Today, I returned from my first paid vacation in the past 2 years from a place with no cell, or internet. I've just found out that our department has been downsized. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while on holiday. I got a call to let me know my job will be gone away when I return. FML
Today, after I spent the last year working overtime to prove myself at my tech job, I got an email saying I was laid off due to “strategic restructuring.” My boss posted a vacation picture right after. FML
Today, I found out I lost a promotion intended for me because I was on planned vacation. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I submitted a vacation request to my manager and it was approved. I came back from lunch and was informed that I have been let go. FML
Today, I finally got my phone and internet services reinstated after a billing mishap. During the week that I was without service, I had 3 requests for interviews and a position offer. None of those opportunities are still available. FML
Today, after taking a much-needed mental health week off from work, I discovered I wasn’t on the schedule this week. Turns out, I was fired. Apparently, my absence made things “inconvenient” for my department, since they had to do double work due to my “selfish” PTO usage. FML
Today, I returned to work after two weeks of vacation without a working phone. While I was gone, a beloved former colleague died, two Court hearings got postponed because nobody could find the proof the documents were sent to the other party, and half the office went on vacation. Oh yeah, and my grandma died. FML
Today, after being jobless for 2 years, I got a call back for an interview. I was ecstatic until I saw the date. It's the same day I leave for a weeklong, nonrefundable vacation. I applied for the job 6 weeks ago, and since not hearing anything bought the vacation 2 weeks ago. FML
Today, I came back from a week-long vacation where I had no internet whatsoever. I turned on my phone to get notifications, hoping to see a message or two that I'd missed while gone. There was 1 notification, telling me how many FMLs were posted while I was away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just because you had no internet or cell doesn't mean your roommate couldn't have written you a letter to tell you when it happened. Sorry.

I read this as op's apartment had been downsized, thought that didn't make sense, read again, maybe #6 made my mistake and didn't read it again

That would be quite a surprise. You return from a vacation and your two-bedroom place has magically turned into a studio. Makes me think about Black Books...

Assumptions, assumptions. Tsk, tsk.

Well at least you can go to your next job interview with a hot sexy bitchin' tan.
allieallie18 7
op never said he went somewhere with sun, so he was able to get a tan. lots of people go on vacation to cold places
cryssycakesx3 23
It's sad if you're that insecure to value yourself for your "hot sexy bitchin' tan." the person interviewing you for a job sure as hell doesn't care. "oh, her tan is bitchin' let's hire her."

26, you're making quite a few assumptions about 11, and how she views her self-worth.
foxwasalamb 24
its her specialty

37, I've realized that. Almost every comment I've seen from her is demeaning towards the person she's addressing.

I hope you are not on the "downsized" list and you got to keep your job :)

Judging by the fact that they posted this here, I'm going to assume that they weren't that lucky...
dezire43 7
but their name is happy employee so I'm confused too

I don't know for sure, of course, but I think OP's name is sarcasm.
