Today, I asked my boss for a raise, explaining that another shop offered me a job at a higher rate, but I would stay if he would offer me the same. Instead, he fired me then called the other shop and said I was fired for failing a drug test. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I got fired for failing a drug test for weed. My boss is the one who sells me weed. FML
Today, I was told I would not be getting the job I was offered because I failed my drug test. They never gave me a drug test. FML
Today, my coworker paid me back the $15 I let him borrow and we shook hands. Later, I was called into my boss's office, where he threatened to fire me for doing a drug deal in front of customers. The police are getting involved. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss decided to have the whole staff drug tested and fire everyone who failed. Out of an original staff of 14 people, only my boss, two coworkers and I remain. I now have four times my normal workload and am seriously thinking maybe I should've said "Yes" to drugs. FML
Today, I walked into my boss's office to ask for a raise, and walked out unemployed. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. 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, I asked my boss for a raise. I pointed out that due to a technicality, if he hired someone to replace me, he'd have to pay them more anyway. He said he'd gladly pay more for "someone who knows his goddamn place" and made it clear I'll be jobless very soon. FML

Your boss is an asshole! There has to be someone you can contact because he is out of line.

Sue for slander! I'm not a "sue-happy" supporter, but it seems your professional reputation is at stake, and that's priceless.

That's illegal I believe.

Take your former employer to court and sue him for defamation of character and unfair dismissal. He won't be able to produce the failed drug test so it should be a pretty easy win. Of course I am commenting under the assumption that you didn't actually fail a drug test.

Oh, come on! You even offered to stay for crying out loud. Plus, it's not like you were actively seeking employment with this other place.

If that's true, get a lawyer. It's illegal for him to tell them that, even if it's true. If it isn't, he committed slander as well.

I'd take him to court and sue the bastard.

Yeah, that's pretty much illegal. I'd contact your state's department of labor.

WHOAH! That's crazy! You should be kinda glad because you can actually sue him for slander and get a lot of money! You can sue him and his company and probably get a whole year or more worth of whatever salary you would have made at the job you were fired from.

He can get fired for that and you can sue him. Next time don't tell who the other shop is. I hope you get hired at the other shop and that they know what happened. Still try for the other one and sue the **** out of your previous boss.
