Calling you tomorrow *Tomorrow* no call *next day, for a week* no call. I go to the office to talk to him. boss: I have a meeting, I have to run. I'll call you when I get back. And he still haven't call me back, and I have no idea why I got fired.

Your ex-boss is a liar and a weasel who doesn't even have the guts to fire you himself.

As surprising as it may seem, this is far more common than you might think. Welcome to the club (ie. Real World)! Now, that you know how to spot a liar: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar.html http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_... and weasels: 1986 - Work is Hell from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_in_Hell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_in_Hell The best for you is to move on without any worries, and never look back! (Matt and the TED talks use the word walk away ...or run :)
