up to her on its own.

You over simplified what I meant in the quotation marks, I can't be bothered to type out a whole scenario for a hypothetical situation that will probably never happen just to try and prove you wrong. I think there is a lot more he can do than just roll over and let his sister get away with it. Plus cutting your sister out of you life is a lot harder said than done. Agree to disagree Xx

*Hypothetical Situation* 'Imagine you have a sibling and they get you fired in the same manner. You would take legal action.' Is that what I'm reading or are you not being clear enough?

Why not both? *queue music*

Take it up with HR OP, that wasn't fair
the_real_dvd 21
Technically, it is fair. He works security. He didn't keep the place secure. He's got an awful sister, but he also failed at the job he was paid to do.

100% fair. Shitty. But fair

File for unemployment. Even in a right to work state, employers almost always have to have a paper trail and proper reasoning for firing someone, except for in cases of gross negligence. That's why people get write ups and so on. Make them pay for firing you.
elcee1987 18
This situation sounds like gross negligence though

haha sure, on paper they have to. My company owed me over $1000 in back-pay and safety equipment i'd bought myself and was told I'd be reimbursed for. When I brought it up with my project manaager he claimed they were up to date on pay roll, that he never told me I would be reimbursed and that I never gave him the receipts that I most certainly did hand to him in person. Small company, so I went to the owner and then back to the project manager. 3 days later, with no warning my project manager fired me, over the phone no less, and to top it off he refused to give me a reason why other than "it's just not working out." When I went in to talk to the owner the next day he said the reason was the project manager didn't like my attitude. Talked to the manager on the way out and he said it's cuz i was always late (never a day late at this company) and when unemployment was denied (after the owner said he would put it down as a lay off since this was 3 weeks before christmas with 2 kids) the reason listed was excessive cell phone use on the job. I never carried my phone on the job until my manager told me to because i did a lot of weekend work and he needed to be able to talk to me. The only phone call I ever took on the job was from him. Short story long: companies can do whatever the hell they want.

They could just say that they fired OP because they completely failed at their job as a security guard, which would be a completely valid reason. Also, I think Louisiana is at will employment, they don't need a reason to fire someone.

FML for sure, but at the same time it's good to be rid of that toxic excuse for employment. Shitty way to go but glad to move on from it.

I'm not saying that you should disown your sister but it's obvious she not straight in the head and need to be taught a valuable lesson.

I smell revenge.
anonymous198913 26
You should have a talk with your sister to see if she'll return them, and then have her apologize to your old boss for wasting their time. It might get you your job back, especially since it wasn't your fault in the first place.
TheyCallMeDamien 18
That'll make it worse. They'll simply use it as evidence against you.

Kill her
swanheart 35
To be fair to your boss, maybe he didn't fire you because you were related to the shoplifter but because you let Someone shoplift a bunch of stuff right under your nose which is kinda the opposite of a security guards job?
Miss_Whipped 43
You have a very valid point.
Lizza330 28
But who would expect their sister to steal from a store you're working at? Unless she has a history of shoplifting of course.
DoomedGemini 38
They might not even know op's sister is the thief. It's like this: things got stolen under a security guards watch. I get the feeling the loss was big. Do you fire the security guard? Logic points to yes. It really sucks for op, I wouldn't say they deserve it because, as you said, why would they expect the sister to steal? But I can't exactly blame the boss for firing them.

Report her to the cops, she needs to learn somehow
