Today, my crazy bitch of a boss fired me for inappropriate conduct. Apparently my "fake Nazi accent" is "offensive to our Jewish coworkers." I'm German. I have no way to change the way I speak, or to pay this month's bills. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. FML
Today, my boss told me I wasn't getting the promotion I'd been angling for. I was so pissed off, I ranted to a coworker about it over lunch. Turns out my boss was just testing how I dealt with rejection before making his final decision. He overheard my rant and me calling him a Nazi bitch. FML
Today, my boss thought it was funny to fire me by putting on dark sunglasses and saying "You have been terminated" in a bad Arnold Schwarzenegger voice. FML
Today, I received a two-page letter/rant from my boss notifying me of my imminent dismissal, based on issues such as me "speaking in a suppressed voice." FML
Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML
Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. FML
Today, I sat in my boss's office as he bitched me out for being "too sarcastic" to our customers. After nearly half an hour of him criticizing my "piss-poor attitude," he asked me what I was going to do to fix it. Without thinking, I said, "Your mom." Now I'm jobless again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Nazi accent"? Nazi isn't a dialect or a language. It's a political group. What does a libertarian accent sound like, I wonder?

Seems your boss was just looking for a reason to fire you, no matter what the excuse. But firing you based on your accent sounds like discrimination to me.

Yes, that is because it is discrimination. OP's former boss is an ignorant fool, and needs to be taught the error of their ways, with crowbar.

How ironic... your boss is the one being offensive, since... German ≠ Nazi. FYL.

Pretty sure firing someone for being German is a lot more racist...um, are there any higher-ups you can report your boss to? File an unfair dismissal complaint thing?

Seeing as how you are from the US, this IS the correct time to sue. Federal law actually forbids firing somebody based on nationality, so...you're about to retire off your former employer.

She has no right to fire you because of your accent. Bring her to court for wrongful dismissal.

Sue. It was a bullshit reason for letting you go. The moment that the boss hired you, they should've realized hey so and so's German. So yeah sue.

Although I usually think that Americans sue too often and for some really stupid reasons - I would agree, sue. Accent is not something you can readily change just because you travelled to a different country - I know it from experience, it's enough that I say three words and everybody knows where I come from. There are some people who find it easier to change the accent - I guess they have an incredible hearing and also just same innate ability to do this - but for most of us, it's not possible at all if we don't start learning another language when we are 3-4 years old.
