'A glitch in the system that accidentally FIRES an employee feels outlandish': Man discovers he was fired, but never actually told

Investing your time and energy into a job means you deserve to be told if things aren't working out. Discovering that you've been terminated without a formal explanation or exit interview is beyond unacceptable. Getting fired is terrible, but it's even worse when your boss doesn't have the decency to tell you to your face. 

One man on Reddit shared his story about getting fired from work without warning after seeing that status on his work profile. He assumed it was simply a glitch in the system since no one had given him an update about what was happening. He also revealed that his company has been known to fire people in shady ways in the past. 

On some occasions, they waited until employees showed up to work to fire them as soon as they walked through the door to start a shift. Now, he's part of that cliche. Redditors who responded in the thread are highly annoyed by the way OP's company runs things.
