Today, my boss - AKA Satan - told me I'd better watch out, because I'm now top on his list of people to lay off next time the company downsizes. All I did was give a report to the board admitting that our sales are down this year. He blames me for making him look bad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss told me I may lose my job due to underperformance. I was shocked, as he'd previously mentioned that I was performing well, and that I was safe from the current company wide layoffs. I asked him what I need to improve on. He said that my instant messages to him are sometimes too long. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, while trying to get my boss to reconsider laying off much of my department, I accidentally convinced him to lay me off too. FML
Today, I sat in my boss's office as he bitched me out for being "too sarcastic" to our customers. After nearly half an hour of him criticizing my "piss-poor attitude," he asked me what I was going to do to fix it. Without thinking, I said, "Your mom." Now I'm jobless again. FML
Today, after coming out of a meeting during which I promised my employees better wages, I was met at the door by my CEO telling me to lay off all the employees I just talked to. FML
Today, my boss got angry at me because my English is better than his. He accused me of trying to steal his management position, and implied that I'll be lucky if I still have a job by the end of the month. FML
Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML
Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It sucks how bosses just hunt for any reason at all to fire people when the company is doing poorly. Wrong place, wrong time...

Use your experience with this boss to motivate you into finding a better job. Then when you become a boss, remember not to treat you're workers the same way.

Positivity pays off. Negativity lays off.

Well be glad you don't live in my state where it's a "fire at will state".

Find a new job! Ethics too low! This mean you will get promoted or mis- deed can have you in deep waters! I would find another job and report to HR major ethics violations, and the threat.

And he has a business in Canada! I always thought that Canada was the devils country, now I have proof.

What's the law on recording where you live? I know it varies here in the US from state to state if you can't record a conversation without all parties consent or if just one is required, if you can get that kind of statement on record that's the kind of documentation to bring right to HR.

And accomplish what exactly? Although a very douchy comment to make, it isn't really against the rules. Although you could probably go for the 'hostile work environment' case, but that is a hard one to make and rarely gets you anything...

Your boss is a total incompetent idiot. Sorry OP that you have to deal with petty mental midgets who can't sort out their priorities
