Add Comment Question: I've never got written up at work and I accidentally broke something at work. I tried fixing it but couldn't. My boss was mad at me and fired me after being there for 8 months. Do I get a 2 week compensation pay? Answer: Thanks for your question. Even as an 8 month employee, you may be looking at significantly more than 2 weeks based on your age and position with the company.
