Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML
Today, after being a resident DJ at a local club for over 4 years, I got fired. Not because I'm bad at what I do, but because my boss thinks I'm not 'having fun like the other DJs'. And by 'having fun' he means that I don't drink enough. I got fired for not being an alcoholic. FML
Today, my boss fired me for being on Facebook at work. He did it via a wall post on Facebook saying, "ur fired." Six of my friends liked this. FML
Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML
Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML
Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML
Today, the pictures from last night's party were put on Facebook. The pictures that show me getting in a drunken fight with a girl and her putting my face through the wall. FML
Today, I was fired for telling a customer's kid to shut his mouth. As revenge, I sent the CEO a picture I acquired months ago of my boss drunkenly pissing on a cow. He wrote that it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, and that I am "clearly an insufferable killjoy; a total liability to the company." FML
Today, my boss fired me. Then later on Facebook, his public status was, "Finally fired the sumo wrestler!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Because it was at HIS birthday party, even the more reason. He, himself doesn't want to be in trouble for YOUR underage drinking. Many companies have strict no-fraternizing rules. *FB destroys lives. That's why I don't own one.

Well of course you don't own facebook.

Where the hell does fraternizing come in to this? Fraternizing =/= drinking or partying. It means you can't screw your coworkers.

wow... you are really dumb for drinking underage or doing anything illegal in front of your boss. you should've already known that you were going to get fired...and then your dumb brain decided that it would be a good idea to put it on facebook??? oh and you're a girl?? have some class!! YDI YDI YDI

"Oh, and you're a girl..." Why the **** does that matter?
ashisthebomb 0
are you dumb????? it matters because girls should have more class than guys and they should be more responsible... you obviously wouldn't know what class was.. or responsibility for that matter

So you're saying that only guys are allowed to make stupid mistakes when they're young? That only guys are allowed to drink at all? We don't even know how much she drank, it might've only been one or two that wouldn't even be enough to get her drunk. Everyone makes stupid mistakes when they're young, and it's not restricted to gender. Yes, I think people should have more class than to go out and get smashed under-age and be more sensible than to post the pics, but that goes both ways. Why should only girls have to be responsible? Should guys not have to share some of it and have more class themselves?

I'm not limiting it to just girls.... I'm just saying that I wouldn't have been as shocked if it was a guy because they usually don't carry themselves as well as ladys should. I understand where you're coming from cinn and I really enjoy your comments :)

I still don't understand why "ladies should" conduct themselves any different than men. You're an idiot.

Thank you, Ashisthebomb. However, it was the way that you worded it by saying that girls should have more class, implied that you were limiting it just to girls. And you kinda are by saying that you would almost expect this if it were a guy but don't expect it from a girl. And you're also talking about how 'ladies should', when really it should be how 'people should'. If girls should have class, then so should guys. I'm not saying all people should lower their standards, it's possible to go out and have some drinks and still retain at least some class, but that there shouldn't be double standards.

Yeah, I got that, seeing as it's a carbon copy of the last comment I replied too.

YDI for taking pictures and putting them on facebook! Just because there was booze doesn't mean you HAD to drink.

This is yet another example of Facebook contributing to the eventual downfall of mankind. If you put up damning pictures of yourself, they will be seen. Expecting anything else is sheer insanity. Noone forced you to drink the alcohol, and noone forced you to post the pictures. You screwed yourself, and you deserve to go down in flames. You personify stupidity. Congratulations.

I'm sure boss is of legal drinking age so he's allowed to have booze at his party. OP never said boss gave it to her. She was stupid to drink and even stupider to post the pictures. YDI.

I love all the "well, you shouldn'ts". Life is full of "shouldn'ts" and if we listened to them all, everything would be ******* boring. I shouldn't drink occasionally, since I'm just barely not 21. I shouldn't have smoked pot a few times. I shouldn't have left my family, run off for a year and a half, then come back broke with a few college credits and some memories of working at a theme park. It sounds like no one here has /ever/ made a mistake that resulted in consequences. No one here could possibly ever find themselves in a ****** up situation and want to make an inconsequential, meaningless post on an anonymous site to feel just a little bit better. ...Jesus, I think I need more coffee this early in the morning.

Of course everyone makes mistakes. I don't think anyone here (except maybe KaySL) would ever claim to be perfect. But you also can't expect to post a story that so blatantly puts you in a bad light and expect people to have sympathy. "I drank underage, posted the pictures online, and lost my job! Boo hoo!" "Aww, you poor thing! It's ok, everyone makes mistakes! Chin up, buckaroo!" Please. OP is hanging out his dirty laundry and should fully expect the consequences of doing so.

OP put photos of them doing something illegal. And I'm not perfect either, but I accept the concequences and don't go blaming others. Of course I think it's a sucky situation for OP, but still, accepting the concequences of foolish actions is part of being an adult..

I saw "underage" and instantly clicked YDI. He's allowed to supply the booze if he's old enough to purchase them legally. You were underage. That booze was not meant for you. Don't make it seem like it's all his fault.
