Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, my boss found out that my girlfriend dumped me. He asked if that meant she would no longer bring her delicious homemade cookies to the office. When I said yes, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I missed my shift at work. I had asked my girlfriend, who works at the same store, to text me my schedule. She sent me the wrong hours for today. I got suspended, and she broke up with me for being too irresponsible. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me by text for another man while I was at work. While I worked the drive-thru, a customer noticed me choking back my tears and said "I'd be cryin' too if I worked your dead-end job." FML
Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, my boss decided our 4 year relationship was unethical, so she broke up with me, then terminated my employment. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML

Wow today is not your day, but I'm pretty sure that is not legal.

Go to HR. If he had no other reason than your ex telling him to fire you, go to HR.

What a dumbass boss. I mean, he may be completely in his rights to fire you, but thats the type of stuff that sends someone over the edge.

In Canada, it is illegal to fire someone without reason after a 90 day "trial."

I didn't notice the Canada tag... That's cool. OP, SUE THE SHIT OUT OF EM! TAKE ALL HIS POUTINE AND TOQUES!

Hang in there OP. Soon you'll be the one she regretted leaving, and you'll have a better job with a better boss. Hope everything works out for ya.

I'll quote deadpool. "Kill him" "kidnap her"

OP needs to follow the advice of Mr. Pool.

I'd sue cause i really doubt they can do that, and sue her for doing that and cheating.

That's technically illegal. I wouldn't want to work there anymore but you should still talk to someone about that

If you don't understand the law, quit saying it's illegal. You sound stupid. If OP lives in an at will employment state, he's screwed and his boss is safe, at least from a legal standpoint.

Take your own advice, op is from Canada, so not a State. Also, that is illegal in Canada.

Seeing as my app doesn't display the location, it was reasonable to assume that the post was from the US, as the vast majority of posts are.

There's still many FMLs from all over, enough to make it dumb to assume.

22, you could have looked at half of the comments that were posted before yours to find that the OP is from Canada. Or you could take your own advice and not comment when you don't understand the law as it pertains to the OP. :)

Isn't that illegal????

That is such bullshit. There's a special place in hell for people like your ex. I hope you find someone worthy of you in the future op, and I hope you can get a better job as well
