Miss

[hzimmermann]

I was let go today at work, and the reason I was given is that I had 10 absences, however my time and attendance shows accurately that I had three absences over he period. My boss had been constantly telling me what a good job I was doing, and I continually received bonuses. However, I started this job about 2 months ago, and had been asking my boss for some training on the programs I was involved in. When she did not respond I asked the office manager to address this issue, as I felt I always trying to figure out what was expected, without any guidance. I had never been spoken too, about my performance, and it was maintained daily that I was doing an exceptional job. Then half way through the day, I was let go for missing ten days of work. Do I have any legal recourse in this matter

The simplest answer is no. Employers can dismiss employees at will - no explanation necessary.

Missing even three, let alone ten, days in your first two months of work is not a good sign. Many employers would have fired you for that, no matter how good a job you were doing. There is no requirement that they bring the issue to your attention before taking disciplinary action.
