Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML

Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML

Monday blues
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, I got a call from my manager saying that I won't need to work this weekend. Too bad I already cancelled a family vacation because he threatened to fire me if I didn't work this weekend. FML

Today, it was the first day of my new job. It was also the last day of my new job. I got a call immediately after finishing my shift to be told the company has "decided to go in a different direction" and will no longer be needing my services. FML

Better than telling you after you got back. Now you can extend your vacation for a good, long time!

That happened to me. But I was told the day after I'd returned from a holiday to Vegas and blown all my savings. oh and it was my dad who sacked me...

Your job went on holiday, too? The timing was awful. Seriously, though, I hope you weren't out of work for long.

You must be joking. Extend you vacation and spend more money you don’t have when you got laid off? When you get laid off the number 1 priority is finding a new job and income, not vacationing and spending more money.

Why yes, he is joking. You must be new, here.

Yep, that happened to me last year, went away for three weeks and came back to a letter that arrived an hour after I left for my holiday telling me that I was being made redundant.
