Things are like i am a college student, found a part-timed job in a restaurant few month ago. Two month after, i was terminated without any reason and explaination, and I am absolutly sure i never done anything wrong and brought anybody trouble. Just one day my schedule suddenly getting less and less, til i compeltly disappeared from it. They used to put me as a full-time one, so i had to give up my another job, and my summer school class. After they hired few more people, just kicked me out without any notice. Two weeks i got no work, and it took me another 2-3 weeks to find another job. I have bills coming everyday, that makes me a big financial gap. That job screw up my everything and left me a entire month without income. I realize there is no legal action i can take. but, is this fair they can hire anybody, as many as they want for temporaly need without notice, and later just kick them out ignore how much troubles they would bring to others? what can i do??

It's not fair. It's a crappy way of doing business. But on the other hand, you could also just disappear and leave them short handed (which would also not be right).
All you can do is find another job.

Unfortunately, many states have what is called "Employment at Will". They can terminate you for looking at them cross-eyed. Is it right? No, but they can. My advice to you is since every state has it's own "code" or "laws", contact your local Workforce Development center and ask to speak to someone. The information you receive will be free and confidential. If they recommend you hire an attorney based on some civil liberties being violated, then I would hire one. You can also contact your local Civil Liberties union to see if any have been violated. I hope this helps! Good luck!

In the restaurant profession- that is how it is- with part-time employment.
I hate that you figured that out the hard way.
Most states are hire at will which means they can hire or not whoever they like and they can terminate employment for whatever reason they like as well.
You're best bet is too call your creditors and let them know why you are behind and most will understand.
Good luck at your new job.

If you were still in your probationary periods which you most likely were (the standard is 90 days) then there is nothing you can do.
A probationary period is used to see if the employee is a good fit for the company and you can be terminated or phased out without warning or reason, it is unfortunate however completely within the employers rights.

It is terribly unfair. But it happens. Find another job and be watching out for yourself. Trust no one in business.

it's unfair but that's how it goes. keep working, you'll be fine.
...AND don't dwell on it, it'll just cause you unneeded stress. you'll probably go through tons of jobs before settling onto just one. look at the positive side...you'll be getting experience from different jobs.
