Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML

Unexpected

Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML

Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML

Today, after “talking” and flirting with my team lead for a few months, we started dating and I quit my job, which I really liked, and started working somewhere I didn’t just so we could be together. Now, two weeks after quitting, she breaks up with me. FML

Today, I was terminated from my job. This comes after I sent HR an email about an inappropriate relationship between my manager and a counselor. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut. FML

Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML

Now you know never to date a coworker, much less a subordinate. If you manage to find another job in this economy, think with your head, not your dick.

If I understood this correctly you hired a subordinate and then dated her? There has to be something ethically wrong with that! Are you surprised you got fired? I'm sorry she left you though, thats harsh

First of all, don't date people you work with. Second of all, and seemingly more obvious don't date people you HIRE. Idiot. But it does suck she dumped you. She's lame too. You're better off.

I can't believe you were surprised. Do you honestly think your good looks were the reason she was going out with you?

YDI for bad puncuation: "She then broke up with me. Because I didn't have a job." And if you were trying to make a point or "build suspense" in a way, you should have used "..." Right ways: 1) She then broke up with me, because I didn't have a job. 2) She then broke up with me...because I didn't have a job. (I don't know if it said the EXACT words, "she then", but you get my point. I don't want criticsism from anybody...even if I spelled some words wrong...like "criticsism". Give me a break, I'm only 12.)
