Should I admit I was fired?
At my last job, I was fired. I caught Epstein Barr virus - its a virus that leaves you bed bound for 2-3 weeks, and takes at least 6 weeks to fully recover from. The first day I caught it, my boss caught me in the break room for 2 hours and wrote me up. I didn't show up the next day as I was admitted to the hospital. I went to HR and tried to explain the situation and brought my note from the hospital, and I opened a claim against my boss. I was supposed to talk to the Director of HR in the evening, but he never spoke to me and ignored my email. My boss had to attend a sensitivity training workshop, and he fired me the next day for "performance".
How do I explain this in job interviews? Should I mention this on applications?

you might be able to file a lawsuit
Thanks for sharing. I thought about suing, but one of my friends told me that it might make me undesirable for new jobs when they conduct my background check -- even if it is justifiable.
all depends on how much money you get from the lawsuit. suggest you do one of those free consultations with an employment lawyer.
I will check... However, for the time being, should I tell employers the truth? Some ask me why I left?
