Today, I finally quit the job that I've been complaining about. Before I could tell my husband, he informed me that he had been laid off, and was thankful we still had my income. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I finally quit my job after talking with a friend about making our own design/multimedia company. While I was on my way to his house, he called me and told me not to quit because he got an awesome job offer and couldn't refuse. FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, after resigning from my current job, I was let go from the new job I hadn't even started yet. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, I gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." FML
Today, the company where I used to work at announced that there would be a staff reduction because of the low income caused by the pandemic. I just quit yesterday in favor of another job. All of my former workmates are getting paid their respective settlements because of this termination, while I'm not. FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to quit my job. I waited an hour to speak to the boss; I finally sat down with her, and she told me I had to be let go because I'm not "reliable enough." The only time I missed work was when I had the stomach flu. I was fired before I could even quit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why didnt you consult your husband before quitting?

At least you had a job! Even if it sucked, in today's economy you should have just sucked it up and looked for something better before you quit. ydi completely.

YDI first off for not talking to your significant other before doing something like that. Second, who quits their job before you have anything else lined up to do??

You quit a job in the middle of the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, simply because you didn't like it. I consider myself to be an articulate person, but right now I have no words for how unbelievably stupid and immature you are.

You quit you job without discussing it with your husband? You totally deserved it, idiot.

you really should have discussed it with your husband before you quit. YDI in that respects. If you're both paying for things together, the most polite thing to do is at least give him warning he'll be financially responsible for both of you for a while. That's kind of common sense there. If i was married to someone and we both payed the bills, i'ld be VERY angry with the fact they will just expect me to suddenly support both of us without even having the decency to discuss it with me first. And sure, she should have kept her job in this 'economic climate' but it's kind of her decision. Whether you think it's stupid, there isn't a law that says 'you have to be grateful for having a job and therefor never quit'. Seriously if someone is really suffering from depression/suicidal because of their job (speaking generally, no sure if OP actually is), i really think i wouldn't give a shit about not having any money for some time if it meant being happier and/or having my health back. plus now someone who really wants her job can have it instead. OP, i hope you thought this through... because i'm thinking you're going to struggle finding another job..

It might be her decision to quit one job without finding another first, but I feel that in doing so she loses all complaining rights.

Its called communication in a marriage . it's something you do when you make a big decision that will have an impact on him and your household. try it sometime.

you're an idiot. why would you quit, in this economy, and not have another one lined up?

that's very selfish of you. with this economy you should be thankful to have had a job. F your husbands life for having a wife who won't even discuss major decisions with him. but YDI.
