Has anyone ever tried to get you fired from your job?

Yeah I lost this cleaning job a few years ago because of this girl that did not like me. Or at least I thought that is why I lost my job. See they started the boss asking me a lot of weird questions about my boyfriends past and I only worked on the weekends. Then like a week later they said they needed to let me go. I got mad because I needed the job at the time but when I look back on it you know everyone gets what is coming to them. I live near this chick now and I see that things do come back around so happy mylotting to you and have a great day!

I had a dispute with a co-worker outside of work. He went and accused me of harassment at work. I resolved the issue by telling the truth. Since I hadn't been guilty of workplace harassment, they really couldn't do anything. It was a bit scary though. Obviously we're not friends any more. lol

Hello puddytat. It is really bad of someone who wants to get another fired from his or her job. I think that people of this kind are immoral and inhuman. I am lucky that I have not met one such person though there are certain colleagues who are jealous of me for my wonderful job that is praised by real boss. I wish you to stand firm in your job with good luck, dear friend.

No one did this to me personally, but my husband has had people do this to him on two separate occasions. The first time, the guy succeeded. My husband would sometimes bring a coke home from work with him from his store and because the registers were closed would pay for it the next day. One day he was closing and he asked the new guy to remind him to pay for his coke in the morning. Instead of reminding him, he told the manager (who loved my husband because he was his best employee at the time) about the coke and accused him of stealing. The guy was being malicious because he remembered what happened and didn't say anything. The guy was trying to get a 500 dollar bonus that the company awarded people for turning in theft reports. The manager was completely mad at the guy for what he did because it was underhanded and he told him it wasn't how he ran his business. The manager refused to let him have the 500 dollar reward. Because he didn't want my husband to be blacklisted for the rest of his life, he told him what happened and my husband just quit so that he couldn't be fired and have theft charges brought up against him...they would have sued him for a coke...that's right, a 1.49 coke. The second time it happened, my husband was a manager at a retail store and he found out from his district manager (DM) that his assistant manager (AM) at his store was calling the DM and telling her every little thing that he did trying to get him in trouble. His DM absolutely loves him, so she just would tell the AM that she didn't care. She was reporting stupid, petty things anyway. She was doing this because she had wanted to store manager job that my husband took over when he was brought in as a new employee with the company. The funny thing is that the DM had told this woman that she could not be an AM and she would not even let her take the manager's test because she just wasn't right for the job. Anyway, after my husband found out the gloves were off. He eventually fired her because he caught her working off the clock (which is illegal) and told her not to do it but she kept doing it. I was so mad about both of these incidences. It really makes me mad that people have no decency. Who tries to get a guy with a wife and a kid fired for money or personal advancement? I felt sorry that the lady lost her job, but this was a 50 year old woman and she should have been a little more grown up. I think she got what she deserved.

Well, I am afraid that bad people can be anywhere, always willing to harm you for their personal benefit.. I would suggest patience and better don't try to clash with them directly. If there is something weird you have proof for, you could also bring it up to your boss... Would be better if he knew that something was going on at first, rather than you having to explain to him later with him being furious...

i'm very lucky as i never went through this situation, the place which i had worked often have a good relationship among colleagues at office, we often share our stories with others,eating some snake during listening on our spare times. we worked nearly two years.so i'm very lucky.if i want to changed to a new job, it is because of i'm very tired of doing the sames thing or the salary isn't enough for our daily life.otherwise, i don't want to changed. good luck and have a nice day!

i am happy for you, puddytat, that you have won that life's battle that you went through then. it must have been very difficult from your part to be plunged into deep hot water. for my part, i never went through the same situation. mine might run to be a similar one in some respects, though. an officemate of mine has noticed that i have been getting promotions quite fast. every year, a promotion comes my way. what she did was to spread humors about me. about me personally and about how i do my work. she convinced everyone that i have been backbiting my officemates and she even manufactured what are those things that i have said. well, she must be happier still when i was forced to resign from my work because of my son's worsening health condition. i had to take care of him personally 24/7. i figured that her elation due to this development was really high. since she can never take over my work because, qualifications wise she'll always be on a different field, i figured that she's just among those jealous freaks who couldn't do any good to anybody.

ah yes she did try as she disliked the idea that i was the only one working in thelibrary that was a senior citizen, and she threathened our boss to quit if she didnt fire me, so the boss said to me she hated to do it but she had to let me go because I was nearly eighty and cou ldnt do the work anymore, just after she had said I was the best worker she had ever had. go figure but she and the eqivalent of a female dog that wanted me gone were aferwards fired for age discrimination and I was truly glad, but I refused to come back. I had had it with them. I had wo rked there for 23 years so why the firing? i could have sued but doubt you can fight city government anyway.

Yup. Back when I was in my early 20's a woman I worked with got me fired. I didn't really care because I already had another job in a new town. I was going to quit in a week anyway. She wanted my job for her daughter. Her daughter took it, but she joined the army without telling her mom. After a few months she left. About 6 months later she cause some other troubles. Really big ones this time, that got the police involved. The powers that be realized that what this woman said about me was a huge lie and they asked me to come back. Sorry I wasn't ever going back. I had a better job.
