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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

How are you fired on your second day but at the same time after a year and a half of employment?

This is common. If you want to keep a job, don't show independent thought!

Sorry OP... My job is like that too. We teach the new hires "head down and mouth shut." You can't rock the boat during the probation period. Those who have were promptly shown the door... It's not fair, but thats business.

Many employers like to keep the workers in a "boob" state of mind. They like feeling superior. Get a degree and get in charge. We need more people with your attitude in the work place.

Get that in writing and use it on your next job hunt

That boss should get a hero cookie for the single most polite way to say "You are a bossy know-it-all," ever uttered. And all these people typing things about how that boss is stupid would fire anyone who walked into their business off the street and started telling them how to run it. I absolutely guarantee it. The unfortunate truth is, the OP isn't going to succeed in any career, in any industry, anywhere unless/until taking a really big bite of humble pie. A beginner's place is to watch and learn. Do that well, and maybe one can *earn* a place at leading.

You really don't have enough info to make that assumption, as neither do the others commenting here. It could be either of those cases.

Second day on the job. It's not an assumption.
