Today, I was checking my schedule online and noticed that I wasn't scheduled for any shifts next week. Not thinking it was a big deal, I called HR to get it corrected, only to find out I was laid off and they "forgot" to tell me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, five hours into my shift, I found out that I had been given the day off. They just forgot to tell me. FML
Today, after not being on the schedule for a week, I checked to see what my next shift was, only to find my employee profile edited to 'disabled' and still no hours or word from any managers. This after weeks of showing up at the drop of a hat when needed for any position. FML
Today, I was informed that I was let go from my job for not showing up for a week. A week I'd scheduled off, that management had approved. FML
Today, I went in to work to check my new schedule for the week. I searched up and down and didn't see my name listed. After talking to my manager, he decided it would be easier to "release" me than remake a new schedule. 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 found out that I was being laid off via an email that wasn't even spell checked. FML
Today, I went into work to change a shift I was unable to work. I phoned the first person on the employee sheet and they promptly answer by saying, "You still work here? I thought the manager fired you." I was fired last week and have been showing up for shifts without anybody noticing. FML
Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML
Today, because I forgot to fill out a form, I accidentally held up payroll for the whole organization. Oops. FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

my mom is like that, she yells at me for not doing something, but she forgets to tell me to do it in the first place

Getting laid off is not the same as getting unfairly fired. Downsizing happens all the time. What you do is feel sorry for yourself for 24 hours, then go online and apply for unemployment. You can also work while you're collecting, as long as you don't make more than your weekly unemployment allowance.

Something similar happened to me. Management changed and I stopped getting scheduled 2 weeks later. I called and one of the managers didn't even know what was going on with me either. The last time I called, he said, "I think you don't work here anymore. Sorry." What probably happened was that a new manager saw that I was far along in my pregnancy (7 months along, to be exact) and thought I wouldn't be able to work anymore or something and couldn't fire me for legal reasons, so they she just quit putting me on the schedule and then refused to tell me anything. Thankfully, that place went under. Karma's a bitch. I didn't even report them or anything. They weren't doing well and I guess they just finally folded.
