God, Why did I get FIRED?

Before judging me, please read my entire post.



I got hired to be an entertainment host aboard Disney Cruise Lines way back in June. They told me it could be a while before they started my paperwork. Then in September they told me they wanted me to start for them November 13, 2010. I was so excited. At last, a new job to start! I am almost 30 and bored with my current job I've been with for more then 4 years. Since Disney is known for being organized, and since I had already passed my Medical %26amp; Background checks, I decided to give my current job a notice in advance, for middle of October. That would give me a month off to stay settled, spend time with family. And I had enough savings for a month to live off of.



Around end of September, Disney called me again saying they could actually start me earlier! October 20th they had a spot open for me on the Disney Wonder. I was so excited! Now I could leave earlier. Because I am in a lease with my apartment, I sublet the apartment to my friend to stay in for the rest of October and through the 6 months I would be at sea.



2 weeks later, early October, Disney called me AGAIN to tell me to not worry about the October 20th date, and that they were pushing my date back to December 15, 2010! WTF?! I told the CEO of Recruitment on the phone "Look, uh, I already gave notice at my job and also sublet my apartment. Can't you just keep my date as is?" They wouldn't do a damn thing.



Furious, I threatened to sue them and yelled at the man telling him he was a jerk and bastard for lying to me. I received an email three days later telling me I was no longer in contention for a position as entertainment host. Wow. So because THEY lied to me and I blew off a little steam, I got fired before even starting. Now I have no job because my current employer wouldn't accept another notice- they said it was "too much paperwork". And my friend now resides in my apartment for 6 months. I have to move back to my family's and look for a stupid job I will hate because I went to school for theater and so I don't want a regular 9-5.



1) Why did this happen to me? If you were in my position, you'd understand. They KEPT changing the date on me! It's not my fault! I assumed they were telling the truth. Is this NORMAL for cruise lines to do with staff?



2) Why did they fire me after all that tossing around. Can I still sue them for lying to me about starting with them?God, Why did I get FIRED?
You got fired because you yelled at the guy. You demonstrated that you could not keep your cool. As a host you would have to deal with the public and sometime have to deal with angry costumers. Nobody wants to work with people who are going to yell and blow up when they feel fustrated. When you threatened to sue is when they made the final choice to let you go. Clearly any organization wants to avoid litigation.

I'm not a lawer, I would at least speak with one to see if you have a case.God, Why did I get FIRED?
It may have been your threat that got you fired (I don't know what you wrote, so I'm not sure whether or not it was a serious threat or not.) You can ask an attorney if you have a case for Disney firing you. If not, look for work somewhere else.
