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!

Yay for people's insecurities! I had coworkers like that once, I ended up quitting.

Wait what? Are you serious? You can get fired for that? That just sucks

Wow, sucks. Sounds like that isn't the type of boss you'd want to have anyways. I had a friend who was a lot more hardworking than the others, so his boss fired all his coworkers and expected him to do all the work on his own after that... poor guy couldn't take it and quit a month later. Good luck getting a new job, I doubt it'll be easy :/

That's better than being told you're bad at your job

No one likes a know it all, especially on the first day. Even if you were correct, you played your hand poorly.

German problems ... Also, story time... Apparently back after the troubles in Hungary in 1956, Scandinavia took care of Hungarian refugees. And as gratefull as they were, they worked very hard to repay the kindness. Unfortunately this made all the other workers look bad, so the Hungarians were told to relax and take longer breaks and so on. The trueness of this might be questionable, but I think it's a cool story nevertheless. If you google "all work and no play satw" someone made a comic about it.

I am a manager, and it is hard for me to understand what is wrong with these "bosses". I would never fire a great employee because the others feel threatened by their co-worker's lack of laziness.
