Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss fired me for being on Facebook at work. He did it via a wall post on Facebook saying, "ur fired." Six of my friends liked this. FML
Today, my boss fired me. Then later on Facebook, his public status was, "Finally fired the sumo wrestler!" FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML
Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. 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, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." 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
Today, I learned to keep your posts private on social media. Your boss might find your Facebook status updates saying, “I hate this shitty 9-5, I want to be on a beach with a margarita.” I got a call from him saying, “You’re terminated from the shitty 9-5, so you don’t have to anymore. Enjoy the beach!” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So, he used that as an excuse, but hated you for other reasons. Way to suck at your job, OP.

And that's why he's the boss and you are not. If you're ever able to find a job again, try NOT wasting your company's time and just do your ******* work that they are paying you to do.

Sounds awful. It reminds me of how I spent several millenia working in a carpark only to lose out on the job because my traveling companions finally caught up to me, and talked me into helping them steal a ship. That was so pointless, just like everything else in life. Life. Don't talk to me about life.

I agree, chances are she was a bad employee.

I'd had?
5t3ff1k4h 47
I'd had is correct. "I had had"... meaning I once had.

Well, yeah. You're not really supposed to be looking up non-work-related things on the company's computer.

Your boss has been finding means to fire you, but you weren't taking notice at all!!!!!!!!

I think you're missing the point. I think the going on facebook was just an excuse for the boss to fire her. there's no need to get so angry, it doesn't affect you.

Excuse to fire her? No, m'lady, it's a REASON to fire her. She's being paid to do a job, and she is essentially stealing her salary if she is engaging in personal online recreation. I get irritated when people steal shit.

how do you know she hadn't already finished all of her work?

His hypocrisy shows you that he really had it in for you. Friending your boss is kind of creepy to begin with, but then checking his status after he fired you makes you a stalker.

true

Who said he checked the boss' status? You do know that people's statuses pop up on your home page right? OP was probably scrolling and saw it.

You should print that out and sue.
5t3ff1k4h 47
American?
RedJester23 6
On what grounds can you possibly sue for? "Your Honor, he fired me for being on facebook while I was supposed to be working, and that offends me. I want money!" Good luck with that one. OP, he's the boss, and you're not. He can basically do whatever the f*** he wants, as long as it's not illegal. YDI

11- That's pretty overused and old.

Well you kinda fit our stereotype, don't you 11? Rude much?
5t3ff1k4h 47
Guess what, rockhound? I'm not American. It was an observation. To the other guy, yes I realize. Meh.

it's actually true that per capita America does have more lawsuits. the united states has over a million lawyers

nuu 74 you're canadian yay I'm from Montreal :D go Habs go!
5t3ff1k4h 47
I'm a weird Canadian. I don't like hockey. Sue me!
rockhound 0
Guess what 74? I gathered that you weren't American from your "American?" comment. Not to mention that a simple click on your profile solved that mystery. One does not need to be part of a group to share a common characteristic of the stereotype of said group.

He's a moron

Can't sue. He fired her for a logical valid reason. He is the boss, some if not all rules don't apply to him.
offroadin210 0
Not if he didn't specify it previously as a rule with termination as a consequence. If he did specify, OP is SOL in that sense.
ILOLatmockdaweek 0
I'm pretty sure being caught on facebook is not a big enough reason to fire her. if she'd done it more than once then ok.
GameAddikt 0
actually if he was intentionally looking for an excuse to fire her you can sue! only problem is in the Facebook post he said fired that bitch, he never said her actual name so she is screwed both way!
