‘I’m legit getting fired for attendance when I called off one time’: Manager fires employee for calling in sick, then tries to treat it as a resignation – FAIL Blog

To make matters even worse, not only did they fire the author, but they even went so far as to try to frame his dismissal as a voluntary resignation. The reasoning? They clearly wanted to get out of having to give this guy any severance or unemployment benefits. 

As several members of this online community noted, it will be highly unlikely that this human resources department will successfully get away with that aspect of this case. Furthermore, the grounds for “attendance” issues are not even substantial enough, and the author has at least a partial record of what actually happened. We wish him the best of luck and hope he finds a better opportunity elsewhere!
