Woman shocked to receive brutal message from boss on her wedding day that she's been fired

While your wedding day is meant to be one of the happiest days of your life, it can sometimes be dampened by events outside of your control... and I think it's safe to say being fired is one of those.

It’s hard to say there’s ever a good day to get fired, but it happening on the same day that you’re tying the knot is among the worst-case scenarios for a bride or groom.

Well, one woman - who goes by the name Amanda - called into The Ben Askins Show to share her story about getting fired on her wedding day, detailing the swiftness with which she got told the devastating news on what was meant to be one of the happiest days of her life.

“Half an hour after the ceremony, I got a text from my boss on WhatsApp to let me know I had been fired,” Amanda explained before noting that her boss was well aware it was her wedding day. Savage.

“She started the message with, ‘I hope your wedding went well and you had a nice time away'," she continued.

While Amanda told the show that she didn't end up read the text until later in the night, upon discovering that she was no longer in the company’s WhatsApp groups, she soon realized that her employment had been terminated.

“I saw her message, and with all my friends around me I just gasped,” Amanda recalled.

Host Askins - unsurprisingly - was appalled by the brutal turn of events, calling it 'one of the worst things he’s ever heard' before the pair went on to discuss what led up to Amanda’s firing.

Amanda explained that she had been fired over what she was told were 'performance issues' but that it had sadly happened within her probation period, meaning the company wasn’t entitled to give her any further reason for letting her go.

“I had no indication whatsoever to these performance issues,” Amanda said.

“The culture sounds beyond awful,” Askins responded. “They fired you and they’ve tried to now reverse the story, coming up with all these random reasons.”

“Obviously they don’t deserve you… but the fact they did that, they chose that day, and they included that in both the email and the text.

“Who the hell do these people think they are?"

Amanda added that after inquiring several times about the legitimacy of her firing, she was inevitably ignored by the company. Yikes.
