Today, HR sent a review email to me asking me to anonymously tell them about my boss. I decided to use this opportunity to tell them what a dick he was. I printed off the review, filled it out, then scanned and emailed it to myself. Or so I thought. Turns out I'd sent the review to my boss. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was frustrated at work so to have fun, I wrote an email to myself saying that I was great and loved myself and should relax. I used all different colors and fonts. Instead of hitting "delete", I hit "print" without realizing. My manager got it out of the printer and put it on my desk. FML
Today, I sent my resumé to a former coworker to get some pointers, except that I sent it to his old work email account and now my boss knows I’m looking for a new job. FML
Today, I received an email from my boss telling me how appreciated I was and how valuable I am to the company. I wish I hadn't scrolled down to read the included conversation where he asked his boss whether to lie to me about how good I was or not. FML
Today, my boss made me type up my own written warning, where I had to trash myself and describe my own "shocking incompetence". All the department heads are going to receive a copy of this. FML
Today, I emailed my fiancé the assignment that I was handed for a journalism job interview, asking for him to take a look and give opinions about it. I accidentally e-mailed it to the job interviewer. She responded, and even CCed it to the CEO. FML
Today, I found a website that lets you write an email to yourself from "the past". I used my boss's address, and wrote a long email about how much I hate him, signed from me. It worked, and he'll receive it in 6 months, after I move away. He's already received the confirmation email, though. FML
Today, my boss asked for recommendations on how to improve the office. I sent her an e-mail full of my ideas. Later, my boss sent me a reply, saying, "Here's what head office thinks of your ideas." It contained a list of insults upper management made about me. FML
Today, I (admittedly dumbly) AI generated pictures of my boss as a joke with my coworkers. They asked me to send them to them but instead I ended up sending it to my boss. A bunch of them were him extremely obese or with his ass out. I can't unsend. FML
Today, I accidentally posted an extensive, negative review of the gynecologist I visited earlier this week. I messed up and posted it from my work's customer service email, so now it looks like the large, well-known company I work for had a poor gynecological experience. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe your boss is hard on you because you make careless mistakes like this?

#1 I'm not. If I was sending an email like that I'd make damn sure it was to myself.

I still feel really bad for op. Yes he made a mistake, but this mistake will probably cost him his job. And it sucks to lose a job. So yes, I do feel bad for him/her.

#36, his name for the FML is 'jobless', so he indeed lost his job

I though the first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club?

Rule number 1 is obviously "Never let suspects stay together".

I feel like telling them sooner be being proactive about it would have been better than waiting for this email, but mistakes do happen. Hopefully you can find another, better job.

I'm sure this will look good on a job resume

Always... always double check when it comes to sending a negative review about your boss or anyone who controls your work life.

You should always double check. Not just in this situation.

YDI on this one, sorry but how you didn't make sure that a message like that wouldn't reach your boss's e-mail? Should have double checked to be sure. Well I hope you can get another job soon though.
