Today, I worked 24 hours straight fixing my company's servers. After it was over, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and promptly fell asleep at my desk. My boss found me an hour later, refused to listen to me, and fired me for sleeping on the job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally fell asleep at work after working a 12-hour shift. Instead of waking me up, my coworkers spiked my coffee mug with whiskey and told my boss I was drunk. My boss wouldn't even listen to my side of the story and fired me. FML
Today, after a sleepless night, I fell asleep at my work desk. When I awoke, I found my co-workers had duct taped me to my chair. I was yelling at them to untape me, when our boss came in, scolded me for fucking about on the job, and left without saying a word to my colleagues. FML
Today, I got into trouble for sleeping at work. FML
Today, while working from home, I was super drowsy after a heavy bar hangout with the boys. I took a call from a customer. Next thing I know, the call was no longer there. My boss called me to tell me they left a one-star review on our site, saying I fell asleep and snored mid-call. Yes, I was fired. FML
Today, I fell asleep at my desk. It's bad enough that it was for 45 minutes and that I was snoring. What makes it worse? My boss woke me up. FML
Today, I was fired for falling asleep at work. I’m still not sure how I fell asleep, seeing as I’m a stocker and I was actively putting cans on the shelf when it happened. FML
Today, I apparently fell asleep during a work Zoom meeting. I awoke to no meeting on my screen and an e-mail from my boss saying I was terminated, and to do something about my "sleep apnea." FML
Today, I fell asleep while on the toilet at work. When I woke up, I tried to quietly sneak back to my desk, only to be caught by my boss. He immediately sent me packing and gave his "best wishes" for me in the unemployment line. FML
Today, I was let go from a position that I spent 11 years pouring my heart into. I was fired for ranting in an group chat, after getting 37 minutes of sleep in two days. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML

Wrongful termination suit?

Too bad you can't rewire your boss so he isn't a dick.

You shouldn't even be going for 24 hours without sleep, working or not! I hate this society.

Just put the servers back the way they then leave. And code it so no one else can get in or change it

#91 has a good idea. Let em fix their own mess. When in High School Computer programming I borrowed some code to protect my work. If someone tried to alter it or use it without a password it wiped the network hard drive. Took the teachers 2 days to restore the computers after someone stole my work

That sucks OP but it was kind of your fault. If the servers were that broken then your boss probably should have known and also known how long you were fixing them.

I am sorry to say this, but you did deserve that. You should have clocked out and went to your car. Slept there if you needed. Sleeping at your desk sends the wrong image. And yes it does suck that you spent all night fixing the server only to be fired.

That is absolute nonsense. At best the boss should have sent him home to sleep it off, but in absolutely no way is this his fault. At worst, this would have been an official reprimand.
