Today, after starting a new job, having two ovarian cysts rupture and been in and out of the hospital twice in a week, I'd been told that I couldn't work, needed surgery, and could lose my ovary. I’m 23. I was told that my job was secure and not to worry. I received my termination letter. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that at my work they are cutting one and a half of our departments, and I might need to find a new job. The problem is it's going to be really hard to get new job, as nowhere will want to hire someone who needs surgery. FML
Today, I had an ovarian cyst rupture at work, causing sudden severe stomach cramps; this caused my bowels to release everything right then and there, while on the phone with a customer, in the middle of the call center surrounded by 200 other sales reps. FML
Today, after going through a surgery related to my ovaries, having a life-threatening complication during the surgery due to anesthesia, and my doctor warning me about future infertility, a friend told me that no one would marry me now, since I have stretch marks and stitches marks on my abdomen. FML
Today, I found out I need surgery for a hernia that blew up after working out. I’ve been working out constantly to keep my mind off of my ex, who was the right person at the wrong time, and now I can’t even do that. FML
Today, I was told I'll need a hysterectomy. I'm barely 22. My doctor said "You probably wanted kids, huh? That's gonna be rough!" FML
Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my 6 ovarian cyst rupture. The pain meds have already worn off and my vag hurts. I also had my gallbladder removed last June, and my right ovary removed last January. The staff here remember me. Most expensive friends I've ever had. FML
Today, I had to quit my dream job, due to an injury I received at work over two months ago not fully healing. Not only do I really need the money, I’ll never find something I love doing so much, or a better group of coworkers. FML
Today, I had a seizure at work and had to go to the hospital. I'd saved up a bunch of money and was on the verge of moving out at the embarrassing age of 26, but thanks to lackluster health insurance, I lost all of my money and am now in debt. I also now can't drive for six months. FML
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
Today, I'm in hospital after having surgery for a broken leg. I’m maxed out on Endone and still in pain. Work have said that I’m on the roster next week and I’ll be fired if I’m not there. My wife said that she is going to have some "me time" for a few days when I get home from my "holiday". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sweetie, talk to an attorney. There are laws in place to protect people from stuff like this. It's very likely thry are violating certain laws. But you only have 180 days from termination to file for wrongful termination with the EEOC! File now jist to get in before you miss the deadline, then go talk to an attorney who specializes in EEOC or employment law.

Best wishes for your health to improve. There will be more job opportunities but health is more important.

I’m 66. And have been retired, from the office, since I was 59. I’m glad I was more than financially able to retire early. I worked for it. One of the many things that made me retire early is that jobs expect you to be loyal to them. But not visa versa. I also could also no longer tolerate the politics. The back stabbing. And the people who got promoted were the ones that gave the best blow jobs. I’m glad I retired early and don’t miss it. Find something you’re really good at and become self-employed. That’s the best way to do it. It’s unfortunate that usually the best lessons aren’t learned until later in people’s careers. I hope I helped you out a little.

Things will turn around for you. I'm a Migerian prince and my family has millions we need to move to a US Bank. Send me your routing and account numbers and you'll soon be rich. See how things get better?

Oh well. That's life. If you can't work, no one will keep you on the payroll.

Honestly I’m not surprised. Companies these days are so greedy and don’t care about shit. I have been harassed and treated like shit for this company so desperate for workers, that after 2 weeks of me not answering their calls reaching out, they still want me to come in so they can leave me in charge of the store alone again even tho I had no training and had to keep sending people to the other register.

Companies don't care about employees just the bottom line. The almighty dollar. Some states can fire you for no reason...
