Employee gets falsely accused and fired after asking for a raise when they hadn't gotten one for 3 years: ' I asked why I was fired, and he still wouldn’t even give me a reason'

The modern career landscape really keeps you on your toes. Skills that were essential ten and even five years ago are quickly becoming obsolete. This constant shifting of the very foundations of work has made adaptability, which used to be just a buzzword that everyone threw on their CV, the most important skill that one can possess. Beyond that, when it comes to job security, having a career and position that is similarly adaptable and a flexible job description can mean the difference between moving forward or being laid off. This all still requires an employer who is capable of recognizing that your capabilities, efforts, and achievements extend beyond a simple job description and that wherever the future leads, they know they want you on their side of the court. 

Of course, you might think that you're doing everything right and find yourself being sent back to the drawing board all the same.

This employee had been at this company for nearly 3 years, finding themselves overworked and underappreciated nearly that entire time. They found the courage to ask for a raise, but instead found themselves on the wrong side with management. Their boss and the owner quickly found a way to be rid of them with false accusations that called into question their work ethic.
