Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. 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 fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, I was fired for job abandonment. Yesterday, my boss told me to go home early because we were so slow. After I reminded him, he laughed and said, "Oh yeah... You're still fired." FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. He then fired me. Upset, I asked him, "Well, who's gonna replace me?" His answer was, "I don't know and don't care. Everyone who works here hates you. Now go away." 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, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML

You wouldn't go to your job if you knew you were fired the day before. OP isn't to blame, it's the idiot boss. FYL OP.

But what he should have done is play it off. "Why did you miss work?" "Sorry, [excuse]." "Well make sure you're there tomorrow!!" "Ok." Even if they DID eventually find out, the worst they could do would be to fire him.

24 - or they could Milton OP, office space. except you run the risk of not having a glitch, and have to fight for pay. court. etc. Unless it went like this OP: what are you going to do, fire me? Boss: Yep. OP: leaves. not actually ever officially fired.

24 that would work except usually the boss that is in charge of employees and attendance isnt in charge of writing the checks so the OP would be working for free.

maybe the fire text was meant for boss' girlfriend... "I'm sick of you! we're threw! I wish you the best! Take care".

It's spelled "through" in that context. Hope you aren't trying to impress potential employers with your spelling.

You're better off working for someone who isn't an idiot!

Better to work for an idiot with money than a Poor Genius

I beg to differ. But whatever.

In real life, it is always better to have an idiotic boss, trust me. When you start having a real job, you will understand.

No a smart boss who knows what he's doing will always be the better option. I'd rather do it right the first time and unfortunately if you don't know this you might want to get a serious job

Grizz8831 14
