Dear Evil HR Lady,
I was fired over the phone for what my supervisor is calling “an untruthful absence” for which I used vacation days for.
They are now emailing me demanding that I come into the office at my scheduled start time and report to our General Manager once there.
I don’t feel it necessary as I have already been told that it is in my best interest to not go back to the office and that I was fired. Now they are telling me something different.

I would love to hear an update on this one, if you learn anything! Very interesting situation. Love the blog and your answers.
Me too! I hope we hear back.
Wait, the original letter writer said they were fired for an ‘untruthful absence’ for a day they used VACATION TIME for, and you’re telling them to apologize??? WHY????
It’s none of the employer’s business WHAT the person does while on vacation. While I wouldn’t act out or anything like that, if I were fired simply because the employer didn’t *like* what I did on my vacation day, I would damn sure not be apologizing for anything.
