'We are going to part ways effective immediately': Employee fired for scheduling emergency appointment with oncologist

It's remarkable what some bosses think they can get away with in this day and age. There are numerous ways in which employers have tried to cover their real reasons for firing someone. They might say it's budget cuts or some sort of company restructuring. Sometimes, that may actually be the case. However, there are times when someone higher up simply does not enjoy working with you or having to deal with you in some capacity. These coworkers, bosses, HR representatives, etc. will grasp at straws until they can find a so-called legitimate reason to get rid of you. Those are the relatively smart evil bosses. The other kind of evil boss fully breaks ethical and potentially legal standards and doesn't seem to care at all.

That's what unfortunately happened to this Redditor, who was going through treatment and needed to schedule a last-minute emergency visit to their oncologist because they had a rough night.
