i got a job at the dollar store last week. my first shift went smoothly without any problems, but i copied someone else's schedule down for my second shift by mistake. i was supposed to work in the morning that day, but i thought that my shift was in the evening and i stayed at home. i did not receive any phone call from work asking me why i didn't show up, so i had no idea that i was going for someone else's shift when i went to work in the evening. my manager there told me that my shift was in the morning, and i missed it. she said that they didn't need me to work for them anymore. she asked me to come the next day for my last shift, and that they'll mail me my pay cheque.the reason they gave me for firing me was that i didn't show up for my scheduled shift. i had the feeling that the manager did not like me, but firing me like that seems a bit extreme. so i was wondering if i should do something about it?like is there a law that prevents employees from getting fired for stupid thing
