[QUOTE=gamefreek76;25950950]You're not in a union, nobody is going to fight for you.
You're not protected under any law to keep your job, unless you were fired for discrimination or some other shit like that.
Most of these idiots don't know what they are talking about and you can get fired for just about any reason your employer can think of.
Take the company to court and lose or deal with it.[/QUOTE]
You don't need to be in an union to have rights. To be ill can simply not be a valid reason to get fired. Corporations do have a responsibility towards their employees. AFAIK an employee can not "just" be fired unless they have committed a crime. Besides if someone is genuinely ill and the doctor has given advice (whether or not it is on paper) not to work the employer is obliged to respect that.
The reason of getting fired is in no way valid.
Well, here's what I did. I called the guy again and told him I'm going to sue him. He told me that he is hiring me again. (After a long conversation, don't get me wrong, I'm oversimplifying) I called again 15 seconds later and told him I quit and that he should be ashamed of his stupidity. I then called the competitive store, down the street, which was my other option when I was searching for work and asked them if they have any open spots after explaining my situation. And... I got hired on the same position as before, but in a different store. Sure, the pay is a bit smaller, but I can live with that. It was totally worth it.
good lad

Don't really know about other countries but in Sweden firing someone for calling in sick over the phone instead of in person is illegal.

Damn, that's good, the boss is a total dick.
[QUOTE=Penis Colada;25950907]show up to work and be like "AM I SICK ENOUGH FOR YOU?" and barf all over him[/QUOTE]
I actually did that once
Since you are fired, call him and tell him that he is a giagantic pieve of shit and you hope he dies a horrible painful death.

Hm. I must have forgotten to put you on my ignore list.
so you told him you would sue him then he rehired you then you quit and went to work somewhere for lower pay when he didnt want you as a employee anyway?... wow, you sure showed that guy. lol

And then he gets charged with harassment
OP, next time you go into work, go up to the window and get your old boss' attention
Point at the uniform and :smug:

Totally doing that.
Work through the fever you loser.
Not to be offensive but both me and my girlfriend got pretty bad cases of the flu last month and be both went to work and in my case my boss sent me home because i was simply too sick.
You should always go in and see if you can work. Not just call in lazy sick.

Yes, work with gentle electronics through a 38.9 fever. I love you logic.

Hahahaha
Yeah that's illegal >.<
That should be illegal. I would contact your union!

What area of electronics do you work in anyway?
[QUOTE=Kai365;25951338]What area of electronics do you work in anyway?[/QUOTE]
Until now, I mostly repaired faulty devices. DVDs, TVs, stuff like that. I presume my "new" job won't be too different.
Ask him what would he do in your situation.

I really don't want to deal with him anymore.

Im sure you are pretty proud, you slick little worker bee.
This is wrongful dismissal. Most labor laws in any country prohibit such acts. Call your local Labor board about this issue. Your boss is an inconsiderate prick.
To anyone who thinks that their employer can fire them for any given reason, you probably deserve it if you keep thinking that. Know your rights!
Sue him now, that's un-fucking-acceptable.
I agree with you OP, he fired you for a bullshit reason
Your boss was/is a giant fucking dick.
[QUOTE=The Advisor;25951528]Sue him now, that's un-fucking-acceptable.[/QUOTE]
I don't have the money, the time or the nerves to sue him.
That would be illegal in Denmark. :v:

Wow, how old are you? 5? i say one thing and you are like "OMG IGNORE :saddowns:"
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;25951661]Wow, how old are you? 5? i say one thing and you are like "OMG IGNORE :saddowns:"[/QUOTE]
Yes, I am obviously five. I just have a tendency to ignore people who post retarded things.
Your boss can not fire you for that reason. He simply can't.
You can sue him, lol. Your boss sounds like a douche, stupid douche.
you also need a medical certificate to prove you were sick. It's should be no problem though, I mean you called your doctor and all
