Same thing different taste
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML

Playing with fire
Today, my boss called me to inform me that I'm being laid off. In my ensuing fit of rage, I deleted the recent project I've been working on for weeks. Pretty soon after, he called me back to let me know it was a prank. FML

Atleast now OP can hopefully work for someone more mature and isn't a complete douche
littlem91 29
Agreed. The maturity is definitely not with him. Though OP could work at McDonald's and his boss be a 19 year old manager with the IQ of a turnip. If the ex-boss has a boss you can contact, see if you can use the text to get him fired for lack of professional conduct.

As a 19 year old manager at McDonald's, I would like you to know my IQ is slightly higher than that of a turnip lol
littlem91 29
Just because you are intelligent, it definitely doesn't mean all are. I've met one before. It scared me. Seriously, the boss text fired him and ended it with lmao, the stupidity is fairly obvious. I didn't mean all McDonald's workers were stupid, plus McDonald's was just an example.

I come back after a while only to find that people still aren't able to understand the concept of sarcasm on this site. But sorry OP. Hope you find someplace better.

All hail the manager at #22 (Can I get a free cone?)
beerlaoisawesome 10
I really can't understand how so many assholes make it to manager. They wouldn't last five minutes in my game! Good luck OP. I hope it pans out well for you.
Catahoulaqueen_fml 17
Free cones for all if you can find me!! haha and 25, how on earth would a dumb manager at McDonalds scare you? did they brandish their nametag at you?
pinkster2014 25
Yeah I agree with #1, that wasn't very nice of him to do that. What's so funny about being laid off?? And who lays someone off via text message? That's very informal.

@The McDonalds Manager, Thanks for making me rofl quite literally :D
dontkilljay 14
What a dick. Good luck in this job market, OP :/
Shadowsofthedead 10
Hopefully in finding a new job, you'll find yourself some better management.
zandalee 19
Can't you report this total dick or something?! Surely you had a contract OP. If you did, go animal on this ********.

Well that's just inappropriate.

I don't know why you for thumbed down, it is. It's highly unprofessional. Even an email (without slang) would be better.
colton_colton 50
I agree 23. Nearly anything is better then some text. Using any slang at all, especially lmao, is beyond immature and unproffesional.
buttcramp 21
I totally agree! I'd get on the phone with the boss' boss and inform him/her of the lack of professionalism.
Sports_guy3 28
Plot twist: OP's boss was trying to be more 21st century by using slang.
crazytwinsmom 25
Plot twist, the boss' initials are lmao.
colton_colton 50
Other plot twist: the boss is just an immature jerk!

Colton... That was pretty dumb.

Sorry 3, as inappropriate as it was what the boss did, this FML still made me lmao

You should have sent a pic of your middle finger
mattrd_fml 31
and include the caption "lmao."
alycion 38
I would have sent one of my bare ass with kiss it.

Depending on the circumstances said boss may have liked that pic. And then stored it in a folder named "Tax Stuff" so his wife wouldn't get snoopy.
JustinKirby 20
Seriously? Sounds like your boss is pretty damn immature. Must have been terrible working for that asshole goodluck OP
OctoDope 15
Well maybe This could have happened. The boss sent a very heartfelt message kindly letting OP down and then ended with a good time that happened at the office to lessen the blow that ended with lmao. Thats one take on it as we should not jump to conclusions that the message said "your fired lmao".

Some bosses are just assholes.
rapunzel3416 28
I completely agree. I was fired from my coaching position because a mom of a player wanted my job.

I heard people were getting fired through Facebook posts now. It is a sad thing.

Twitter is such a waste. I love how anyone can impersonate someone's email address on there and twitter support won't do shit about it. Even if it costs you a job. Didn't you say twitter at first?
1947Chevy 17
And that's why I don't use twitter anymore

There was a story about that in my local paper yesterday. Apparently, one restaurant keeps its roster on Facebook, of all places, and when one of the staff rang up to ask why she wasn't on the roster, she was told she no longer had a job and should hand in her uniform. Completely disgraceful, if you ask me.
Sports_guy3 28
A new way to keep track of your workers. Coming to a restaurant near you.

A station I once worked at had a pretty ass way of firing people. They would remove your code from the door lock and post a sign saying don't let this person in the building. Sucked especially hard for the morning show people who discovered they were fired when they would show up in the middle of the night to start their shift.

What a douche replay with FYB

Kick him the crotch on the last day! The satisfaction will be beyond measure!
alex_gen 39
If he's that immature, I wouldn't trust his views as your employer. Try bringing it up to his boss or the executive board. He's more than likely trying to fire you for no reason, but to laugh at your misfortune.
