Today, I got an email from a company that fired me over two weeks ago. It turns out they forgot to download all my work before deleting my account, and they want me to get it back off the cloud. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I returned to work after taking two days off to find I'd been fired. Why? For not being at work on those two days. Everything was agreed in writing, all trace of which has mysteriously vanished. I can't work until HR sorts it out, and nobody can tell me how long that'll take. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. FML
Today, I got a email from my boss. He said he was going to have to let me go for missing so much work over the last week. I was laid off two months ago. I don't know what is more depressing, getting fired from a job twice or the fact it took two months for them to notice I wasn't there anymore. FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, my employer fired me, less than a week before I could become permanent full-time staff. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML
Today, I worked my job then went home to enjoy my weekend. An hour later, I was called and told I was fired, without any reason given. I can’t even empty my locker, as they'd said they would mail my things to me. FML
Today, I got a new job and told everyone about it. A few hours later, I got an email from the executive saying I actually don't have the job anymore. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sure you can come to an independent consulting arrangement that will prove mutually beneficial. One way or the other they're going to pay stupid tax for being incompetent.

Tell them that would technically be a breach of your nondiscolsure agreement since you're not an employee anymore. They would have to rehire you at your choice of the highest fee possible.

I had a former employer do this i tried to help transition my users from to another colleague when i was leaving. Instead they fired me the second i handed in my two weeks notice, wiping my data instantly. When shit came crashing down, they asked if I still had my data and scripts. I quoted $350/hr with a minimum of 100 hours. The expletives they yelled were delicious, especially since i wrote all the scripts my colleagues relied on and that caused productivity to shoot up 1000% after i started there a year prior. I work for a better company, who ironically services them. The shit show i hear as an aftermath is hilariously bad as they shot themselves in the foot. Recruiters keep contacting me saying they have 10 positions open to perform the job, and when i worked there, 3 of us were able to manage everything ourselves using my improvements. So yeah, feel free to gouge for that data access. **** ‘em!
