It's sucks when bullsh1t and politics are more important than things like productivity and profitability.
Productive employees that can exceed quotas and make a company money are becoming rare.
I worked for a company like this once. It didn't matter how much money I made the company. They were worried about how well I could make others feel.
It sucks to lose a job but its probably not where you want to be long term anyways.

Good luck finding a good job bro. Getting laid off sucks.
Use it as a learning experience:
Still on probation and already coming in late - strike 1
Text instead of phone call to inform boss - strike 2
Smart ass email about planning sickness in future - strike 3
Telling HR you went to labor board and they were wrong and they owe you money - strike 4 and 5
Yer out!
Hiring a new guy is always risky. Probation is to find out how you will like them. What does a boss like? The invisible employee. He works, he goes home. The boss doesn't hear him ask for anything, doesn't hear his personal problems, doesn't have to cover for his absense, doesn't get messages or phone calls from him, doesn't hear complaints from other employees about him etc.
After this incident (even though it started out minor), they didn't want to take the risk of being stuck with a pain in the ass.
Better way to handle it, don't be late! But if you have to be, call boss, apologize 15 times, and thank her 15 times if she accepts your lateness this one time. Then tell her it won't happen again. Then tell her you are sorry for the short notice.
Then do a good job, day in and day out until they stop worrying about you and accept you. Then, occasional sickness or lateness becomes much less of a big deal.

I've been seeing this happen in the medical field lately too. If the best doctor or surgeon is an asshole or difficult to work with (ie. they don't suffer fools well, and will let the fools know they are fucking idiots when they fuck up), they eventually end up losing privileges at hospitals (essentially getting forced out or "fired"). Then they bring in another doc/surgeon who is more sensitive and makes everyone they work with feel good and people love him/her. If that doc/surgeon always fucks up, doesn't matter...they're a pleasure to work with. That other doc always made sure everything they did was perfect, but they weren't always a pleasure to work with.
As a patient, I know which doc I'd rather have. But lately the care of the patient seems to be taking a back seat to how the other docs, nurses, techs, and other people working there feel.
