Today, I got laid off. I abandoned my friends, my boyfriend and moved 10 hours away for this job because my uncle convinced me to. My uncle is my employer. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML
Today, I woke up, got dressed, drove for an hour, just to find out that I was fired. This is the closest job near me. FML
Today, not even a week after I was laid off from my job, I got a call from my old boss. He offered me a "new" job at the company, which turned out to be just like my old one, but with drastically reduced pay. I'm so broke and desperate that I accepted. FML
Today, I came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. FML
Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, my best friend decided to make some life changes. He got a new job, a new car, and asked me to move out of our apartment. We're 1,500 miles away from my hometown. I only moved all the way out here to live with him in the first place because he asked me to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Damn. I hope even though you abandoned your friends and boyfriend, that you ended things on really good terms and you can go back home to them :c I'm sorry your uncle did that to you.

Did he use the " no nepotism rule" as a reason to fire you?

Was your employer. That is so horrible. Tell your uncle you need to be compensated for the move, and if he doesn't do it, get a lawyer involved.

Sounds like the kind of thing my uncle would do. Sometimes a job just isn't worth risking everything else for.

I honestly hit you deserve it for abandoning so friends and supposed significant other for a job. So many other options could have been taken

I hope your uncle gives you a severance or at least helps move you back!

That's why I don't mess with most (99%) of my family. Those bitches can jump off of a bridge with bricks in their pockets and lead shoes on their feet!
