I called in sick on new years eve, have provided a doctors note, and still got fired for calling in on a mandatory work day. Can anything be done? Especially since there are other people who have called in more than just that day that week and are still employed?

Thank you for your question. Unless you have a disability, the company is allowed to let you go. That said, this would be a termination without cause, which means you get severance. Please give me a call to discuss the amount that you are owed.
