As ridiculous as it sounds, this passing saturday my boss was angry with me because i ate one m&m out of a package at my cash after my coworker who was on her unpaid lunch break bought them for me. the day of my manager and I spoke about it and I finished my shift that day and worked the next day. I went in to start my shift at 12 yesterday and I was called into my managers office and was told I was given a write-up for what happened and because I had write ups already, some from over a year ago, he told me he took it to Human Resources and that they gave him a letter saying I needed to be terminated and can no longer work there. I take responsibility for my actions and understand that i've broken some rules but i wasn't given any noticed at all, i was sat down and told i didn't have a job anymore and was walked out the back exit. I believe it's wrongful dismissal because he has a number of employees who break the same little rules on a day to day basis and let's it slide. I know I have coworkers with a number of write ups as well and there's also those who take 25-30 minute "15 minute" breaks and the manager is well aware of these things because I told him myself and that I think it's unfair. I cried and begged for maybe 20 minutes as embarassing as it was because I know i'm an amazing worker and I'm one of the most reliable employees he's ever had. I just want to know if anything that happened could make this a wrongful dismissal?

You have almost certainly been wrongfully dismissed and you could have significant entitlements at law. I strongly recommend that you contact an employment lawyer at the number below.
