Today, I got fired for taking time off to see my sister in the hospital after she got in a car accident. Before I got fired, I found out my boss took time off because her horoscope said she should. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML
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, I helped save three people, including a newborn, when I was sole witness to a bad car crash. My boss said that wasn’t a valid reason to be 4 hours late for work and fired me. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, I had organised to go for an all day fishing trip, but had forgotten to book a day off. I called my boss and told him that I had to stay with my mum in hospital after a car crash that she had last night. He called me a liar and fired me. Turns out my mum is having an affair with my boss. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, the day before I was supposed to go back to work after I got sick, ended up in the hospital, and primary doctor put me on medical leave, I got fired. FML
Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That can't really be a good reason to fire someone?

Tell her to shove that whoroscope up her ass and if you took a full day off to go visit someone at the hospital that's not really necessary, especially considering your job obviously isn't going that great if you get fired over something like that, so be careful next time. Sorry about your sister.

Tell your boss that his horoscope includes a painful moment in his life and then kick him in the balls as hard as you can

Horoscopes are srs bsness Complete exaggerations that you trick yourself to believe but still!

op didn't say they took the whole day off. op "took time off" which sounds like the sister lives out of town... just a guess : )

Not that this isn't a FML, it is.. and in this situation, no one deserves to be fired. Even if somehow you were, you should stand up for your liberties and not blame situations (not that it has much relevance since you were saying what happened SO FAR, just saying that you deserve it if you don't do anything about it)... the only thing that really makes this a YDI (besides protection of civil liberties) is that you clearly have such a close-minded mindset. Your boss can take personal time, therefore, he can do with it what he wants. If you're so close-minded that you clearly felt the need to mention that you judged his horoscope decision, you'll attract bad shit to you. He had no right though to fire you for that unless there are hidden details though and/or he was looking for a reason. Btw, if your boss has to take "time off" from a superior, which it sounds like... a company like that should have a human resources off... just saying. ;) But do try to be tolerant in the future.

Damn, 29, I couln't have said that better, myself. Couldn't have said it worse, either.

you should know by now that your boss's can do what ever they want cuz the only person they answer to is their boss
billyme 4
Sorry guys, I like was lost on clarity at the time. I don't know what was up... anyway, point is, kinda deserves it for being so close-minded but he definitely should be standing up for himself. Government pretty much hands everyone protection and he's not taking it.

first I would like to say, I'm not the type of person to say "you should sew them cause they _____!" normally but yes I would haveto place a law suit against them. in the military, if your sisters in the hospital you can't take time off to go see her!

What's with your same comment on every FML. If you need to go play COD instead of wasting time on this
marlaineeeee 0
This FML sounds fake and/or exaggerated. YDI OP for posting a lame FML.
aardvarkish 17
76, you're way wrong. The US military is great about letting you take time off to go see family in need. My brother and I are both in the army and when I was sent to the hospital at Ft. Lewis, WA after getting wounded by a roadside bomb, the army had already flown my brother from Ft Bragg, NC to meet me there.
marlaineeeee 0
hahah my comment got moderated for saying OP exaggerated. ha! laaaame. well anyway, you still deserve it for not being completely clear on your companies policies and not double checking for permission to take time off. sooooooooo, you're fault for not clarifying.

FML(A) - Family Medical Leave Act. Siblings count as immediate family, even if you do not live in the same household.

#19 My experience with horoscopes haven't been good. They tell me that I'm a quiet peaceful person and I'm going to be associated with good people my whole life. I've stopped reading them. Probably just depends on the person

that's why it's good to be boss.

Bosses are allowed to do what they want, darling, whenever they want. The sooner you get used to that, the longer your employments may last.

exactly! I couldn't have said it better myself! sounds like OP needs a straw to suck it up! :)

You two are stupid. His ******* sister was in the hospital from a crash, yet the boss thinks it's okay to take time off because if her horoscope? That's TOTALLY fair, and he should TOTALLY suck it up because his sister is seriously injured. *sarcasm*

It's good to be the king. Do you think you deserve the same benefits as your boss?
Loofah_fml 1
Exactly, they're are benefits of being a boss. Sure your reason was more important, but being the boss he can make any descisions he wants. Sorry Op, you just got to remember that it's always going to be #1 and then #2.
emanim3_fml 0
that's stupid you shouldn't even think about complaining bout your boss taking time off... he can leave or stay when he wants... suks bout ur sister but you probably earned getting fired YDI
arieelxx 0
your an asshole. obviously op didn't deserve to get fired due to a family member being injured. so shut the **** up. the boss should be more understanding and not so self centered.
yankees4life09 0
actually, maybe she or he worked a demanding job where if she took time off unexpectedly, the company losses money because they don't have the right people to fill in; then she or he deserves to be fired. sorry bout your sister, but you might have deserved it. maybe he or she used up all they're vacation time already and the company needs you on those specific days for different reasons. also, don't be so closed minded about your ex boss. he made it to the point and was sucessful enough to become boss so he can do what he wants in respect to what he does with his holidays, he's earned it. ydi

87: or the boss was an asshole. you don't know the whole story. maybe op worked at a fast food resturant we don't know. so maybe you shouldn't be the close minded prick assuming op had no holidays left or that they just had to be at work due to things like busy days or not having enough staff. maybe the boss should be more prepared for when staff have these kinds of family 'emergencies' for all you know ops sister could have been severley hurt in the car accident and could have been dying.

Hey now, family comes before work. Always. I don't care if I'd get fired, I would take time off to visit my sister in the hospital.
