Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boss that I quit, and handed in my two week's notice. A couple of hours later, I found my letter of resignation had been photocopied and copies hung all around the office with "Best day ever" written on the bottom. FML
Today, my boss left a lovely invitation to her wedding on my desk. I plan on resigning during our meeting later today. FML
Today, I told my boss I'm going to quit, after months of being abused, doing meaningless work, and working late every day. I was soon given so many new projects that I didn't even have time to write my resignation letter. FML
Today, I tried to quit my job. My boss pulled me into his office and gave me a write-up for quitting, told me that he knows where I live, and that I'd better be at work tomorrow or he's going to come and drag me into work. FML
Today, my boss asked for recommendations on how to improve the office. I sent her an e-mail full of my ideas. Later, my boss sent me a reply, saying, "Here's what head office thinks of your ideas." It contained a list of insults upper management made about me. FML
Today, my boss made sure to do one last thing before he retired. Fire me. FML
Today, my boss made me type up my own written warning, where I had to trash myself and describe my own "shocking incompetence". All the department heads are going to receive a copy of this. FML
Today, my boss sent me some application forms to check over. After I spell-checked them and returned them, I found out they're going to be used to hire someone to replace me. FML
Today, my boss gave me a new assignment at work: go online and look for my own replacement, then interview him. FML
Today, my boss refused my resignation and acted like nothing had happened. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's really rude, you should send him a reply telling him "how to not be such an asshole"

I don't understand why you were thumbed down for this. The FML community abuses that button.

Yeah I wasn't sure either. If by any means I did something wrong if like to know

I think it is because people thought that is a bad idea because that is still her boss. But who knows I will probably get thumbs down too because people are assholes.

Maybe because he's way too cheesy?

There are two sides to every story, there isn't enough information to conclude that OP's boss is automatically an asshole.

Reply by writing his resignation letter to his boss. After all he is the boss, I'm sure he was wanting you to do a task for him.

One entry titled 'How to kill someone with your bare hands.'

Nobody yet pointed out this was after the resignation letter was handed in? I mean we need all conspiracy theories going, not just some.

But then you don't get to collect unemployment.

No, not really.

Being fired can get you severance pay depending on the job.

What an asshole, I hope you disappoint him by staying

Send him a link telling him how to be a good boss

So OP can get fired? Cmon dude, use your logic.

At this point, I wouldn't work for a boss like that. And it sounds like OP's boss is trying to hint to OP to resign rather than having to fire OP. One such possible reason is because OP wouldn't be able to collect unemployment from resigning.

ouch, that's pretty messed up. even if you guys are close and it's just a joke, that's still pretty rude.

Ask if he wants your help. If was for you, forward it to hr. If all else fails go out in style and turn a couple desk and say "No I will not have sex with you for the last time!' and walk out.

Being a boss he should attempt to talk to you in a professional manner. What a wanker.
