Today, my boss announced that instead of holiday bonuses being on the cards, the company is going under and we'll all be out of a job next year. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at our work's Christmas party, our manager got completely trashed and let it slip that our branch is closing. Some of us will be transferred, but about 2/3 of us, including the manager, will be fired on the 1st of January FML
Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, I was informed that- despite an already skeletal staff- my supervisor is leaving the company. Tomorrow. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML
Today, my boss complained about how his performance bonus is too small, as he expected it to be the total amount accrued rather than a percentage. He also made the decision to not give any of the employees profit sharing this year, because the company didn't beat the budgeted increase in profits. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you play your cards right you can make more money filing for unemployment and sitting on your arse all day. It's the American way.

That's the reason America's the laziest country, that's what Americans do, get unemployment checks an eat them McDees, all day, erday.

all our money ends up in the hands of people that have no talent like reality tv stars, most movie stars, and justin beiber.

I'm assuming OP meant "in the cards", considering that is the popular saying. Not that they are literally recieving cards.

I was being sarcastic but it failed slightly. I'll try again next time.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but should it be IN the cards?

Sorry, op. I know how you feel. I lost my job when Borders went under a few months back. it's tough out there, but best of luck. I was able to land another job, so there's hope. If I can do it, trust me, so can you.

I'm sorry to hear that, I truly hope you will find a job soon with the same or higher salary, good training opportunities, flexible hours and supportive colleagues. Good luck.

At least you got a warning. Most companies dont give one before they close.
