Today, I was fired, all because I asked my manager for help on the line when we were short staffed and he was on his butt in the office. He said it wasn't his job to help us. Apparently, asking your manager for help when you're busy gets you fired. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, I finished my last day of job training. At the beginning, the boss had told us to ask as many questions as possible. I was fired because I asked too many questions. FML
Today, I was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Today, my boss was angry at me because I had filed a complaint about him refusing to change our phone service to something more reliable. Later, a customer called him and said I had hung up on him. I got fired. I didn't hang up on the customer, the phone service just dropped the call. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Today, I was fired for asking HR to move me to another department, due to my manager's unethical behaviour against me. The alternative was shut up and look for another job. Which I have to do now. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML
Today, the people who gave me no training or instruction on how to do my job tried to fire me, because asking for clarification apparently means I'm incompetent. FML
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It is most certainly his job to get off his ass and to help anyone who is in needs anywhere in the store. Whatever was in the office most certainly could have waited until after things calmed down on the line.

It's a managers job to do all of that AND help out their employees wherever it's needed. A management position is so much more work, and why it comes with a pay raise. This isn't elementary school, where supervising means watching everyone else do the work.

Yeah! How dare he sit on his butt in the office... filling out acquisition request forms and... updating payroll... and catching up on incident reports that have been piling up for three weeks... and keeping updated with the police about the homeless guy who was trying to break into customer cars last night when you weren't on shift. How dare he, indeed!

It's more likely you were fired for interrupting his video game or his jerk-off sesh.

This is a HAPPY occasion! You get to get out of that nasty situation early, if he was going to fire you for that then you're better off somewhere else with a manager who cares. (or doesn't care at all)

That sucks. I'm sorry. I hope you're able to get unemployment and can move on to a better job. I don't get why so many managers are power tripping egotistical maniacs.

I still don't know how all of these people on FML get fired for trivial bullshit? It's almost impossible to fire anyone over here unless they have done something serious.

Welcome to the USA where if you are in an at will state, you can be fired for just about anything. Enjoy your stay.

That is extremely poor management, and while it may suck now, he did you a favor - you don't want to work under someone like that. Regardless of what a manager may be doing, customer service is #1 in any retail establishment. When I used to work in Walgreens, we were required to call for a manager if the line got more than 3 people deep. If we didn't, and someone complained, we would get in trouble. I eventually made management when I worked there. Sometimes I got paged at the shittiest times, including while on my break. That's part of the job. That's why they pay you more and why its a harder position to obtain.

It's exactly the same at my job, even the 3 people in line rule. Customer service should alway be the priority.

And now we know why the place was short-staffed.
