Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, for the first time since I can remember, I went in to work feeling positive, and that I could make good things happen. At the end of the day, my employment was terminated. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, after nearly eight months of unemployment, I started a great new job. After seven and a half hours of work, my new boss comes up to tell me what a great job I was doing, but that he somehow forgot to clear the new hire with the company owner, so I'm fired. Hello, unemployment... again. FML
Today, I was fired for the second time in as many days. I received a letter notifying me that I would no longer be working for the company, effective immediately. When I did not attend work the next day, I received a phone call firing me for not turning up. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML
Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sorry, OP, that really sucks. I was recently "let go" after only one day at a job I loved, because I live too far away from the workplace. So I know how you feel. And I can't believe how many idiots are saying its better to be unemployed when it's nearly impossible to find jobs. I'm guessing those people either have steady work or live with their parents and don't need to worry about money.

Many people prefer it. A lot of unemployment systems work best for the lazy, it's rather pathetic, but it pays significantly better to be lazy than to work a mediocre job if you're on unemployment after having a good paying job.

Sadly if where OP lives is similar to where I live an employer can fire an employee for almost any reason before 3 months - it's a "probationary period". Also sadly after 3 months you have to be very careful why & how you fire someone no matter how big of a moron they are.

@25 I agree. I am currently unemployed living at home. I've been job hunting and doing part time businesses for money. It's amazing what an employer will come up with in order to get rid of someone. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

A workers hire A workers, but B workers hire C workers.

It's good policy to just observe, when your the new employee. Situations like that are played out at many workplaces. People feel threaten, even supervisors. Good luck job hunting.
