Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, I got fired from my job at a small start-up company. Why? The CEO wanted to give a job to one of his former fraternity brothers who is out of work, and they couldn't afford to keep us both. FML
Today, I was fired from my job of 5 years. I was let go because I couldn't take the company to 'the next level'. My now ex-boss asked me if I could process my severance check because he didn't know how. I had to write myself my last paycheck. FML

If you can prove that. Call a lawyer and see what they say.

In many states, they’d call that shitty but perfectly legal.

And that is why, so much as possible, you avoid a job where there is family working for family such as this. In the long run if OP’s story is true, karma will catch up with boss and his business will suffer from having an over-paid, under-performing employee on his staff who is hard to fire. While I agree that this might be an illegal firing, proving that is a long shot - especially if this is in a state that allows businesses to fire individuals for no reason. And, if other potential employers find out you have a lawsuit going with a former employer they are not going to hire you. It is sadly true that the deck is stacked against the employee when it comes to proving unlawful termination.

Sounds like a shit company. You’ll look back on this as a blessing that you disassociated from that bunch of assholes before their scam collapsed.

Well, at least you can feel good knowing that's going to bite him in the ass big time. Firing good workers for lazy relatives never works out very well in the long run.

That’s unlawful discharge. Call the police and your asshole that you call a boss will be going to jail.
