    I think it's more just that my ex-boss is a fucking bitch who doesn't understand that when someone's immediate family dies suddenly, it's not like a bloody goldfish.


    You could always cut out the obituary.

    /me regains composure.

    Surely with no warnings for five years and the note you left, you've a pretty watertight case for getting your job back.

    Before you go to the expense of legal representation, see your boss and explain that you intend to contend the dismissal and that you've been led to believe that your appeal will be successful. If I was your boss, I'd realise this and may offer to rescind the dismissal and issue a written warning in its stead.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    I'm a strong believer in unions, and I always have been, I advise any worker to join, it's in your interests to do so.
    I'm with one of the biggest unions in the UK, CWU & a member of UNITE.
    They kick ass for a small membership fee

    Maybe so but there's a lot of small business that doesn't have the union option available.

    @MagicNakor, this situation is truly wrong. I think that making a complaint would be a good idea. Not to get the job back (it's not good to work for people like that), but for personal satisfaction and to tell them that it's not right.

    In fact... I really think that people should be allowed to take the occasional day off whenever they choose to. They don't own you.

    @ Virtualbody1234,
    In the UK, almost every employment occupation will have a union you can join, it's nice to have an independent body looking after your interests.
    And in this case it would have been a wise choice to seek advice from a union.
    That’s if you have Unions in Canada dude!
