Been sacked

Basically my doctor signed me off work until Wednesday due to a little breakdown I had on Friday and I just found out that I've been fired.
Luckily I'm glad about it coz I wanna do a very part time job like cleaning or soemthing that requires no stress while I do a bit of soul searching.
I really hate my ex boss tho, the ungrateful bitch. She fucked off and left me to do this huge profect and once it was finished, what happens? I get fired.

You are better off and you will go onto new and better things. That is the first thing you need to see in your soul searching. Good luck!

were you fired AFTER your doctor signed you off? It may differ state to state - but that sounds illegal. Even though you are glad to be out of that job, at least you could fight for some money or something. It sucks. But looking at the bright side - you can find a no stress job and do some soul searching. I need that - but I can't afford it =(

I was there for 6 weeks and I was a temp. They said its coz i am too unreliable. i got sacked from there before but explained the situation and was allowed back but coz I've been signed off, I was sacked again. Unfortunately as a temp i dont have any rights.

No... you dont :( Unless you work in a job for a year, you have no rights if you are sacked, no matter what the reason. Its very wrong but thats the way it is. Do as you say you want to and get yourslef something that involves no stress for the time being. I actually left my job cos my temper was going a lot and I couldnt deal with horrible people. Im out of work and although I know I need to earn money, i also know that I needed to do it :)

simmilar thing happened to me - I worked 70 hours a week, had a two week holiday in Turkey - came back to no job! Bastards, best thing they ever did, gone fron 2,000 per month to 70 per week. This depression thing is shite, the hours are good but the money could be better!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
