Today, my boss claimed that I've been lying to get days off because apparently nobody can be so unlucky as to have three family members die within a month. I'm just that unlucky, and suspended. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss called me a liar and untrustworthy. Why? Yesterday I went home to grieve, after finding out my father figure is in hospice, but because he's just in hospice and not actually dead yet, that somehow means I lied about his death to get a day off work. What? FML
Today, I got written up and may be placed under suspension due to my recent five consecutive day unscheduled absence. When I told them I was on bereavement leave, they still wouldn't accept my excuse, because it's still considered as "unscheduled." FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, I got fired for taking time off to see my sister in the hospital after she got in a car accident. Before I got fired, I found out my boss took time off because her horoscope said she should. FML
Today, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, I found out my boss wrote me up because he heard me crying on the phone, and that it was unprofessional. I was talking to my sister, who was telling that me my father had died. Three weeks ago, he was crying about his dog breaking his leg. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML

Just show him their death certificates, that'll shut him up. I'm sorry for your loss. All of them.

So bring copies of the announcement from the paper, and then look for another job!

I'd report that to your corporate office.

I am so sorry for your losses. Shoe your boss the obituaries and prove to him that you weren't lying.

I think nailing horse shoes on OPs boss is an excellent idea. The pain and humiliation the boss suffers should give him an idea of how OP felt.

Show him the death certificates. The funeral home will have official motives you can use.

Whip out your chainsaw and your boss will then consider your story as being somewhat more plausible ;)

Why not show him their death certificates? And sue him for work loss

Take every bit of proof you can to the HR. Like the announcements they hand at the funerals, so they know you went, and when you can get it the copy of the death certificates. Unless you are one of those people who call in all the time your boss has no right to make assumption. Now make an ass out of him.
