Negligent boss fires former employee two years after he resigned: 'Your employment [...] is being terminated for job abandonment'

Imagine quitting your job, moving to an entirely different city, and then two years later, hearing back from your former employer that you've been fired. Come again? If you were expecting anything from this guy, it was probably a message wishing you well, or perhaps even asking for recommendations or requesting a personal non-work-related catchup. Instead, of all things, it was a letter of termination on the grounds of "job abandonment."

The Redditor mentioned that their former boss was a bit disorganized, which sounds like the biggest understatement I've heard in quite some time. The first offense was when the Redditor was still working at the company and was injured on the job. His boss took forever to make sure he was properly compensated and that his medical bills were covered. That experience likely motivated his choice to run away from that company as quickly as possible, so he did. He got a job in a different city, put in his letter of resignation following all the proper channels, and fully moved on with his life.

So how could this negligent boss have messed this up? The original poster revealed in a comment that he wasn't a salaried employee and it's not like he was receiving pay after he quit, so there was simply no sign of this coming. Our main take on this is that HR is definitely up to something fishy here for their official records. The good news, and something the Redditor should remember, is that this bears no effect on his future employment.
