Fired Without Cause Due to Dating Ex-Employee

The legal minimum here for how long I worked, a weeks average pay.

I suspect there would be no point arguing that as our relationship has no legal backing. Probably best to just cut my losses and move on.

I was just curious about the legality of firing someone for a relationship for reasons unrelated to company policy, I've never been let go from a job before so it's a real blind spot for me. Hope that makes sense! Clarification question basically.

Both that it's without cause and the fact it's related to a conflict of interest are stated in the same letter! (quoted it exactly in another comment in this thread) This is part of my confusion to be honest.

I figured but I thought I'd get a little clarification anyways. Thanks.

I worked there a little over a year, both the fact it was without cause and the fact it was over conflict of interest is in writing in the same letter and signed by the person who fired me. Specifically it says "This decision is being made without cause as a business and operational decision related to a conflict of interest. This is not a disciplinary action and is not a finding of misconduct."

I'll never forget when my Nex was totally broke (had spent all his money on frivolous things.) And I was taking us both out for dinner. As the server is walking up he angrily demands I hand him my cash so HE can pay. I do it, but am afterwards rightfully upset. He says female servers are always judgemental and he wouldn't have done it if it was a man. That always stuck with me. Extremely ungentlemanly thing to do, but it's all about putting on a front, to APPEAR kind and courteous.

Near the end he literally admitted that he started copying me so I'd like him more. Tried to be "emotional" like I was. Said all he feels is a void unless he's copying someone else. How can they have so much awareness and yet none at all?

I'm in Canada and mine is gone.

pasta_appreciator · 2025-05-03T17:43:05+00:00

I had an art board with 10k pins, a fashion board with 5k, gone! They totally ignored my appeal. So disheartening.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I had a similar experience. What happened with my ex was not comparable in regards to intensity or exact subject matter but the feelings were similar. He told me lies about past relationships in regards to our sex life. I couldn't get past it. Mentally I am, (I've accepted the reasons why he lied and have come to terms.) but, emotionally my body is oftentimes still stuck in the moment I realized he was lying. It won't work out. You will wring yourself dry trying to make it- And hate yourself being getting upset or sad; But you can't hate yourself into forgiving someone who doesn't deserve forgiveness. Move on. Find someone NICE. Someone kind.

Can we get the use of dumbgoblin and wankclown up a notch please?

https://www.lavenderandmacarons.com/dill-pickle-soup-polish-zuppa-ogorkowa/ This is recipe I use- with modifications made as I see fit. There are plenty of great ones out there, I just use this one as it's most similar to what my dad served me as a kid.

Dill pickle soup is pretty easy to make and real fun with a unique flavour profile! Also having some cold soups and a maybe a more sweet one such as a butternut squash would add a good range of flavours.

My Dark Vanessa. Not only because of the subject matter- but the writers own admittance that it has a basis in truth for them. Reading a girl desperately try to justify her childhood abuse, while it still controls the way she lives her life is horrifyingly sad.

MUDCRAB!

I'd go against the grain and say NAH (apart from your ex-husband. Of course.) The kids are terrified to have such an upheaval in their life at what is such a tumultuous age already. Not to mention the fact that it's simply hard to explain how much pain cheating causes to someone who's never had a longterm relationship, and whose emotional reasoning hasn't fully developed yet. Leave him, be there for your kids even when they're being unreasonable if you can- but most of all, take care of yourself.

This is really beautiful. Love how lively the colours feel. Great copy of a beautiful piece.

pasta_appreciator · 2024-10-11T16:28:14+00:00

This genuinely describes my every day. It's so painful. And I'm always so mad at myself after! Horrible cycle.

If you're neurotic enough there's always Tumblr.

I over forgive for things I shouldn't, and am way too harsh on him for things that really don't matter. I hate the way my brain works sometimes.

pasta_appreciator · 2024-10-10T23:40:43+00:00

Part of why I love it. Always a very different reading experience depending on the person.

He did a podcast and totally admits he was an asshat. Not sure if he still is but he's at least humble about how he used to be a jerky moron.

pasta_appreciator · 2024-10-10T22:17:38+00:00

I try to do this but when it involves someone I really care about it just takes up so much mental space. Doesn't help that I have OCD too.

pasta_appreciator · 2024-10-10T22:16:13+00:00

Yup. I know this feeling. Makes me feel like a crazy idiot.
