Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML

Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML

Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML

Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. 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 was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML

So you should probably go to work tomorrow or you'll get fired a third time next week!

Your boss is dumb. Don't take the second time getting fired as an offense. FYL and go into work and get fired a third time :P

I thought it was third times the charm? Maybe OP will get hired next time.

I've actually experienced the good side of the rule of three. The wins were small, but in one month I won a door prize for an event I was invited to last minute, a free fries from McDonald's Monopoly game and a free rib dinner on my favorite restaurant's Facebook page.

Are you sure you want to count the free mcfries as a win?

I hope you didn't let your boss fire you and hang up. Correct your boss, don't go too crazy, because if you need the boss for a future reference, but always stand up for yourself.

If he's fired OP twice, I don't think he's going to be a great reference.

No, he won't be a great reference. But, the OP could've been fired for any number of reasons, and as long as they didn't have a personality conflict with the boss, they may still give them a referal. If the boss won't then I hope the OP let their ex-boss have it.
