Today, I was telling my coworker that I was considering quitting the shady, 50-shades-of-scum business we work at. He snitched to our boss, who quickly fired me on bullshit charges of incompetence, theft, and workplace bullying. I guess I'm not getting a good reference from him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I begged the people at my new job not to call my current boss for a reference because he is a vindictive dog shite. They called him for a reference, he tanked me, they believed him and withdrew my job offer. My boss also sacked me for disloyalty, thus proving he’s a vindictive dog shite. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, my boss fired me because a coworker had seen me reading magazines on the job. That same coworker was the one who offered me the magazine. FML
Today, after I'd asked my brother be my reference for a job, he made up some story about a 9-month contract, then the work was done so they told me not to come anymore. My potential new boss told me how big of a liar I was and how it cost me the job. FML
Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML
Today, I regret calling my hardass boss a cocksucking bastard when I quit a few months back. My new job just laid me off, and I could desperately use a good reference from the aforementioned cocksucking bastard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never ever talk about things like this to a coworker, it's basically asking for them to snitch and start trouble.

Sometimes its just better to suck it up & deal with shit. Dont trust NOBODY especially when its about bosses & coworkers, worst mistake you can do. Next time just quit in peace & keep them opinions to yourself.

This is why I don't have a lot of work friends....they're all back stabbers I tell Ya! Especially if you have the job they want....any reason to make you sound bad to the pic, they'll jump at it! I know I may sound negative, but 27 years of work teaches you things about ppl! So when you meet someone who's nice and caring at work, it takes you by surprise!!

If what he's labelled on you is untrue, and they have no evidence for (I.e. Theft should have been reported, and previous warnings would have been given for incompetence etc), then chase him for I just dismissal. There's plenty of government support and agencies out there who can help you. in New Zealand, the law states that a boss must give first verbal, then written, then formal meeting. Each stage boss must have an open mind and be unbiased. If they breach any of those protocols, then company can be commercially illegal in terms of labour laws and fined heavily.

Yeah but this is in the United States. Laws about that are far more lax here.

YDI for talking about it in your workplace to a coworker which you should NEVER do. But then again, for your boss to charge you with all of that is bs. I hope that doesn't affect your next job! Now you know not to do that though.

It's hard to keep quiet about stuff like that but always advisable as you can't fully trust any co worker, in my opinion anyway.

He tacked on quite a few things there...which were probably not true...right?

Never tell your coworkers something like that! Sorry you got treated so badly though. That blows.

Maybe i am missing the point but why are you complaining you got fired if you were just going to quit anyway?
DeadHorseman 11
cause the next person who employs him will see that he got fired instead of quitting and it doesn't look good.

He called it a shady company i don't think he'd get a good reference either way.
