Do you mind at all me asking what they actually said offended them so much? There is actually a really bad situation within the west in particular where you have people losing their jobs and so on because of being targeted by people over it. Sometimes you can't do anything about it as you say, but if they just suddenly decided this without even telling you there could be potential for you to argue your case? You could potentially sue for wrongful dismissal if it was totally made up bullshit or completely ridiculous, yes, I know, you may not want to do this, but this is your livelihood at stake. If you weren't even consulted about it by these people and they just fired you on the spot you could talk to a lawyer.

I thought about unemployment compensation for about 2 seconds before dismissing it. I may be wrong but I believe I was still within their stated orientation period (less than 60 days) where I could be dismissed for no reason at all. Yes, it's complete bullshit and had I been given ANY kind of warning I would have been submitting applications for a smooth transition elsewhere. Like I mentioned, I've never been fired from a job before so this was a completely new experience for me. They didn't have an opportunity to get to know me or they would know I would have been a work horse until the very last second of my last day but I guess most people would have raged out of there. Honestly, it's not worth the aggravation. I'm used to tightening my belt. This situation has solidified my resolve to pursue what I love instead of settling for a mindless job at nearly minimum wage. It's not the job itself but the bit of steady income that I'll miss the most. Oh...and if I had any kind of tenure I would definitely have spoken to a lawyer. I have quite a few friends who were used up for DECADES and then treated like crap. It's wrong for anyone to treat a dedicated employee like that!
