Today, was my first day back at work since my wife got breast cancer. I come in and see some people with pink slips and frowns. When I get to my desk I find a pink slip, I go up to my boss and start to curse him out for firing me. Only to find out my pink slip was a fundraiser for my wife. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, for the first time since I can remember, I went in to work feeling positive, and that I could make good things happen. At the end of the day, my employment was terminated. FML
Today, we had a family day at my new job. I used to have a very abusive boss in my previous position, who even slapped one co-worker across the face in the office, prompting me to quit. Guess who turns out to be my new manager's wife… FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job. My new boss asked me if I was single. After telling him I have been happily married for 6 years, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I got demoted at work and had a pay cut taken, all because I got sick from cancer and haven't recovered well enough to do every task. We are not short staffed. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML
Today, the day before I was supposed to go back to work after I got sick, ended up in the hospital, and primary doctor put me on medical leave, I got fired. FML

Sorry about your wife. But you shouldn't jump to conclusions like that. YDI.

You shouldn't curse your boss out like that even if he did fire you. You lose any recommendation he could give you.

i don't think this is a fml...because im sure if he cared enough to put the slip on your desk...then it would be easily fixed. I bet he understands your under a lot of pressure. ydi for not calming down.

i think you're a retard for not realizing what the pink slip meant.

#1, you're a baby. And you totally deserved it for not taking the time to realize what the pink slip was for. I mean even I would realize that the pink slip had something to do with breast cancer maybe. he wouldn't fire you after something like that unless he's a total ass.

That's really sad, I mean I would probably think the same thing though, there aren't very many nice people left in the world.FYL

YDI for jumping to conclusions and throwing a temper tantrum. Why would you not take the one second required to look at the piece of paper?

I thought pink was a given. I didn't even have to read this whole FML and I already thought some breast cancer awareness or fund raiser was happening. That must suck op, a lot must have been going on for you, but try not to jump to conclusions.

Maybe the OPhas never gotten fired before, or knows nothing about the process. He took pink slip literally.
