Today, my boss declared total bankruptcy of the company and I lost my job. The good news is my coworkers and I all received McDonald's 10%-off coupons. They expired in 2003. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I was just a few days away from starting the training for my promotion to management, which involved a healthy pay raise and full time benefits. Today, news came down that the company is filing for bankruptcy. FML
Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward" to my boss. All I did was get him coffee and a biscuit from McDonald's to celebrate his 15-year anniversary working there. 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, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and my coworkers gave me a $75 gift card to a restaurant chain near my house. Later in the evening, I found out the chain of restaurants abruptly closed. All of them. FML
Today, my company is doing so bad that I had to take down my symbolic first dollar so that I could buy a roll of crackers for dinner. FML
Today, I was fired from my job over a coupon a coworker offered me for bonus reward points. Apparently, it wasn't one I was entitled to. I never even looked at the coupon and assumed it was fine since they offered it to me. FML
Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Solution? Create a time travel machine, go back in time and save your company. Keep the coupons and use them in 2003, go back to now and be rich. You're welcome!

Op's boss: "by the way everyone the company is going under and no one has a job anymore, but as a reminder of how great you all are here are some coupons for Mcdonalds." Who on the hell gives coupons while basically firing everyone?? Sorry OP

Maybe they won't care and they'll take it regardless of it being expired for 10 years

I don't understand how over 200 people think you deserved that

It sucks for you, but it probably sucks even more for your boss. He just had to close down his business, he probably was too poor at this point to be able to give you anything other than coupons.
