Thanks, I hate this
Today, after being told two weeks ago that my contract would be renewed, my boss managed to tell me that actually he had other applicants for the job. I will be let go, but he offered me two months extra so I could finish the projects he had me working on. 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 came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. FML

Late stage capitalism
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. 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, it's been less than a week since I finally got a job, after over a year of searching. I just found out that there's about to be a wave of layoffs. I haven't even gotten my first paycheck, and already I'm going to lose my job. FML

I wish road workers had that kind of motivation so they would get off their asses and fix up all the roads they tear apart.

I learned long ago, "Don't paint yourself out of a job." If you have a deadline, either meet it or let it slip a bit, but NEVER finish early. You'll only get more work and less time to do it for the same pay. Also, when a date is assigned for a project, your manager is telling you when he or she is ready for it. Premature projaculation is disease of young men that gets cured over time.

Also, it is not politically wise to finish a project early. Your career will be highly affected by your ability to work with others, in contrast with your education which is judged almost exclusively on your individual achievement. Your co-workers are going to hate you if you finish your work before the deadline because you are going to make them look bad right away, and you might cause the managers to allow less time for future projects. There is really no benefit to finishing a project ahead of time. There is also no benefit to coming in WAY under budget, but that is a different lesson. Enjoy unemployment, jackrabbit/jackass!

If your co-workers can't keep up then they SHOULD look bad because they are. They deserve it for being slow/lazy and unskilled.

Don't forget you also have to coexist with them in the same office for 8-10 hours/day

Look on the bright side- You might make more off of unemployment! You get to live off of taxpayers' money now. FYL for being productive, F taxpayers lives for having to deal with your boss's stupidity.

I have NEVER heard of someone being fired for finishing something early. Wow...shouldn't finishing a project early be a good thing? It means you actually work hard and manage your time well!

Luckster. Sometimes people are hired for a project and when it is done, they are done. Also, "laid off" is different from "fired." Laid off means that if there is not work to be done, they don't need you. The OP DIDN'T manage his time well.
