Today, the company I was fired from three years ago merged with the company I work at now. The new owners' first order of business was to fire me again. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was informed that the company I work for has been taken over by the previous company I worked for. I left that company with a burn-out, after years of 60-75 hour weeks, so I'll soon be working for them again in the exact same department I so happily left behind last year. FML
Today, the company I work for is now under new ownership. Somehow, this set off a series of events that resulted in the best boss I've ever had being effectively fired. I'm badly disabled, and she was the only thing stopping me from experiencing rampant ableism at work. I may be jobless again very soon. FML
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, after nearly eight months of unemployment, I started a great new job. After seven and a half hours of work, my new boss comes up to tell me what a great job I was doing, but that he somehow forgot to clear the new hire with the company owner, so I'm fired. Hello, unemployment... again. FML
Today, I was fired for the second time in as many days. I received a letter notifying me that I would no longer be working for the company, effective immediately. When I did not attend work the next day, I received a phone call firing me for not turning up. FML
Today, my boss thanked me for all my hard work and promised me a raise and a promotion. Shortly thereafter, she sent out a memo announcing she'd sold the company. The new owner immediately came in to "restructure." I got demoted. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. 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, my old company merged with a new one. I was calling our old clients, and ended up speaking with a reporter who was investigating our company for fraud. I now have a meeting with the CEO tomorrow morning. I just started. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My husband was recently fired as well. He is an IT in the hospital in a 100 mile radius. He was hired through an IT contracting company that relocated us to an area that is 3.5 hours from our families. This was his first and only assignment with them and his contract expired after a three month period. Well, the hospital loved his work so much that they promised him a permanent position with them as soon as his contract expired. It expired last week. One of his co-workers, that is an employee of the hospital itself and not the IT contractors, got promoted last month and as soon as he was promoted he walked up to my husband and told him that he hates him and that he's fired when his contract is up! That hospital needs him desperately because he is so good at his job. He had saved their ass on numerous occasions in the short three months he was there. One example being that they had a virus that infected all 90 computers. It made it necessary for the IT techs to go to each computer and long in for the nurses and other staff every shift due to the virus. Very time consuming. He not only found the solution to the problem, which every tech had tried to do for months before my husband was there, but also fixed every computer there at the same time! And this was obviously no simple fix. If one mistake was made they would probably have had to replace every computer. That's how serious the virus was. The hospital's CEO saw him do this and praised his ingenuity and that's when he was promised to permanent position with them. And then he was betrayed and fired just because somebody didn't like him! How petty can you be?

My understanding was that sometimes mergers come with job losses on both sides, to avoid redundancy. Why have two people for one position? Maybe its just bad luck and not a personal vendetta. Its still a horrible thing, but...

Did you see it coming? I bet when your old company first started buying your new one.. You knew exactly what was going to happen?

55-that sucks! But seriously nobody wants to read your rant about your husband losing his job and how unfair it was.
