Today, my son was fired from his new job, which was going to support us since I recently lost mine. His excuse was, "Conflict of interest." He was a mascot for a fast-food restaurant and refused to dance around. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, our company's owner's son took over. The first thing he did? Fire me. Why? He said my sales are down. I work in Public Relations. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML
Today, I was supposed to train a new hire, grateful to finally have someone else here with me on my shift. He didn't show up. I found out later that his mother didn't want him working here because she thinks he's too smart for this job. I found him working at the McDonald's a few blocks away. We pay more than they do. FML
Today, I got fired from my job at a small start-up company. Why? The CEO wanted to give a job to one of his former fraternity brothers who is out of work, and they couldn't afford to keep us both. FML
Today, my mom cussed at me because I denied my struggling cousin a job at my company, and now it's my fault he and his family will suffer and starve. He was fired from his former job as a payroll officer, and is now blacklisted. Over 30 people got zero on payday, as he later went Living La Vida Loca with his "bonus". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You were going to support your family off of your son's job?

It's terrible having to ask a child to get a job to support his parents. It's worse still asking him to do something humiliating like that. Try to have some understanding, and next time have him get a better job. Like a stripper.

When he asks why he no longer has a house to live in, tell him "Conflict of interests." Fyl.

He isn't the only family member without a job. For all we know he is a 15 year old going to school. If he doesn't have a place to live the blame doesn't just fall on his shoulders. Who are the parents and who is the kid?

I don't think that's what that means.

It is not the childs responsibility at any point to support his or her parents. Is it your house? They have to follow your rules? Then it is your ******* responsibility.

Well sounds like it'd be a bad move to kick the kid out if he is the only one capable of earning an income of even a fast food mascot.. Tho apparently not for long. I wonder how much of a **** up the parents are to have to rely on that. Economy be damned they should never suck from their kid. Maybe if that part time minimum wage job was what the parents were relying on they should be the ones out there doing it instead of complaining they now will have no money when they are the ones not working as well. I mean obviously they lost their jobs first and haven't been productive enough to get a better one than the kid. I could rant more, people like that just piss me off.

<Implying the father doesn't deserve to be helped by the spawn he raised for approximately 18 years.

<Implying that the OP is a father despite the fact that it clearly says (woman), also implying that the parents didn't ask for said spawn in the first place, ALSO implying that the son is 18 when he could easily be as young as 16>

Good point! ;)

Thank you! You should not be reliant on your children to support you, especially if it involves required humiliation.

What if the mother was trying as hard as she could to find another job, but needed a bit of help while she was doing that. Also, what if the son was older than 18, and was still living in his parents house, it would make sense that he should help out a bit.

Lazy bastard

I wouldn't dance either...people that do that get made fun of all the time. It's sweaty enough already lets just add dancing into the mix. Maybe he was trying his hardest to help but and he honestly couldn't stoop that low, and he shouldn't have to..he's not the parent..
lucyisbae 18
Unless of course he is older than 18, and still living in his parents house. Then it would make sense that he should help out a bit.
tiggerlover100 27
Yeah #154 but that doesn't mean he should support the entire family. Maybe helping with a few bills or groceries some times but definitely not the entire household.

Why'd he even apply for that job then?
alexup24 13
To wear the awesome suit?
destinee_95 2

Not the brightest sport, is he?

I don't see how refusing to dance has anything to do with his intelligence.

Man no wonder this nation is on the express route down the shitter. The kids today would all die if they would have lived during the first great depression. Yes I said first because we are now one the "second great depression" people now a days are a disgrace to their fathers and grandfathers

So you're saying a mascot for a restraunt is going to support the family because you can't keep a job?

Times are damn hard out there. Almost everyone I know is suffering financial hardship. Don't get down. Important to stay positive & work at getting another job. Good luck.
