Yep I guess you guys are right. Just seems super shitty to offer benefits then consistently fire people right before they kick in. I guess there are wrongful termination cases but you’d have to prove due to race gender etc. At minimum they should get unemployment

Surprised no one has mentioned calling a lawyer. Did you and the others actually do something to warrant termination? If they’re habitually firing people without cause so as to avoid giving benefits this is not only unethical and disgusting but it’s illegal. With yours and your fellow ex coworkers I say you guys got a really good chance of your employers settling out of court. It will cost them more in lawyers fees to fight a battle they know they will lose. Maybe they’ll think twice of treating future employees this way. It’s costs nothing to pick up the phone and call an employment attorney. Good luck!
