My boss mistook me for someone else and brutally fired me – these are the texts she sent me after I left and cried for hours

A woman’s worst nightmare came true when she was wrongly fired for mistaken identity – and she has the receipts to prove her innocence.

Anna was thrilled to land a coveted job as a manager at a popular restaurant after five years as a waitress.

“Everything was going (fine), but when I arrived at the restaurant for a shift, my manager asked me to call her,” she shared in a post on Reddit.

‘I was still in my car and asked if she wanted me to come in, but she insisted on the call. She said she had to let me go.”

Anna was given no explanation other than a district manager claiming she had ‘broken one of their company values’ and therefore could no longer work there.

She was shocked because she lived a quiet life and could not imagine what she had done wrong.

Anna cried her eyes out at the injustice and the thought of applying for a new job.

“I tried really hard to do a good job,” she said of her first management role.

But a phone call from the district manager quickly set the record straight – and left Anna somewhat confused.

‘I was afraid to answer the call, but when I did, she apologized profusely.

‘Apparently my phone number was saved as someone else in her phone (I’ve never spoken to her), and she saw that person posting derogatory things on social media – so she called my general manager and told her to fire me.’

Her manager immediately apologized after realizing her mistake

The district manager did not realize the discrepancy until after Anna was fired.

‘It was all very strange that this all happened in one hour. “My district manager’s story didn’t quite add up, so I really don’t know what happened,” she explained.

They offered Anna her job back and she happily took it, but was tired of the ‘strange’ situation.

Anna’s manager sent her a text apologizing for the situation and promising to rectify it as soon as possible.

“Hey, I had no idea what was going on and I just did what I was told,” the post said. “I’m obviously very sorry and you did nothing wrong.

‘I completely understand if you don’t want to continue working here, because that was a huge (colossal) mistake on their part. I hate that I was the manager. I just want you to know that I’m sorry.”

A few others on Reddit shared her thoughts.

“That’s…really bizarre,” one person said.

‘Not cool and completely unprofessional. I hope you go somewhere where you are appreciated,” one man wrote.

Another said: ‘That happened to me once! There was a miscommunication about a job and my boss was about to fire me. I knew I had done nothing wrong, but what can you say to someone who won’t listen?

“I got the apology later that day (someone else was to blame), but wow, I have empathy. After that, trust also suffers. Do what’s best for you. I will never forget how toxic that experience was.”

Some gave valuable advice.

“Make sure your social media is set to private and unfriend all colleagues and managers,” one woman said.

“Make sure you don’t miss out on seniority-related bonuses, earned raises, or anything else that may have changed as a result of your start date being reset,” wrote another.
