Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML

Today, at my new job at a funeral home, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't "lighten the hell up" while dealing with our grieving clients. FML
Today, my personal trainer fired me. Why? Because I wanted to focus on strength training, not weight loss, and refused to track my carb intake or fasting hours or "hold off on carbs til the optimal time of day." Nice to know I'm not allowed to be satisfied with my own weight. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for being constipated. FML
Today, I was upset over a recent break up. It showed while I was at work, and I made a customer sad just by looking blue. She complained to my manager. I got written up for being so depressed that I got a customer depressed too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wouldn't you be something to work towards? Like a source of encouragement? And if someone "overweight" works there, the customers wouldn't see the point of it..

It's better than being fired for being too fat!

Not to mention that pretty much every company that deals with customer service prefers to hire fit/thin/healthy people as, no matter what everyone says here, that's what brings the customers in. I've worked in customer service for 15 years and manage a restaurant and that's what sells the public.

It sucks to get fires I know. You could bring a wrongful termination suit to feel better and get some money in these hard times

115 - If they find what someone says outrageous or unbelievable, it's far easier to re-read and double check that what they're reading is, indeed, outlandish, than it is to write a reply. Reading is our friend
