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.

Haha, you shouldn't have told them you finished. You should've pretended you were working on it, but instead played solitaire all day! x]

Exactly what I was thinking. That is why our economy is failin. Because people in the USA think that everything is easy and you don't have to work hard to live comfortably in this country. But the founders of this country, the people that put the country together were hardworking relentless citizens. Now we have spoiled our people to the point that being inneficient in your job to make your job drag out and appear to be busy is acceptable. Working in manufacturing has shown me this sad reality which we are now facing. This doesn't happen in other countries where people actually care about the output of their company

I blame capitalism. Our economic system encourages us to find any underhanded way to make more money than the next guy. Sometimes the best way to make more money is to be honest and moral, but most of the time it's not. I'm gonna get flamed so hard :-P

Bull crap! That would NEVER happen. Wherever you work they would deffinetly find more work to do, there's never NO work to do.

Actually, you're wrong. The very tight credit markets have caused alot of work to dry up. From construction, to real estate, to corporate law, to the financial institutions, etc. - that's why unemployment is so high. Not enough work.

That really sucks. :[ I'm sorry. This just proves that effort and genuine hard work NEVER pay off. But on the bright side, you can probably get a better job with a more reputable company and make even more money and get a lot more appreciation. FYL and good luck!

You should try being lazier. Remember: hard work pays off later, but laziness pays off now. Or in your case, hard work doesn't pay off at all.
