Today, I was fired. Not only was I fired with no warning, not only was my friend the one who fired me, but I was fired from the unpaid volunteering position I took to help her out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML
Today, I got fired from the community service I was doing out of kindness. FML
Today, my best friend was fired from the place we both work at because she's a bad employee. After they fired her she said, "If I go, I'm taking my best friend with me." So they fired me too. I actually liked that job. FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. 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 was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Today, I was fired from my local animal shelter. I was a volunteer and am currently in school for veterinary technology. My education made the paid staff at the shelter feel threatened. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I mean...just because you aren't getting paid, doesn't mean you aren't doing a shitty job.

Not to be "that guy", but if you were fired from an unpaid volunteer position, that would usually mean there was something you weren't doing right. No one fires unpaid help if they're doing everything right. Now mind you, I agree with others, use whatever lack of motivation you had for the unpaid position and flip it into motive to be successful at a paid job.

So ... on a scale of 1 to 10, just how badly did you suck?

We dont know the full story but maybe your friend no longer needed your help and this was their twisted way of trying to motivate you to find a real paid job. Thinking you might not want to look for a paid job if you still had this one.

I fail to see the negatives in this situation.

If I heard someone talking like this, I would definitely be escorting them off of the premises personally and banning them from working or volunteering at whatever location I worked at. I'm guessing whatever the OP did to get fired, if anything, wasn't nearly as bad as this drivel that my eyes were just inflicted with

Well there's some things to clear up.. Maybe knowing why you were fired? If she is really your friend, maybe ask her? Also I agree, paid jobs are much better usually
