Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML
Today, I discovered that my boss listens to the things we say about him on the audio-enabled cameras at our work. I'm thus currently jobless. FML
Today, I fell asleep while on the toilet at work. When I woke up, I tried to quietly sneak back to my desk, only to be caught by my boss. He immediately sent me packing and gave his "best wishes" for me in the unemployment line. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I was at work when a co-worker decided it would be funny to email me from my boss's computer to tell me I had been laid off. It wasn't funny when I was fired for real after "skipping work without giving notice." 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 told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, one of my co-workers was fired after my manager discovered him pissing in the office coffee pot. I had three cups before I found out what had happened. FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can actually prove that you did not send that if you can find yourself on a building camera away from the computer at the time

LOCK THE CONSOLE WHEN YOU WALK AWAY! Some jobs say if it was done under your name, badge, email, etc, you didn't protect your identity and the blame is yours. You can fight the firing, but unless surveillance shows you walking to the restroom time stamped with the email's time, or the ****** that hijacked the console, you may not be as to prove you never wrote that.

Are there cameras in the building? If so you could prove you were in the restroom when the email was sent, you might even get a picture of who actually sent it.

YDI for not locking your computer. Windows+L is all it takes.

You always lock your computer when you leave it for security reasons....... at least that's what they told me when I worked for dell

Perhaps you can explain to the boss that you're not quite stupid enough to send such an email from your own computer.

I don't know how you could have possibly deserved this, OP.

No offense, OP, but... I work in IT. Any company that provides company email to their employees has a security policy in place, and that includes locking your computer whenever you leave it, even if it's only for a few minutes--to prevent things like this from happening.

I would sue for wrongful termination. All you need is some proof you left the building as every buisness has cameras and get to a lawyer asap. Then hunt this MOFO down and ruin his life

Not locking the computer before leaving the workstation is a sackable offence at some companies.
