Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML

Oh, the irony

Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. 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

Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML

News to me

By nannynomore - 10/03/2009 18:52 - United States

Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML

One joke too far

Today, after spending 5 years working towards my dream job, getting it, and while in training telling a risqué joke, I got suspended the next day, lost the job, and I'm now in a shitty admin job. FML

Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML

Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML

What a vile bitch. Gather as much evidence as possible and take this shit straight to the higher ups.

This surpasses shitty, it's vicious. I agree with #2, gather evidence and sue them for workplace sabotage, those scum deserve the worst punishment they can get.

If she has to go that length just to get her job back after maternity leave.. don't you think there's something wrong with your dream company?

I was thinking this too. If she comes back to work after 6 months (in the UK) they have to give her the job back and OP would just be maternity cover (temporary). If she comes back after that time then they can't guarantee her original position but have to offer her an alternative.

That doesn't make any sense, when you go on maternity leave you are guaranteed your job back or if your position no longer exists you are given a similar job with equal pay and benefits.

There are laws in place to prevent a new mother from losing her job due to maternity. She and her scumbag coworkers didn't need to do such a despicable thing. I hope they all get what they deserve.

If you're a part of a union can you talk to your rep or something? That or HR I mean seriously that's ****** up.

I'm surprised no boss corrected you when they saw you were doing it wrong. Unless the boss was in on it too. In this case they should have told you it was a temporary position in the first place and not done this to you.
