Manager of the year

By xmeatballx21 - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML

You wouldn't go to your job if you knew you were fired the day before. OP isn't to blame, it's the idiot boss. FYL OP.

But what he should have done is play it off. "Why did you miss work?" "Sorry, [excuse]." "Well make sure you're there tomorrow!!" "Ok." Even if they DID eventually find out, the worst they could do would be to fire him.

24 - or they could Milton OP, office space. except you run the risk of not having a glitch, and have to fight for pay. court. etc. Unless it went like this OP: what are you going to do, fire me? Boss: Yep. OP: leaves. not actually ever officially fired.

24 that would work except usually the boss that is in charge of employees and attendance isnt in charge of writing the checks so the OP would be working for free.

Op, you should have said "sorry, your loss. Guess you never know what you got until you fire it."

It's spelled "through" in that context. Hope you aren't trying to impress potential employers with your spelling.

In real life, it is always better to have an idiotic boss, trust me. When you start having a real job, you will understand.

No a smart boss who knows what he's doing will always be the better option. I'd rather do it right the first time and unfortunately if you don't know this you might want to get a serious job

but... you are not the lawyer... so, how can you say their bakery is dumb? you sound like an entitled trust fund baby... unless you meant dumb and in mute, then yes it most likely is... as it is a bakery, not a living being...
