Money and Work: How very dare you?

How very dare you?

Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML

Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward" to my boss. All I did was get him coffee and a biscuit from McDonald's to celebrate his 15-year anniversary working there. FML

Today, at work one of my co-worker was oddly nice to me; and my boss, who usually always says hi to me, didn't look or speak to me. Later that day I found out that I was going to be fired, not because my boss told me but because my picture was missing from the wall of employees. FML

Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML

Man I am sure you can explain to him that you were just trying to be nice. If he still doesn't believe you then, good luck finding a new job! Hopefully things will work out for you!

People are getting more and more jumpy and sensitive these days... As they say, kindness is seldom rewarded.

Well, I think since he fired you, you can claim unemployment. It comes out of his pocket. That totally sucks though. It sounds like you're lucky you don't work with him anymore.

Your boss should pay for your lunch once in a while, not the other way around!

Where do these bosses come from on FML another planet, are they shape shifting reptilians?

OP sounds like a **** up... He's trying to get on his boss' good side which sounds to me like he screws up all the time. His boss probably has plenty of reasons to fire him.

Wow, I think that's pretty messed up that you can just be fired in the US. In South Africa you could have nailed that boss.

You guess he assumed. Yeah, right. Maybe he doesn't like you trying to getting on his good side via bribery instead of work? I'm guessing.

Can he actually fire you for that? That's rich. You should knock some cents into him.

I've said it once i will say it again. If people are truly allowed to fire people for such trivial things the employment laws in the US must be truly obscene and rife with abuse.
