'Got fired and was told that I’m easily replaceable. So I fixed that': Fired worker takes $60k client from old job

When a job wants to fire an employee, they'll come up with just about any excuse to let them go. Thanks to the current state of labor laws, they don't even need a very good excuse to send an employee packing! They can put them on PIP for a few weeks before firing them. They could make up an excuse, like saying they missed a critical deadline or were impolite to a client. Or, like this person's workplace, they could be even more ridiculous than that. 

One thing you never want to be told in a job is that you're replaceable. We all know it — of course you can be replaced by someone. After all, someone had your job before you. But to be reminded of this is rather unpleasant, and it's kind of like a veiled threat. 

Next up, read about the job interviews that were full of red flags, like one person who couldn't believe that "The manager… showed me YouTube videos for like 30 minutes."
