first of all #62, she has to start it out with " today, " but anyways if its a bigger company and your boss has a boss, the boss is definately going to end up being fired and you should sue to get your job back, if its a smaller company, its going to go out of business due to incompetence and you should find another job

first of all #62, she has to start it out with " today, " but anyways if its a bigger company and your boss has a boss, the boss is definately going to end up being fired and you should sue to get your job back, if its a smaller company, its going to go out of business due to incompetence and you should find another job I agree with 63. And she's probably hot and/or sleeping with him. Or at least giving him hope. Don't worry, her incompetence will not go ignored. And if it does, the company will not do well.

Haha. I copied and pasted what 63 said so I could properly reply to it and I changed my mind about elaborating didn't delete it afterward. FML =P

Report it to the BBB? Don't go down alone, take as many of those pastards with you as possible.

I bet the new girl would have gotten away with that anyway, "everyone does dumb things on their first day at the job", while the "old girl" would have gotten fired anyway. "For not checking up on the girl who made a fuckup".

Ahh the conundrums of life

Yeah, it's not your $6000, why care if it means you will lose your job?

Thanks to the boss' overriding order, she already knew that she shouldn't be fired for another employee's indiscretion (she was given an order, and she directly violated it). Even if her boss even fired her anyway, then she could report it to the higher ups - not that it would necessarily get her the job back, but at least her boss would have a permanent reprimand on her own record. There's no reason that she should have purposefully put her own neck on the line. If the risk is getting reprimanded for doing something you're not supposed to do versus getting reprimanded for doing something that you were supposed to do, why would anybody pick the former? The OP defied simple logic, not to mention her orders. BTW, if you're going to try using sarcasm as a means of belabouring supposed reason, it helps to imply wit in the context. Nice job on pulling a troll fail. PS Out of curiosity, it occurs to me that this entire situation may have been engineered by the boss and the new girl just to oust her from the job. It's a bit far-fetched, I know, but it's also entirely possible. Now that would really suck. =/

Since the new girl got promoted into his spot I'm guessing he was a supervisor of some sort. So it was his job to tell her what to do. The boss only told him to mind his own buisness afterwards.

You dumb or something? Read again, read right. Yesterday, the new girl did a bad thing, the OP stopped her. Today, the boss told her to mind her own business and not interfere with the new girls doing and fired her.

You know all FMLs automatically start with "Today," right?

21, the text says: Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired ON THE SPOT. Now unless in Washington this means something else, she was fired yesterday. 28, I know that all FMLs start with today, however that is a poor excuse. People find all sorts of way around that like "Today I'm unemployed..." or "Today, or to be more precise yesterday...". Although I guess if you remove the "Today" and "FML" parts (so it would appear as submitted) the story sounds right.

Ahaha, #21, way to make yourself look retarded.

I think the "i was fired on the spot" sentence was in reference to when the op was called into her boss' office, even though the op didn't write them together... ...it's just a poorly written fml.

whoops, didn't mean to comment twice.

it wouldnt have used any more or less characters to put the "i was fired on the spot" sentence after she talked about being called into the office as opposed to putting it after talking about stopping the new girl from making a mistake.

You're right. They have no lives. Not like you. No no. You have a fantastic life if you have time to tell people they don't have lives for discussing an FML. As fantastic as mine for pointing this out ;D

dudeitsdanny, your life is fantastic. :)

Every FML starts with Today even though it didn't happen today...
