Man or woman?

Today, I received a mass email from my boss saying we had a position open at the daycare I work at. I knew my boyfriend was looking for a job so I insisted he apply. Later at work, my boss takes me into her office and tells me my employment is being "terminated". My boyfriend is replacing me. FML

I agree, your life sucks (43747) - you totally deserved it (2983)

hahaha that sucks FYL

#1 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:07pm by charlottex33

Wow! That really sucks
Guess you weren't doing such a good job huh?

#2 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:07pm by MukyDaCookie

What? A real FML? :O

#3 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:11pm by padlarf

Think of it as a new beginning. Use your new found free time to improve your cooking and cleaning

#4 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:15pm by quantumoftruth

You shoulda just let your bf to find his own job, YDI :)

#5 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:15pm by OrdinaryMan

if he knew it you should dump him. now.

#6 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:20pm by toolman

Hey, at least the income will still be coming in to one of you, instead of to a complete stranger. You would've been fired no matter what, better it be your boyfriend replacing you.

#7 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:20pm by mykbibby

#4 FTW!!!!
i bet he will get paid more...

let the woman power/hating begin!

#8 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:21pm by kwbuzz23wk

Agreeing with #7.

They would've fired you either way, since they were obviously looking. If you're living with him, no net loss of money.

Still, that sucks. A real FML.

#9 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:22pm by blue8795

Now your boyfriend can ride your case for not having a job. In the meantime he can insist you do the cleaning and cooking.

#10 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:26pm by I_am_stupid_also

Well now it's your turn to just sit on the couch all day and play xbox, while HE is paying rent and working.

#11 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:26pm by rukusrazor

At least you're keeping it in the family!

#12 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:31pm by thelonelylurker

lmao #8

#13 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:49pm by lol_seriously

I think this is a good thing. At least now your boyfriend has a job and will probably be getting paid the same amount and nothing will really change. At least some random person didn't get the job...

#14 - On 04/24/2009 at 2:49pm by wowfmlife

I can't belive they advertised the job BEFORE firing you. But yeah, I agree with # 14 and #7. LOL #11

#15 - On 04/24/2009 at 3:19pm by acro_actress95

and you didn't see this coming because . . . ?

#16 - On 04/24/2009 at 3:47pm by TryToBeKind

hmm. well now that you're unemployed, your bf can make it up to you by taking you out= ) He has a job after all. = ) That does suck though.

#17 - On 04/24/2009 at 3:57pm by ThatsAli3

This is delayed but um... why would she dump him? It's not his fault he got the job. Do you want them both to be unemployed?

#4/8- I happen to like cooking and cleaning. Thank you very much. But are you trying to start a riot on sexism? It's so exasperating. And he probably will get paid more, but at least then he can buy the op expensive make up gifts. (Or if he's cheap, make up sex would suffice = P)

#18 - On 04/24/2009 at 4:02pm by ThatsAli3

The OP was probably abusive to the kids I bet. Either that or she sucked at cooking and cleaning and can use this off time to work on her skills like #4 said.

#19 - On 04/24/2009 at 4:06pm by Ender_

You're were going to get fired anyway. At least it was your boyfriend who replaced you, can you can benefite a bit from that...

#20 - On 04/24/2009 at 4:31pm by Osakhomen

Ha. #4's comment made me giggle. (For the record, I'm a woman)

Women take themselves too seriously.

This does suck though. It's very unprofessional for your boss to have sent the e-mail out to everyone before even talking to you about it.

#21 - On 04/24/2009 at 4:41pm by AndelleRae

I can't believe no one's suggested the possibility that the boss wants to sleep with OP's boyfriend...

#22 - On 04/24/2009 at 5:39pm by betsymonty

Wow, that's lame.

#23 - On 04/24/2009 at 5:41pm by cant_touch_this

You deserve that one for being a bad employee.

#24 - On 04/24/2009 at 5:54pm by skierguy

you should be happy for him I would say, and get another job at some other daycare :)

#25 - On 04/24/2009 at 6:01pm by Mr_Positive

#5, you're a douche. Why not help someone you love find work? Seriously.

#26 - On 04/24/2009 at 6:38pm by jet

now you can live off his wages! although i know firsthand that daycares and preschools pay very little :(

#27 - On 04/24/2009 at 6:47pm by mattmag

haha that sucks, man :[

#28 - On 04/24/2009 at 7:04pm by Ric3ball

i think its a bigger FML that your bf works at a daycare....how embarrassing

#29 - On 04/24/2009 at 7:15pm by popsoda

Agreed regardless u were bound 2 get fired sooner or later whether it was by ur bf or not sucks 4 u, time 2 suck it up n look 4 a new job

#30 - On 04/24/2009 at 7:32pm by racist_bitch

#5, that's stupid... she wanted to help her man find a job, and it's not like she KNEW it was actually her job.

