Today, is the start of the third month that I prayed I would be fired, just so I didn't have to quit because I hate awkward conversations. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that the new management position I'm supposed to start in two days was delayed for a month and a half. I already quit my current job and called my boss gay. FML
Today, I found out that I have three weeks to get better at my shitty job before we start discussing my "future" with the company. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. 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 fired me because he wants to start dating my mother and apparently doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, I got fired from a job I had already resigned from after agreeing to stay on and help them out for an extra month, despite having no contract. They fired me because a colleague refused to work with me anymore because I wouldn't date him. FML
Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to quit my job. I waited an hour to speak to the boss; I finally sat down with her, and she told me I had to be let go because I'm not "reliable enough." The only time I missed work was when I had the stomach flu. I was fired before I could even quit. FML
Today, my social awkwardness got to an all-time high when I hoped that I wouldn't get the job that I applied for, because I'd be working with the public. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should really quit OP, not only will you not be stuck in a job you don't want anymore but it will look better for future employers if you quit rather than get dismissed.

Well think about it. If you had quit three months ago, that "awkward conversation" would have been long forgotten, out of hindsight by now. It's best to just get it over and done with, because sooner or later you and your boss will have forgotten about it.

Some advice. Try something from the following: 1) getting drunk at work 2) sleeping at work 3) not coming to work 4) playing RPG at work ... And it doesn't involve speaking at all. You're welcome!

Are you going to spend your life avoiding confrontation? I used to hate it too till the day I decided to stop being a doormat. You can do it too.

Wait to get fired. They'll have to legally give you a severance pay or package.

You don't get a severance package for being fired... That's if you get laid off.

Perhaps one day your prayers will be answered. In the meantime try to line up another job, once you accept the new job, you can give notice to your current job, shouldn't be awkward at that point, people do y his ass 'll of the time. Best of luck to you.
