So i been working there for about a year. we had one agurment and told me this "you're not going to get fired"

So i check hours monday or tuesday. and this saturday he told me he had to let me go beacause of the "hrs"

I dont beleive it this bs.

Your question is????

Unless you were fired for a reason probhibited by law (race, religion, sex, ethnicity, etc.) then the termination is legal. The company does not need a good reason to fire you. They don't need a reason at all. You must prove that the firing was because you were in a protected class. Good luck on that!

Dust off the resume and find a new job.

I have no idea what you said, above, aside from that you may be looking for a new job.

Well, he may have said you were not going to be fired, but if you are not scheduled to work, guess what? Same difference. File for unemployment while circulating that resume. Won't hurt.

No acutally your not getting hrs he fired me over hrs.

there a diffrence

Nothing you have posted gives you legal recourse against your employer.

Not really. You aren't working. Fired, laid off, riffed, who cares? You aren't working.

Now laid off (lack of hours) might get you unemployment benefits. Fired might not, if you were fired for misconduct.

I never said it did. I just think there needs to be a better reasons for fireing someone.

not getting hrs means you are still working there getting fired is mean you're done.

You still haven't asked a question; you are on a legal forum, so people assume you are inquiring as to the legality of your employer's actions.

Try looking at it this way, then. Your manager said you would not get fired, and you apparently have not been fired. He didn't say that you wouldn't be disciplined. You are apparently being disciplined by the reduction of hours.

Getting into an argument with your manager is a good (or at least good enough) reason to be fired or disciplined.

my question is shouldnt all state have a reason to fire someone.

There is no list of legal reasons to terminate someone's employment. It would be too long and could never cover everything.

There is a very short list of reasons that employers are NOT supposed to terminate someone's employment, such as due to race, age (over 40), religion, ethnicity, gender, or in retaliation for filing a complaint of discriminaiton or a workers compensation claim. Your circumstances as you describe them are not on that list.

my question is shouldnt all state have a reason to fire someone.

There is always a reason. We all just don't wake up one day and decide "hey, I think I'll fire someone for no reason today". :rolleyes: They don't legally have to tell you what it is.

Perhaps there should. But the law does not say they have to. Therefore, they don't have to. Period. End of discussion.

And even if there was such a list, I am pretty sure that arguing with your boss would be on it... under "insubordination".
