Today, I had an offer for a job, and was going to receive the offer letter… only if I would postpone my oncologist appointments. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I received a rejection letter from a job I desperately wanted. Yesterday, the job offer I'd been stalling on in while waiting for news about this one expired. FML
Today, I got a great job offer but things are constantly changing at my current position due to COVID. So I was honest and told them I wanted to see what my employer could offer. They took back their offer and gave it to someone else. FML
Today, I had to turn down a job offer that would have been perfect for me because post-Covid fatigue syndrome is kicking my ass. FML
Today, I got a call and was offered a position with a company that I really wanted to work for. I just had to wait a week to confirm that everything was good to go. Ten seconds after ending the call, they called back and said that they'd called the wrong person. The offer was for someone else. FML
Today, I was offered a job. It only took me a year and 17 interviews to get an offer, and I have a PhD. FML
Today, after having tried for months to get a promotion at work, I finally had an interview for a higher position. Everything went great, and I was told I would get a call next week for my second interview. I went back to my desk, only to get an email stating they're canceling the position. FML
Today, I was told a job offer that would've changed my life had been taken back, due to one part in the onboarding process. I’ve already sold my car, ended the lease to my apartment, and purchased a non refundable plane ticket. With little to no money and the Christmas break coming soon, I feel like I’m going to die with no backup plan. FML
Today, after constantly checking my email for a week, I finally got a letter saying that I was accepted to take a test for a job position. The only problem is I was scheduled to test today, eight hours ago. FML
Today, I was turned down from the dream job that I was promised two years ago, once my chemo and radiation therapy was finished. His excuse? He never actually expected me to survive. FML
Today, my doctor's office called to reschedule. I hate sacrificing work time at all, but I have to have my contraceptive. The appointment had been set back once already due to insurance issues, and having to wait until November means I'm going to run out… so now I sound like a drug addict. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That seems illegal. What kind of job is this? Are they a crackpot "alternative" medicine cancer cure and your seeing an actual physician negates their fraud?

You have my sympathy. I assume since you have oncologist appointments you were diagnosed with and being treated for cancer. I went through that also about 3 years ago. Chemotherapy, if you are going to be undergoing that is a tough experience for most people, myself included. But most cancers are no longer a death sentence and you can fully recover. In the meanwhile, if I might suggest - Now is not a good time to change jobs unless you are not currently employed or your current work situation is bad. Cancer treatments are difficult and you will be needing the understanding of your employer and from time to time might be unable to work. That’s a time when it is good to be already valued as a current employee instead of just having begun your job and are trying to prove yourself. Different people have different experiences. Hopefully you will have an easier time than I did. But right now you need to focus on getting through the treatments and beating cancer.

Seriously? That seems highly illegal. And to be honest would you really want to work for people who'd ask you to do that?
