Today, I went into work. After three years of working 55 hours a week, they fired me by putting the contents of my locker at the front door, with a note that said "If not picked up by 10:00 am stuff will be donated." I work the night shift. I just lost three sweaters, two pairs of shoes, $60, and my job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I worked my job then went home to enjoy my weekend. An hour later, I was called and told I was fired, without any reason given. I can’t even empty my locker, as they'd said they would mail my things to me. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. 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
Today, I got fired from my part-time job, because I insisted on keeping my phone in my pocket and never using it, instead of putting it in locker without a lock or security camera, that anyone can go through. The manager found out by searching my locker for the past 3 weeks. Ironic. FML
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, I started my first day at work, I've been unemployed for a while and am in college, so naturally I have no money. At the end of my shift, I ask what we do with the extra bread, and they tell me to throw it away. Being poor and hungry, I decide to take the bread home. I got fired for stealing. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I got fired from the job I've only had for a week. Between paying for a physical, my own background check and uniforms, I paid more money to start working there than I'll get from my one and only paycheck. FML

#6 and 7- he found out he was fired because they put his stuff by the door. reason for termination is yet unknown. OP- that sounds very unprofessional of your job. might even violate some business laws. not a lawyer but I would look into it just in case.

At least tell us what you did to get canned. It might help explain what otherwise looks like unnecessarily harsh treatment.

Nobody is allowed to steal your stuff even if they fired you.

There is more to this story than you're letting on. TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!

The Ontario Labour Code says that all permanent employees past their 3 month probation are entitled to a proper warning process (verbal, written, final, term), otherwise you can sue the company.. for more than what you lost... Even if you were temping or on contract, it's illegal to not give you sufficient time to pick up your stuff

Actually, some businesses would. I heard about one business, when they had to start laying people off but were afraid that resentful employees would steal information or office supplies if they had a chance, so they had a fire drill and once everyone was outside, they made an announcement that if their key-card won't let them back inside, it means that they no longer have a job and that their things would be mailed to them.

how did you know what the note said if the note was in the box that was donated.?

I misunderstood what you wrote. It was the door that said " if not picked up by 10:00am...".

Sue!! Surely there is something in your workplace laws over there... if you have any, that doesn't allow them to do that?

Yes, you do misunderstand.
