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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss fired me because he wants to start dating my mother and apparently doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML
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
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
Today, I got fired from my job. My boss is my brother. His reason being that, "it would create awkward tension between us." I've been working for him for 5 years, and it's like he's only just realised that I was there. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? My boss didn't like that my manager and I are friends outside of work, and he thinks we are sleeping together. She's gay and I live with my boyfriend of five years. He blamed it on me wearing the wrong shoes three weeks ago. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think that his firing you would make it awkward, but I don't think it would have been before. FYL

I think your Boss' plan backfired. If anything, this is going to make things even more awkward.

And they aren't going to be any less awkward now? Your ex-boss is fairly stupid.

tennessee is an employment at will state, so, while the reasoning is bullshit, there is no legal standing for retaliation UNLESS you are either unionized or have an employment contract (or if your boss's conduct was found to be in violation of federal employment laws, which only covers shit like discrimination, not "my boss is literally retarded"), neither of which is particularly likely since this here GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD values its citizens far less than it does the soulless will of multinational corporations. the only thing that allows for fair treatment of employees (other than unions which have been essentially castrated by the media and portrayed as the evil blue-collar worker looking to bankrupt our darling, lovable CEO) was the Model Employment Termination Act of 1991, which requires employers to provide good cause for the termination of an employee. it has only been adapted by delaware and washington d.c., so don't be holding out hope that you CAN'T be bent over and raped up the ass by whatever faceless entity employs you for the moment.

Check your state laws, you could sue for wrongful firing. Or go out of your way to make things akward at family reunions.

she can't sue, wrongful termination only applies to a very limited number of cases, and the likelihood that her situation is in violation of the employer's termination policy is very low. not to mention tennessee is an at-will employment state, so even if his cause for firing her IS wrong, there has to be a veritable mountain of evidence that there was a specific, illegal intention to fire her in order to get a lawsuit off the ground.

True, but they might settle to avoid embarrassing negative press and legal costs if threatened.
