Today, my boss hired a new meat cutter because our old one stopped showing up for work. After he put the smock on, I told him what needed to be done. Without saying a word, he walks over to my boss, hands him his smock and says, "I quit." Guess I'm on my own. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boss quit his job and stopped coming in without warning. Guess who just inherited his tasks and responsibilities without the training or pay associated with his manager role. I was hired last year as a junior system admin. FML
Today, my boss gave me a new assignment at work: go online and look for my own replacement, then interview him. FML
Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. He then fired me. Upset, I asked him, "Well, who's gonna replace me?" His answer was, "I don't know and don't care. Everyone who works here hates you. Now go away." FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." 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 saw my boss, so I mentioned to him, "Oh, I quit." He then interrupted, saying, "Great, I was going to fire you this week anyway." I wanted to tell him I quit smoking. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, it was my last day at work. I was offered a better job and accepted. Not wanting to leave my present boss hanging, I asked for time to give notice. While I trained my replacement, the owner at the new job had time to think about how slow the season is, and he decided not to fill the position. FML
Today, fifteen minutes before the end of the day, my boss asked me who I was training to replace me. He then said never mind, that it was his job to choose someone. I hadn't indicated that I was planning on leaving the company. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Are you showing him how to cut human meat by any chance?

This is your chance to really show your boss what you are capable of. Work hard and I'm sure it will all work it in the end. Stay in there OP.

Seeing no reason for him to quit, I'm going to assume 1. You said what he needed to do rudely, or 2. He is a sexist person and does not like to be told what to do by a women, or 3. The job was not what he expected it to be.

Ask around and see if any of your friends are looking for a job. Maybe you can recommend someone to your manager. This way, he gets an employee and you're not stuck with all the work load. Win/win.

Makes me think the job posting was misleading as a lot of them are. I've taken many jobs where I'm expected to do work that was not outlined in either the job description or interview. Apparently he didn't like it so he quit.Tell your boss or HR to write better job postings in the future.

That reason is exactly why when I post a job for our business, I always include "other duties as needed"

Yeah j got hired for Lowe's and applied for unloading and did the interview for it as well but when I went to orientation they sprung on me that I was in lumber all of a sudden.

Maybe look at the business culture and workload - perhaps it is unfeasable and needs to be spread across more than 2 employees?

Reminds me of the bar rescue ep where one of the cooks didn't want to clean so he quit

DID the last meat cutter actually ''quit''?
