    You can’t be fired for unlawful reasons. Being fired for taking an agreed upon vacation is illegal retaliation.

      They just lie about it. You get your unemployment granted. Especially in the shittiest jobs this is how it goes.

      Sounds like you haven’t been in the American work force.

      They can fire you for any reason. Or no reason. Nothing matters because if you’re a wage slave nobody cares.

      Plus they probably made you sign a waiver to work there saying that you couldn’t ever sue them for any reason.

        They can fire you for any reason. Or no reason.

        They cannot legally fire you for any reason, though yes, they can fire you for no reason. The distinction often doesn’t matter, but sometimes they’re stupid enough to put the illegal reason in writing
