Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML

The blame game

Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML

Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML

Today, at work, I accidentally walked into a meeting at which the whole company was there but me. The meeting was about how they could legally fire me while paying as little severance as possible. I'm the CEO and the founder of the company. FML

Bad timing

Today, I was at a big meeting at work. The CEO was reaming the hell out of us for our recent poor profits, when I accidentally let rip a vile fart. I was then subjected to a 10 minute tirade of abuse for "trying to be a funny man", and told that whatever small chance I had for a promotion is now gone. FML

Today, I went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. 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 shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML

Today, my new supervisor arrived after my old one had transferred away and we had a quick evaluation meeting. As it turns out, I'm not actually a good employee like I thought. I just had a shitty boss who didn't care enough to let me know I wasn't meeting company standards. FML

Today, after coming out of a meeting during which I promised my employees better wages, I was met at the door by my CEO telling me to lay off all the employees I just talked to. FML

Wow. Well, eventually the CEO will discover that he sucks... He's bound to mess up again. I'm just sorry they didn't figure it out before firing you!

That's sad that he is unable to take the blame when the fault was no ones but his. I'm sure the CEO will find out what type of person he actually is and he will get what he deserves. FYL

That sounds like the perfect opportunity to sue the living daylight out of that company. Can you prove you did everything right? If yes, take them on. Wrongful termination or so, right? You probably won't get your job back, but it'll give you the satisfaction that the CEO will find out sooner about your loser of a boss and you may walk away with some extra cash.

Yea cuz wrongful termination. Just make sure there actually is proof that you did nothing wrong though. Plus some lawyers will take your case for free and you pay them if/when you win the case

Those types of lawyers are very rare though. And even if they do, they only take cases that they have an excellent chance of winning. Still, if OP can find one and has enough proof ready before meeting with said lawyer, then OP will be perfectly a-okay.
