Both of those sound very illegal and you should probably have spoken to a lawyer. I’m sure you wouldn’t have wanted to stay at those jobs anyway but you could’ve at least gotten a nice payout.

In the first case, I accepted being fired because it was attached to being paid out for 6 months and as you expected, I wasn't looking to stay anyway. I had another job lined up already as I started to look for one right after he tried to fire me the first time, which HR halted as it was an obvious violation of my nations version of the peoples with disabilities act. I made bank of that idiot.

The second one, I wasn't actually fired because of the obvious legal ramifications. And contrary to the first situations boss, the one there didn't find this inability to fire me enough of a personal insult to make it his mission of getting rid of me.
