I was fired 2 months ago. The only reason stated on the paper for termination was probation. I was however fired right after I had to call into work because my daughter was very sick and had to be brought to the hospital. The boss ended up calling me and demanding I be at work. Then asked for me to come in for a meeting the following day. Where all the other employees already knew I was terminated. I asked for further explanation of why I was terminated in an email to which I have never received a response. Is there anything I can do? I only worked there 2 months but feel as if my termination was a direct result of my daughter having to be in the hospital which seems unjust.
