They're just salty bruh. A lot of people change on you when that two week notice goes in. "Why didn't you ask for a raise?" That kinda stuff. It stings them when they see you find a better job.
just got fired for the stupidest reason in the world. still laughing hours later

that's why i say **** 2 week notice unless it hurts your coworkers
my last job i speant 30 minutes talking to my mom telling her i was about to quit and got a new job offer.
then i typed up a letter of resignation and paged my manager to HIS office for an impromptu meeting. it felt great.

This might help explain the situation.

Yeah not really a stupid reason, at this point it's clear to them they've been paying you to attend someone elses training that doesn't benefit them. Not really petty if it affects their bottom line.

This. I've seen this happen to two people. Both were told to not bother coming in to their last shifts.
It's always good to leave a job on good terms. Never know when you'll need a recommendation or one of your future bosses is in cahoots with your old bosses, etc.

man, everyone sit around the camp fire. im going to go into how i got fired for the first time. imma try to top yours.
I worked at a store. grocery type store, they have everything. anyways it was friday and a coworker of mine asked me to bring her a beer. shes 21 im 21, i was like alright cool. i didnt want to leaqve it in the car so i brought it in and put it in the store fridge. i tell her its there so she can take it when our shift is over. she ends up drinking 2 40's during her shift. no one notices anything. i go to the fridge, because it was my job to close everything up at the end of the day and i see the two beer bottles. I'm like
I go to throw them away, and out of nowhere my manager comes out like what the hell you drank those right now? I was like "no. Theyre not mine. they were in the fridge I don't know whos they are. " She drops it but is obviously angry. I was just like, it wasnt mine.
Week after this im not on the schedule. Have a meeting and they suspended me, then 2 weeks later i get a call im fired for bringing alcohol onto the premises. Which is a stupid technicality but im sure they were just trying to come up with a reason which is what took them so long.
overall it was stupid, people brought beer there all the time and no one cared. the day manager snitched on me that im the one who brought it. i was angry at the time but in the end i started working for a better company with full benefits. so best thing that ever happened to me

Yeah, calling in sick on days you requested to have off is a big no-no. That said, them denying you days off for your new job training is some petty BS too.
Personally, I feel like sick/vacation time is time that you earned, so use it however you want. But some employers don't really get down like that. Oh well. Live and learn.

Just to be clear, it was against the rules to bring alcohol on the premises, and you brought alcohol on the premises?man, everyone sit around the camp fire. im going to go into how i got fired for the first time. imma try to top yours.

they never had me sign any paper against it, nor did anyone tell me. I also dont think its against ABC laws if i didnt open it or sell it. Also, managers and other employees had brought alcohol as gifts for each other. so, i dont know bruh.

but OP, why not just wait for dude to leave so you can heat up your food? Shouldn't have given them a reason to fire you.
