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.

ydi for showing up late. especially when it was your first day. that's just asking to get canned.

As somebody who also lives in London, and is at the point of crying from the sudden stops in transport at the last minute, I feel ya. HOWEVER, a bit of TfL and HOURS early to set off should have done it; you can always go to the nearest coffee shop and have breakfast!

I agree with everyone else. You probably should have been there at least 15 minutes early on your first day. Its your own fault you got fired.

If it's that good a job, couldn't possibly be hard to fill, and therefore it makes sense to fire someone who doesn't even both to show up on time. There are probably plenty of other people waiting in line for it who WILL show up on time, and when it comes to this kind of stuff, time is money. You totally deserved that. This isn't an FML moment. You made a stupid choice and you're paying for it. That's just how life works.

If you're getting paid a professional's salary, then be professional, and show up on time.

Why would you ever be late for a first day on the job? It's one thing for them to make an occasional allowance after you've proven yourself a valuable employee, it's another thing entirely for you to think you're such a wonderful commodity that you don't have to pay your dues like everyone else.
