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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Well, in a scum business you can reasonably expect to have scum coworkers! Why trust them?

You shouldn't want that reference anyway, but wrongful termination lawyers here you come.

Due to being fired and not quitting you're eligible for unemployment. Not the worst thing ever...

That's what i love about Canada, incompetence is not a valid reason to fire someone so bosses can't pull shit like that

At least they can't say anything bad about you to future employers. Unless you have them down as a character reference, if they are just listed in employment history, they can't say anything bad about you. Only facts. They can say you worked there, how long, etc. They can't say you got fired for all of that because there is probably no evidence, so you could actually sue them for saying negative things to a future employer.

At least op can mooo-ve on now to a job where his cow-orkers are not milking him for information to go charging to his bull-headed boss to grass him up. #42 I calf believe you would take advantage of someone's spelling mistake like that.
