Employee finds his job posting online, goes to HR and gets boss fired: 'Maybe you aren't a good fit here'

It's been said many times, but documenting your employer's unprofessional behavior is the best way to protect yourself down the road. Even if you think you are safe and have job security, you never really know when you have an erratic boss.

However, one thing that almost always works in the employee's favor in these situations is that these horrible bosses are not necessarily as good as crossing their T's and dotting their I's. For instance, if you're starting to worry that you might get unjustly fired in the near future, you might not be as doomed as you think if you've been collecting evidence of your boss's total lack of professionalism. At least, that's what happened here.

Although this was a rare occurrence, it is worth acknowledging that the only reason this employee was able to advocate for himself when his job was on the line was that he had been protecting himself for months, long before he caught wind that his boss was looking to replace him.
