Portland, United States
Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

No warning
Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML

Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML

Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML

Today, I started a new yard maintenance job. Before the day had even ended, I got fired, because I apparently didn’t have enough experience, and I moved too slowly. It was supposed to be my training day. FML

Rule #1 when starting a new job: don't be late. YDI.

You stupid ass. Oh what I would give for a job that paid $600.00 a week. That would help our family so much. Did I mention you are a stupid ass?

I'm on the app but I guess you know my vote. I'm assuming it's some sort of unskilled labour or OP is fairly young and this would've been the first "real" job.

You couldn't deserve this any more.

Well considering the federal minimum wage in the United States is $290/week before taxes($7.25/hr), if $600/week is considered low for London, imagine what i is in parts of the US where jobs may pay federal minimum wage.

Depending on where OP lives and and what income tax she has to pay 600$ a week is not much. A teacher gets payed 5000€ a month where i live and only gets 40% of it on his bank account. So i grow 5 pot plants legally that give 550 gram after 10 weeks or so. This will earn me 5*550= 2750*5€ Which is pretty much. This is ofc under ideal circumstances.

I hate when people cry about the end results of being a half-assing lazy drain on society

he was talking about how he was complaining about getting fired, when it was entirely his fault by being late.

No matter what the pay you shouldn't be late, especially on the first day. Way to f-up your first impression.

Fortunately for OP, it's also her last.

Tu l'as bien mérité, il fallait pas être en retard pour ton premier jour, surtout pour un job bien payé comme celui là !
