Got fired for no reason today

yeah the employer that I have been working for the last 4 yrs decided to fire me for something I didnt do this morning. The thing is, this guy is the only one in my working hitstory, so I'm forced to use him as a reference which is going to make it even harder for me to get a new job now.

That blows goats. Are you still living with your parents or are you out on your own?

I'm living with them now, but next couple weeks I'm supposed to be getting a place with a couple friends...

Well I hope everything works out for you. Getting fired sucks.

Sorry to hear this.

Dude, the fact you worked for somebody for 4 years says a lot about you, especially your first job.

Yeah I really liked working for him too.

I got fired during my stint at Wendy's for eating all the fries.

At least you didn't stick your dick in the chili. That was my a friend of mine's first job experience travesty.

that sucks but you're young. you'll bounce back quickly.

Sorry to hear,Stender.But four years is a good work record for someone your age.Something good will come along

Sorry to hear about it, but you'll be able to get something else. If
you just list some other character references and explain your
situation with your former boss, I'm sure someone else would be willing
to give you a shot. Four years is quite a while to be employed at your
age.

Sorry about that Stender but you are young and who knows maybe this happened for a reason, I am sure something better will be around the corner.

4 Years is long time for a guy so young, it is easy to get caught up in the day to day routine, this will give you chance to maybe explorer other avenues and interest. In some ways this guy may have done you a favor, it may not seem that way at the moment but it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise to use an old cliche.

I got fired on suspicion of something I didn't do when I was a teenager, and the same thing happened to my best friend years later. You're better off having a different job rather than one that's willing to scapegoat a kid just because they are an easy target when something goes wrong. It happens a lot.

Sorry man. Keep your head up.

Hey, keep your chin up, man. All that matters is you know in your heart that you are innocent and take that with you to your next job and just work your a$$ off for them. Good luck. Peace.

What did you get fired for? Can you prove you didn't do it?

No way of proving man, its basically my word against his. I worked doing professional landscaping and out of the workcrew I was in, somebody cut a bunch of stuff down that the client didnt want cut and I ended up being the fall guy. My boss then proceeded to list the small things that I had done wrong in the past and then said I was done...

sounds like BS man.. bummer,, keep your head up.. itlll all work out

Sue him, then you'll never have to work again! :lol

I don't know where your at (location), but here in Washington, menial labor jobs are a dime a dozen and don't pine over this lost job, if after 4 years this guy does not see your true self/potential or bother to listen and trust in you, than it was never meant to be and you should not waste any energy worrying about it.

Get yourself enrolled for unemployment ASAP. At least in a weak you will be getting a check, all be it a small one, while you are out hustling up a new job.

Some good advice here so keep your head up.

that sucks...well you know what they say:

Look at the bright side, at least it happened now and not 10 years down the road.
