Today, I got a call from my manager saying that I won't need to work this weekend. Too bad I already cancelled a family vacation because he threatened to fire me if I didn't work this weekend. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, my manager called me to demand I come in to fix his computer, unpaid of course, since I have no overtime rate, then threatened to fire me when I said, "No chance." I’m 1000 miles away on my honeymoon and he knows this, since he granted my holiday request and congratulated me on the wedding. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Today, I called out "for personal reasons" from work because I had to study for a major test that's taking place tomorrow. An hour later, my manager called to fire me for "not taking work seriously." I then got an email telling me that the test was being postponed. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I could work this weekend, doing the work of 2 people, for almost no extra pay. I had a weekend out with my kids planned, so I said I couldn't. My boss called it a shitty excuse, yet gave a free pass to a guy who claimed he had a "phobia of working on weekends". 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, while on holiday. I got a call to let me know my job will be gone away when I return. FML
Today, I asked my bosses for three weeks off in July to go on a much-needed vacation. Their response was to fire me on the spot. My bosses are my aunt and uncle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Remind your manager to give you vacation time with extra pay. :)

That's an asshole move for your boss to make. I hate when managers are so selfish that they are not considerate of their employee's wishes. I was supposed to get a bonus at work on my most recent paycheck (Friday), but I ended up not getting it like I was told. Why? The CEO was on vacation and didn't feel like doing any work. I hope you can salvage some family-fun on the fly, OP.

I honestly don't understand inconsiderate bosses. Like, obviously they haven't been bosses their whole lives, so they must know what it feels like to have things taken away from you. If I was OP's boss I would give him a bonus or something to makeup for my mistakes. It just seems rude to do that to an employee.

He probably snorts cocaine like Colin Farrell in horrible bosses and is a complete tool bag... Lol.. Try to do something fun if you can and salvage what you can for your vacation time.

Hey, a day off is a day off. Make the best of it! (: And in the future, if you're planing something important like a family vacation, request the days off and get it approved by the manager way in advance!

My job, (when I was single) they gave all the married people the weekends and holidays off. Us singles had to work the shitty night shift hrs cause our married boss told us "They have a life and singles have nobody at home so why do you want weekends and holidays off? Besides Mondays off are just as good." -.- He was a ******** boss.
