What a crappy way to run a company! I can't imagine just telling someone to get there stuff and go without a good reason

Wow, that is harsh. I know here in the US they have to have an excuse to fire you not just tell you your fires and that's that. Just do your job and hope for the best I'm sure everything will be ok.

You need to have an excuse here too, unless it's on your probation period, and I think the receptionist was just coming up to the end of her probation period. Usually it's 3 months but I think some companies have it longer. If they just don't like you in that time, they can get rid of you.
I heard through the grapevine that with one guy, they wanted to fire him, so they were searching for a reason to fire him. They even went through his company email account, including backups of any emails he might have deleted. I guess they found something good enough.

Sure does suck being in that environment , that is unbelievable how they just fire people on the spot. So Heartless!!! Lindsay I believe in Karma and every dog has its day. Hang in there try to make the best of the situation and try not to stress over it. Easier said than done I know. I don't know about the job situation in Cananda but here in the states it's not so easy to get jobs with this economy.

I wouldn't want to work in a place like that. When I was fired from the SWCD it came as a big shock. When I asked them why I was being fired (since all my reviews were excellent) they said they were told by their attorney to not say. They tried to fight my unemployement claim and lost....guess that showed them...lol.

I always thought that keeping a low profile, and doing a good job is the best thing to do at work if there's trouble brewing.
Good luck Linds!!!