That sucks D: hopefully you find something else that is even better!

#31 - On 04/24/2009 at 8:04pm by ammali

ok, just @ 12 (who said that they're keeping the job in the /family/) and 19 (who suggested that the OP had kids w/ her /bf/, she might have, but doubt it) - WHAT PART OF BF=/= HUSBAND DON'T U UNDERSTAND??!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i am actually 12, sue me 4 acting my level of maturity)

@ OP-take care not 2 break up with him lol

#32 - On 04/24/2009 at 8:15pm by rakhil11

It's actually better that way. A relationship lives from the fact, that people don't know everything about each other. The less you see him over the day the better will it be.

#33 - On 04/24/2009 at 8:22pm by Kamicase

YDI because you should never work with your boyfriend

#34 - On 04/24/2009 at 8:37pm by ilovemycats

i dont know what you did, but God showed you. Now you must suffer the consequences of irony.

#35 - On 04/24/2009 at 11:03pm by wonnybot73

Deserved for sucking at your job ;)

#36 - On 04/25/2009 at 1:10am by Epic_Fail_Sauce

Your boyfriend now has an income, and you can college unemployment! Not all bad!

#37 - On 04/25/2009 at 1:58am by ssecnirpc

And he's taking the job? Ha. He must feel like crap. You should totally rub it in. If he asks you to cook and clean like the others mentioned, just tell him you're too depressed because he stole your job. He'll feel so bad that he'll earn all the money AND do the housework.

Your new job is to milk this for as long as possible. Oh, and get fat. You MUST get fat.

#38 - On 04/25/2009 at 3:27am by ElsBells

haha some boyfriend

#39 - On 04/25/2009 at 5:43am by dumbNdumberer

Wow, that's rude that your boss told everybody there was a position open BEFORE she told you that you were fired. But I don't think it's so bad that your boyfriend's replacing you, at least from a technical standpoint, it is a little embarrassing I suppose.

#40 - On 04/25/2009 at 5:49am by Bombercules

Look at it this way.

You're household is getting the same income and you don't have to work! I suggest you move in with your boyfriend.

#41 - On 04/25/2009 at 9:38am by MajorLeeScrewed

#32 You've to read more carefully. #19 did NOT suggest that the OP had kids. The kids #19 was talking about were the kids at the daycare where the OP worked.

I thought a 12-year-old could read.

#42 - On 04/25/2009 at 9:58am by cwdeus

That's terrible! If I were your boyfriend I wouldn't accept the job. I wouldn't feel right replacing my man at his job. I would feel pretty guilty. It's never really a good idea to work at the same place as a bf/gf or a spouse. Usually causes problems.

#43 - On 04/25/2009 at 12:32pm by monkeysss

You boss is a doucher.

#44 - On 04/25/2009 at 7:42pm by kefron

OUCH. That's harsh. FYL

#45 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:03am by kirbyviper93

true FML right here.

#46 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:10am by shorty311

lmao #22 valid point;)

#47 - On 04/26/2009 at 2:01am by footer35

im sorry hope everything works out :(

#48 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:02am by suckingatlife

uhg! that sux!
who said the OP lived with her bf? but if you do, i agree with #11! live it up! have some fun and relax all day while he gets some work done!

#49 - On 04/27/2009 at 12:37am by rt523

Ouch, I hope he didn't take the job. If I found out they fired my girl to hire me I would just say "no." It isn't a good idea to work together anyway, my ex and i worked together. It caused a lot of unneeded pressure in the relationship.

#50 - On 04/27/2009 at 8:55am by DankJemo

Poor bastard. He now has to work at a daycare with WHINEY little children. Geeze that must suck on top of his gf bitching at him fir the fact that she thinks she's better qualified...
Pttshh... Women

#51 - On 06/03/2009 at 1:37am by YouKindaSuck

Is #4 your boyfriend? Haha

#52 - On 06/03/2009 at 4:32pm by

Over here I think that would be illegal. Unless you were fired for a legit reason like misconduct.

#53 - On 07/07/2009 at 8:56pm by davek

#38 she was obviously getting fired proabbly because she's fat and lazy when it comes to her job and hygiene. so fat chance that she is gonna clean and cook, well maybe cook haha
