Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending 3 hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML

You don't learn that "let go" means fired anywhere. You're supposed to pick it up

you should grab the chair and stop very angrily out of the workplace with it

Make like a human and walk out with the chair at slow, leisurely, yet confident, pace.

Op no longer has a job for one, Not exactly a great day. Feeling like you where used first is a extra kick in the guts.

If the new chair was the highlight of your job man then you shouldn't be too sad.
Speaking of which though, your boss will probably take your new chair. Make sure you loosen a few screws...

What if the job was "Chair Maker" and they just really sucked at their job?

I dunno, maybe the job was "hair dresser" and OP decided to build a chair instead.

Unless he works at ikea, I highly doubt his boss was thrilled with the fact that he spent three hours building a chair on the clock.

If you spend three hours of your workday putting a chair together, I can sort of guess at the reasons why you were let go, to be honest...

I agree. That's the first thing I thought when I read this FML. You kinda deserve it, Op.

He was replicating the throne from Game of Thrones, and now his ruler is backstabbing his ass after he did the dirty work.

I kinda figured it had to be a throne made of FREE MONTH AOL CD's.

Exactly. And yet, very low number of YDIs... How many people are building chairs at work that they can sympathize so much?

That's the kind of positive thinking that will really chair OP up.

It was probably because of the chair situation. He most likely thought you were wasting time. Still though FYL and good luck finding a job.

Humping the chair was probably what got him fired in the first place

I hope you put together a fun spinning type chair on wheels specifically customized for you so you can at least make one hell of a downward spiral exit as you leave the building in that chair.
