Today, it's been five days since I started my new job in a new town, and just signed the lease on my new apartment too. Now I find out the company's closing down, and since I'm still on probation, I'm told I'm not entitled to any kind of severance. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. FML
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
Today, I finalized my new car purchase after three months on the job at a new company. Two hours later, I was informed that my position has been eliminated. I have two weeks to find a new job or I'm completely screwed. FML
Today, I was fired from my job of 5 years. I was let go because I couldn't take the company to 'the next level'. My now ex-boss asked me if I could process my severance check because he didn't know how. I had to write myself my last paycheck. FML
Today, I started an awesome job with competitive pay. I also found out that the place is closing its doors in June. FML
Today, it was the first day of my new job. It was also the last day of my new job. I got a call immediately after finishing my shift to be told the company has "decided to go in a different direction" and will no longer be needing my services. FML
Today, after resigning from my current job, I was let go from the new job I hadn't even started yet. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, after five different interviews, I got an offer for a great job. I was excited to fill out paperwork and get the ball rolling, until they called and said that I didn't pass the criminal background check. I get off probation in less than a week. 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

I can't believe they hired op if they obviously knew they were having such trouble! It's so inconsiderate of them to have hired you while knowing they're having major difficulties, but having you move out of town for this job on top of it all is just insane! I'm so mad for you! I would try talking to a lawyer about this. Yes you were only on probation but they hired you and had you move for this job, even though they knew they were having major financial difficulties. Maybe there's nothing that can be done, but maybe there is. I'd ask a lawyer just to see. So sorry op. This is one of the most frustrating fml's I've ever read. I'm actually mad for you!

Think of the poor talent scout. How do you approach someone with a job opportunity as a fart **** actor/actress!?

What did Sue ever do to you?! She's a nice lady!

No, no, they're saying "When in doubt, Sue!" - meaning you must act like Sue, as she's a top-class lady. Phew, glad I cleared that up!
