Today, my boss called me to his office, and played back a recording of me telling a co-worker that if I still worked there in a year, I would hang myself. He then bitched me out for unprofessional conduct. The taped conversation took place over a year ago, with my recently ex-boyfriend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss told me to resign within the month, or he'll fire me and give me a bad reference. I talked to him about it again later on, this time with my phone recording everything, so I could take the proof to HR. I guess he knew, because he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. FML
Today, my psycho ex boyfriend, who I broke up with over a month ago showed up at my work yelling and crying because I didn't get him anything for his birthday. My boss now thinks I'm an asshole. FML
Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for violating workplace privacy, after he found an FML post from last year that eerily resembled a situation that happened the same year. He thought I posted it and twisted things to make him look like an idiot. I've never posted here in my life. FML
Today, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML
Today, yet again, my boss whined to me like a baby over being "friend-zoned" by his secretary. Not only does he basically stalk her and make her eat lunch with him every day, she's a lesbian in a committed relationship. He suspended me after I lost it and told him to see a fucking therapist. 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 found out my boss wrote me up because he heard me crying on the phone, and that it was unprofessional. I was talking to my sister, who was telling that me my father had died. Three weeks ago, he was crying about his dog breaking his leg. FML
Today, my boss overheard me in a bathroom stall talking about how much I hate my job and couldn’t stand him. He didn’t say a word, I hadn't even heard him come in, I just noticed him staring silently at me through the crack in the stall, before leaving. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like your boss is rather a jerk if he goes around accumulating dirt on you behind your back like that.

I guess the only thing left to do now is hang yourself.

For karma to take place OP must first die, contrary to popular belief karma takes place in the next life and not this one. Well that's what I have read at least, correct me if I'm wrong as I don't believe in it anyway.

Why is "it was over a year ago, to my ex-boyfriend?" important at all? It was unprofessional no matter when or to whom you said it to. As for everyone saying that's illegal, I'm pretty sure if it took place in the workplace it isn't. A lot of offices have policies to allow management to read e-mails and listen in on phone conversations.

Because it's a nice, juicy detail that tells us that OP's ex-boyfriend is so incredibly lame and childish.

@46: Who said the conversation took place at work? She could have vented to him at some point outside of the work place and he was lame enough to record it. Most people don't expect to be recorded when they vent to their loved ones.

Yes, because I'm sure you've never made a comment about something that's pissed you off at work/school/in general to a family member or loved one, how dare OP do so without expecting professional repercussions? It's idiots like you who make it so much easier for employers to feel entitled to dig around in our personal lives, things that are irrelevant to our jobs, or occur off the clock during our personal time. It is beyond absurd to expect someone to be so paranoid about their significant other recording them in an attempt to blackmail them down the road, that they censor every negative statement they've ever made in an attempt to be 'more professional.' Get a life.

P.S. It probably is illegal in some places. Most companies have official policies that allow them to monitor their employees, those policies specifically outline those methods, IE your phone conversations may be monitored and your internet usage may be monitored. Those policies generally don't include, 'your boyrfriend may be recording your conversations, for our personal use, to be used in the event that you dump him, in an attempt to get you fired.'
