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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

How many hours ago was the status? If he did it on the clock, then he's a hypocrite. If he did it after, he's still quite the douche, but nothing you can do really. Obviously he hated you for more reasons. I'd say, if you're a bitch, then I don't sympathise. If you're not, just post on your status something like, '11 years of douchebaggery, now no more :D' or 'finally got fired, but I bet he's still 'firing' blanks' I'm not good at this...

Regarding that last statement, you are correct, sir.

Totally agree. If op is a bitch, then she deserves it. Nobody likes to deal with a bitch.

#15: OP said he posted from work.

1. He's the boss and can do as he pleases. 2. If he "finally fired that bitch" he was looking to get rid of you before your facebook at work. 3. He doesn't need a reason to fire you but has one anyway so you can't sue. 4. You obviously deserved it.

You don't know that. The boss could've just been a horrible person. If the OP sucked at their job it would've taken them a lot less than 11 years to get fired. Then again it depends how often the OP was checking Facebook. If it was a first offence I think firing her was extreme, but if it was a constant thing then yeah. Also NEVER add your boss on Facebook. Ever. I'm amazed people need to be told these things.

You need a valid reason to fire people, just because your the "boss" doesn't mean your immune to legal lawsuits, that guy should be taken to court!

The question is, what else were you previously doing? Chances are you had to have done something else that led up to this. In most cases you can be fired "at will" meaning just cause isn't needed. However, being fired you are entitled to apply for unemployment benefits.

Not anymore, unemployment benefits began expiring 2 days ago.

document that and bring it to a lawyer. I think you have a case. make him pay for being a dick
KaleidoscopePope 0
you can't sue someone just for being a dick. If you tried, you would get laughed at by everyone in the justice system and look like an even BIGGER fool. idiot.
GameAddikt 0
no but for unjust termination you can sue and if there was no set company policy that stated being caught on Facebook would result in your immediate termination then this is a great case of unjust termination! so your right you can't be sued for being a dick, but you can always find other reasons!

2 things he's your boss why would you even have him on your facebook, it's wierd and don't say work related bull! the other is your boss is a hypocrite that should go die in a hole! >.< To conclude MOST bosses are gay!

op you can sue.... get a picture aka a screen shot of his page to use in court for wrongful termination

Why the **** does everyone say sue? What utter bullshit. If OP violated the rules, she deserves to be fired full stop. It doesn't matter if other people (boss included) violated the rule as well. "Everyone else was doing it" doesn't usually qualify as a legal defense.

#60 is right. The only other thing that will do besides making OP look retarded is get everyone else that was doing it in trouble if she actually makes a good enough case to win, and the chances of that are small. So it's a lose-lose situation for OP.
