Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss announced that instead of holiday bonuses being on the cards, the company is going under and we'll all be out of a job next year. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Today, 30 minutes before I was supposed to quit work at 6pm, my boss showed up. After telling him how the day went, he asked why I was still there. Apparently, for the holiday, we close early. 4 hours earlier. FML
Today, after I spent the last year working overtime to prove myself at my tech job, I got an email saying I was laid off due to “strategic restructuring.” My boss posted a vacation picture right after. FML
Today, I found out via a voicemail from my boss that my hours are being cut. He said, "They said I can't fire you, so you'll only be getting 20 hours a week. Starting today." Who'd they give my other 20 hours to? The one person that calls off sick almost daily and is never on time. FML
Today, at our work's Christmas party, our manager got completely trashed and let it slip that our branch is closing. Some of us will be transferred, but about 2/3 of us, including the manager, will be fired on the 1st of January FML

Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If he didn't, you would've written a FML about that, too.

I think the FML here is the fact that the OP got fired because the company needed money and then throws a party, that obviously costs money as well... at least, that'd be my frustration lol

what your saying doesn't really make a lot of sense..... A christmas party would cost no more than a few hundred dollars. but keeping 20 people on staff would cost about $700,000 a year (assuming they all make around $35,000 a year). I can definitely see a christmas party budgeted, where it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to keep those people on staff if the company is hemorrhaging money.....

Do what an old co-worker of mine did when he was give 4 days notice about layoffs, double decker as many toilets as you can (take a dump in the toilet tank not the bowl).

Wow. A) That's disgusting B) Your boss obviously isn't going to be the one cleaning the shit out of the toilet tank, so how would that get back at him for firing you?

A) Your right, it is. B) He may not have had to clean it but the toilets needed to be replaced at cost to the company and it’s a smaller office and the smell was horrific.

ur actually somewhat lucky. all my layoffs were effective immediately with no invitations to a party. in fact the parties were only for the big bosses clearing in taxes what I made a year. lol

Get waisted and be a total party smashes. The worst they can do is fire you... oh wait, they cant!

I'd much rather get elbowed. Or perhaps shouldered.

Pen, come on! I have SOME modesty. Plus, I made a toilet-humor joke yesterday, and one a week is my limit.

After all the stories on your website, I, too, am surprised, Doc.
