Can someone fire you after you put in your two weeks?

Why did you get fired from your job?
I know someone who was fired from a 20 year job because he showed up to work slightly intoxicated. He was out of work for an entire year, but continued to tell interviewers the straight up truth as to why he was fired. He was finally hired by an excellent employer who decided to give him a second chance.
What happens if you get fired after 11 months?
To lure you in, they showered you with expectations of a big bonus and fancy title. But after 11 months, they kicked you to the curb because they could. Employment is at will, and they had the will to cut you loose a month before paying your promised bonus!
Do you lie about being fired from a job?
As a general rule you want to avoid admitting you were fired, but never lie about it. Many times people are unjustly fired for all kinds of trumped up reasons, or they just weren’t a good culture fit for that particular company and were “let go”.

Is it bad to leave a 2 week job?
I think it really depends on your overall work history. If you’ve been steadily employed for the last 5-10 years; leaving off a two week job wouldn’t hurt you in my opinion. If you are early in your career; then I would include it (as it shows you’re hirable ).
How did I get fired from my job?
I was shocked when I was called into HR two weeks ago and told that I was being let go, not laid off but terminated. They said that it was a general “house-cleaning” and they were letting go of their weakest employees. I was pretty insulted. I didn’t take it well.

Can a person be fired for any reason and still get unemployment?
Even conduct outside of the office, such as a problematic social media post on a personal account or committing a crime, can disqualify you from receiving unemployment benefits. Keep in mind, being terminated for cause isn’t the same as being fired for any cause.
What happens if you don’t fill out two week job application?
I add a potential pitfall that you may encounter: if at some point you may have to fill out a Job Application form, those forms usually direct List All Employment. If you do not list the two week job on that type of application, some employers in some jurisdictions could use that as ground for terminating employment.
