Today, I lost my job, neither by quitting or getting fired. I don't know whether to be mad or confused. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, I lost my job. This was a surprise, as my performance hasn’t ever been an issue. My boss couldn’t look me in the eye while it happened, and the HR representative cut me off when I tried to ask why, informing me that they would only answer benefit-related questions. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I got terminated. I don’t know how to tell my family that I no longer have a job. FML
Today, after resigning from my current job, I was let go from the new job I hadn't even started yet. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, after quitting my job to take a very attractive position with a competitor, I was told the position was no longer being offered. I'm now on my way to file for unemployment. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML
Today, I returned to work after taking two days off to find I'd been fired. Why? For not being at work on those two days. Everything was agreed in writing, all trace of which has mysteriously vanished. I can't work until HR sorts it out, and nobody can tell me how long that'll take. FML

You should be both! I'm mad at you for writing such a confusing FML. Get your facts straight before you come here to complain.

Or he got furloughed Or the company closed Or his work visa expired Or there never was a job and it was all a dream. So many possibilities!
