Today, my boss reprimanded me in front of the rest of the staff for "not following instructions" because I went to a company meeting. I have the email from him telling me to go to the meeting. He thinks I faked it. Unemployment sucks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. 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, my boss gave me a lecture accompanied with a formal warning because I failed to take notes during a client meeting. I was never at this client meeting, in fact, I had a call with another client at the same time. Regardless, he insists I was there and refuses to listen to reason. FML
Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. 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, I got fired for following my work directions. I found out when I tried to badge into work, and paid $40 for a ride home. There also was an argument with my supervisors because I actually follow the directions correctly and knew what they meant. I'm temp to hire so there's no recourse for me. FML
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, I walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". FML

Yeah, unemployment sucks. You know what sucks more? Having a disgruntled former employee post your information on an adult male services website. You're welcome.

Hopefully, it wasn't a job in which termination is at will. That way, you have leverage for litigation. That said, before you leave for good, make sure you shit on Debra's desk, eat a bagel, and send some faxes. Then jump out the window.

Hey man don't be sad! There're thousands as*holes, especially at work! Ask to the IT guy... If your boss sent an email... for sure there's a trace on the mailserver!

I'm sure there is something you can do if you show the email to the right person

I say this is BS. If it was a company meeting, and you work for the company, why would you need an email specifically from your boss telling you to go? And also, why would your boss expect you to NOT go?

You're the boss in this story aren't you...with backwards logic like that you must have a genetic link in some way...

What an asshole. I guess he just wanted to search for a reason to fire you and this was his idea to do it. It seems to happen a lot.

Your boss had it in for you and set you up. The good news is that with a documented phony cause, you have a better lawsuit than had he simply fired you without cause. When my ex-boss told me it would be "fun" for me to flash my junk to his secretary, it was just verbal.

But that didn't stop you from flashing her, now did it? ;)

Your boss either really wanted to fire you and used this event as an excuse, or he truly is an idiot and fired you to hide his stupidity. Either way, FYL.
