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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML
Today, I fell asleep while on the toilet at work. When I woke up, I tried to quietly sneak back to my desk, only to be caught by my boss. He immediately sent me packing and gave his "best wishes" for me in the unemployment line. FML
Today, I was working from home. I felt very sleepy, so I set my online status “Active” and went back to bed. I woke up to 3 missed calls from my boss and an email from him, containing a webcam screenshot of me asleep in bed. I totally forgot he has remote access to my computer. FML
Today, after working the night shift, I accidentally left my iPod at the office. I woke up later and went on Facebook. To my dismay, I saw some coworker had posted stuff on my wall, such as, "I really have to take a shit!" and "Yes, my tits are real!" FML
Today, my boss and I were bragging about our new phones. I unlocked mine to show its awesome display, and accidentally opened a job search app. FML
Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. FML
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 bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

One of the first things an employer of an office environment will tell you is "Stay off of Facebook!" Sorry, OP.. But YDI. You knew it was a rule and you broke it.

Maybe you will learn to focus on work and not be on Facebook

You don't deserve to get money when all you're doing is slacking off.YDI.

I would just like to let you know that I hate you because you automatically assumed OP is at fault. Now that I've said that, maybe OP was doing work and just had a Facebook tab open. Just because Facebook is open doesn't mean Op was slacking off. Have a nice day, Asshole.

107, you got your name right! Spaz... Why else is facebook open? To have more tabs and make it look like you're working more?

Who the **** cares if OP "just had a tab open"? If the policies at the job dictate that the computers be used for WORK ONLY, then just opening a Facebook tab violates that policy. Clearly OP was using Facebook ("I accidentally left MY facebook open") on a company computer ("on MY WORK computer"), so it is obviously OP's fault. Full stop.

Why did OP have the tab open in the first place? Most people go on Facebook when theyre bored, or have nothing to do. There is absolutely no reason, in my opinion, for anybody to be on Facebook while they're at work when they're supposed to be getting paid money for doing their job. OP clearly wasted the companies time, and therefore money. No need for insults, I say this with your education in mind Spazz.

You never have downtime at work? Not many places have you working for 8 hours straight everyday. For me it's simply because there's a lot of waiting involved, but I'm guessing op works in an office where I doubt his days are brimmed with work. We aren't worker drones.

You should go do the same to his XD

Yeah thats a good idea *sarcastic voice* but OP really deserved it

His boss probably knows better than to be on facebook during work.

I read this comment in micheal kelso's voice. The fact that this is some moronic thing he would say goes even better with the picture because you look like him too. Yes I mean you look like a moron Also you resemble Ashton kutcher(sp.?)

Hey Spazz, where's the PLUR, eh? If you're gonna disagree with someone, at least contribute to the discussion with some rational thoughts in opposition. Pointless bitching is pointless.

Heres a tip, when you're at work atually do your job, There are so many people out there that will just snatch it up when you go.

Haha that's what you get for slacking off at work buddy. This is ydi written all over it

This is why employers don't want to hire people, because they end up spending money to train fools that waste company time on Facebook.

Hahaha your boss is a troll

Oh, come on guys, like we never take a little break from our work...especially if we're working with computers. It's so tempting. Nevertheless, leaving your Facebook open is definitely asking for problems.

One office I worked at didn't care if you did something like facebook occasionally or during slow bursts. Basically they understood people need a brain break, not everyone is a smoker, so they let it slide as long as it wasn't excessive. Of course the people in this office were very efficient with work being done ahead of deadline and new ideas being worked on without being asked. When you take extra stuff to your boss you can sometimes get away with slacking here and there.

I can honestly say I'm not even remotely tempted. There's so much to do throughout my day at work that I can't afford to think of anything but work. And you know what? I love it.

That's what a lunch (or a 15 min) break is for. Sorry but if you can't go without Facebook or your phone for more then three hours (while at work) than you don't deserve to be paid for your half ass work effort. I know i can go all day without either one and be perfectly fine.
