Today, my boss sent me some application forms to check over. After I spell-checked them and returned them, I found out they're going to be used to hire someone to replace me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML
Today, my boss gave me a new assignment at work: go online and look for my own replacement, then interview him. FML
Today, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML
Today, I discovered that I needed to reapply for my job in order to have a chance at keeping it. The applications closed yesterday. FML
Today, I received a mass email from my boss saying we had a position open at the daycare I work at. I knew my boyfriend was looking for a job so I insisted he apply. Later at work, my boss takes me into her office and tells me my employment is being "terminated". My boyfriend is replacing me. FML
Today, I found out that I was being laid off via an email that wasn't even spell checked. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML
Today, I went to start my new job, only to find out that the guy who hired me had no permission to do so. I had to fill out another application, and complete another interview and I still might not get the damn job. FML
Today, I found out my ex is applying for a job at my current company. She may become my boss. FML
Today, I got an e-mail regarding an IT support job I applied to. The e-mail had numerous formatting errors due to bad code, and typos all over the place. It said I wasn't qualified for the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I agree, The only thing that makes this fml a bit better is that he knows it's coming and can start looking for a new job. It's still horrible, but OP may have time to find a new job before he gets fired.

Least you got a minor heads up to look for another job. Good luck, OP! Best wishes.

The OP may not be getting fired. The OP could be getting a promotion, the company is expanding or OP may be overworked and is getting an assistant. I could see another FML come out of this if OP jumps to a conclusion and quits: "Today I thought I was going to get fired so I quit. Turned out I was getting a promotion. FML"

Perhaps you're getting transferred, or maybe a promotion.

Should of read them over first, so you could refuse to fill them out. You were getting fired anyway, should of made it harder on your boss. It was his dick move to begin with.
