Today, I proposed to the girl I have known for a while, since our Dads have worked together for 40 years. After I rang my Dad to tell him the good news, he told me that there was a position open at work, which had belonged to her Dad. My Dad had to fire him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML
Today, my dad got upset when one of his employees showed a romantic interest in my mom. Both parents were totally fine, though, with that same employee announcing his engagement to my 15-year-old sister. FML
Today, my supervisor at work is now my father-in-law. My girlfriend told me that. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Today, I found out my daughter has a higher paid job in the same company I work in. I also found out she is dating my boss. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." FML
Today, the man who fired me from my job became my stepfather. FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's dad for the first time. His shirt said "D.A.D.D, Dads Against Daughters Dating, shoot the first one and word will spread". FML

Damn her dad must have really screwed up to be fired after 40 yrs, (but that's more than enough to collect a pension only need 25 to 30 yrs.depending)hope this doesn't derail your plans and please follow up with what happens.

Did he fire him because of this, or just unfortunate timing? Follow up, OP!

It could ruin the business if the dads still worked together and something bad happens that destroys their relationship. This is actually a smart business move. Telling how casually OP mentioned it, this situation was probably already discussed by the two dads ahead of time.

I hope he saved up enough to pay for your wedding before he lost his job.

“Proposed to the girl I’ve known for a while.” Wtf does that mean? Some random friend or what?

This reads like you asked some random acquaintance to marry you just because your dads have known each other for a long time... And then your dad offered you a job as a reward.
