Good luck Chris. Definitely take the to court. He had no right to fire you. but find a different job

[guado]

He is sooo screwed if you choose to pursue it. I also love it when people are so ignorant that they feel a person with tatoos and smokes cigars can't be "saved."

What a dumbass.

Best of luck to you with whatever you choose. Either way I know you'll find a new and better job soon.

Phil told me about this today. That's one of the most completely BS firings I've ever heard of. That said, I have no doubt you'll be a lot happier when you get a job that doesn't involve working for that idiot. Best of luck, Chris.

Chris,
What a bummer man. I have four words that get me through all the hard times I have had in my nearly fifty years - "This too, will pass." Good luck.

Damn...That is rotten to the core. Good luck in finding a job. God closes doors to show us open ones.

Respect for the religious beliefs expressed in this thread prevent me from saying what I normally would. Anyway, see how well he does now without you. Sounds like he was going into the toilet already and now he's one step closer.

[Smoky Contemplation]

Sorry to hear, Chef. I'm sure that something better will come along.

snip..... God closes doors to show us open ones.

Truer words were never spoken. I feel for ya man........you'll pull through it fine. Lean on Sarah and the book....both will prop you up.

That blows. I think you should report him.

[King Catfish]

Sorry to hear about that. You seem to be taking it with a good attitude. BTW, if any of his actions are documented, you could have quite the case in court. Several of the things you mention him doing are not acceptable employment practices, I think.

If any of the managers in my workplace acted in this way they would be fired very quickly if these actions were documented, but I work for a very large company that is very careful about these things.

Again, sorry to hear it. Perhaps a better opportunity will come up and you will be happier. Working for a crappy boss really sucks.

Got a job interview Friday with DirectTv.
Cross your fingers.
