Today, I was fired for having a haircut that was 'inappropriate for the workplace'. I have alopecia. My boss told me to stop making up excuses. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I almost got fired from work because a customer complained that I "threw up gang signs" at him. I was blocking the sun from my eyes. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, my boss fired me for being "too morally ambiguous". I work at a bagel shop and had told a customer that I was indifferent towards cream cheese. FML
Today, I found out that mishearing my boss and laughing at what I thought he said can make him think I'm high and nearly force me to submit to a drug test. FML
Today, my family took me to a wig store saying I wouldn't feel so insecure about being bald because of my chemo treatments. When I told them I accepted myself and didn't want a wig, they came out and told me THEY couldn't accept it. My own family is embarrassed of me over something I can't control. FML
Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, my boss admitted that he seriously regrets hiring me, but can't really do anything about it because that would make the senior management question his judgment, making him look bad. So he's just 'putting up' with me. FML
Today, I was at work laminating a large photo. While I was doing this, I had a sudden itch on my nut sack. So I quickly scratched it away. When the customer came to pick up the print, I noticed that one of my pubic hairs had laminated itself on the cheek of the woman in the photograph. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you need to get some free legal advice, just call any lawyer in the phonebook and ask for a consultation. you are a new client, so the first 30 min is free.

Alopecia is the universe's way of telling you that you should be bald. Shave your head and hope that you don't have a raisin scalp.

Depending on the laws of your State you may not be able to sue. I live in an at will State. That means I have a job only at the will of my employer, they can fire me at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. I'd consult a Labor Law atty if I were you.

If they have been medically diagnosed, then it supercedes the states laws and goes right up to federal law. And they are protected by federal law.

They can't fire you for ANY reason in a right to work state. Federal anti-discrimination laws still apply. As long as they don't STATE a reason, their asses are covered. However, if they tell you why you are fired and the reason they state falls under federal protection, the employer is guilty of wrongful termination. You cannot legally be fired anywhere in the United States because of race, gender, blah blah blah all the usual protected classes, which include medical conditions. The only exception is if your condition makes you unable to perform the required tasks of the job. My father was permanently laid off from his job as a forklift driver because he developed a seizure disorder and posed a danger to himself and others, and there was no other job in the company for which he was qualified and which he could safely perform (it was at an ammunition plant).

There are different forms of alopecia. Some are lifelong, and others can go away. My mom had it, and hers also went away after about a year. Her's was due to so much stress that it basically screwed over every part of her body. It's not something that goes away like a cold, but it can go away if you have certain types. It can also start suddenly and progress quickly.

what's alopecia?
Zebidee 9
*highlight word* *right click* *select 'Search Google for "alopecia"'* *left click on 'Alopecia areata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia'* Alopecia areata (AA) is a condition affecting humans, in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body, usually from the scalp. Anything else we can do for you?

It is an autoimmune disorder that causes a person to lose their hair. The hair loss can be anywhere(scalp, arms, face, ect.) and can be as severe as being totally bald or as mild as just having a tiny bald spot
