Today, I was fired because I spoke up about a supervisor mistreating me. The assistant VP spent the meeting demeaning me to “teach me a lesson” and then said she was firing me because I “stirred the pot." Man, I really loved that job but I won’t miss the toxic work culture. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I was terminated from my job. This comes after I sent HR an email about an inappropriate relationship between my manager and a counselor. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, I was fired from my job because I, in my boss's words, "Abided by company policy to such an extent that customers were starting to hate me." FML
Today, after a supervisor, who is a Donald Trump fanatic, kept pestering us with the subject, I decided to debate with him, never swearing or disrespecting him at all. I was fired, presumably for disrespecting a supervisor. FML
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, the manager that hired me and worked for years to inspire and connect her staff was laid to rest. Hours before the funeral, her replacement told me he wanted my two weeks notice on his desk tonight. I've been a model employee, he just doesn't like me. FML
Today, I found out that no matter how friendly a coworker is to you, never vent to them about how the job "is a total shitjoint but pays good” and that the manager “sounds like Cyndi Lauper on crack.” Apparently a listening ear is also a running mouth. I was fired. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That’s not right. I don’t know where you’re living but if possible you should file a lawsuit against that company for wrongful termination. Gather as much proof as you can to support the fact that your supervisor was mistreating you.

You really might love the results of the "wrongful dismissal lawsuit" though.

I live in a "Right to work" state and you can be fired at anytime with or without a reason. So all of this sounds pretty normal.

even in a right-to-work state, you can at least spread the word about the toxic culture.

But even in right to work states, if they do give you a reason that’s illegal or you can prove that it was discrimination or for whistleblowing (as is the case here), you can sue.

Whistleblowers aren’t as protected as one might think. Hell, workman’s comp lawsuits aren’t even easy to fight if you have all the evidence in the world. The problem is, in a right to work state (like Nebraska where I am) most of the laws were drafted (or amended) by lobbying by companies that pull this crap. Workers may be told they have rights, but the limit is to where a company will sponsor an amendment that is cheaper than fighting your lawsuit, so by the time you get to court (usually years later) the illegal basis you were fired on is no longer illegal and the prosecution fails in court. Thus screwing everyone. I’ve experienced this personally. And I was terminated for getting hurt by my employer’s malicious negligence. I got a big fat $0 after my former employer had laws amended that made what they did legal, leaving the blame on me (a heavy load someone piled up injured me, and the amended made it my fault if it injured me rather than the unsafe osha configuration they set up). Sadly this happens everywhere. Right to work means you have the right to work somewhere else, you’re fired!
