Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, after spending months building my boss 3 websites and finishing them, I was fired via a short email, saying she didn't need my help anymore. I only worked for her for 3 months, so basically I stopped being useful when I finished her websites. FML
Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. 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 was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Today, my employer fired me, less than a week before I could become permanent full-time staff. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, after being told two weeks ago that my contract would be renewed, my boss managed to tell me that actually he had other applicants for the job. I will be let go, but he offered me two months extra so I could finish the projects he had me working on. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, as usual, I got to my internship early, did everything my bosses asked. At the end of the day, I was fired after 3 weeks of working unpaid overtime because they found an applicant with more experience for the job I applied to and they wanted to cut costs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP deserves for not knowing the laws! Your employer is required to pay you for work performed. You cannot be fired in the past like that. Termination requires notification. It isn't illegal to occupy a residence without a lease, but it's a bad idea. Regardless, the landlord is required to give you 30 days notice, lease or no lease. It's the law. So talk to both. If they don't correct things, go to the Department of Labor for the job and the if the landlord tries to remove you before 30 days, call law enforcement.

The job thing sucks, but how did you not see your apartment thing coming? I mean, you signed the lease; you should know when it expires...

Month to month "leases" usually start when the real lease expires, and sometimes people don't sign leases and start on a month to month right off the bat.

tgis definitely isnt legal. you ate avsolutly not allowed to work for free and if your boss actually said that he wouldnt pay you fo work already performed then you got a rock solid case. this isn't an FML at all. it seems to me that you just won the lottery. Hello easy settlement!

Who cares how good the case is, if the employer doesn't have any money, you're not going to get any from a lawsuit. You'll go through all that trouble and cost of hiring a lawyer (who will probably not want to take the case in the first place considering the lack of solvency) and only have a legal bill and a judgment against the employer that will never get paid through. "It isn't illegal to occupy a residence without a lease, but it's a bad idea. Regardless, the landlord is required to give you 30 days notice, lease or no lease. It's the law." No it's not. Depends on the state and depends on what's in your lease. If you had a lease up to this point and the landlord acknowledged that you were still there, you've become a hold-over tenant, which basically gives you a month-to-month lease, as long as you're paying rent. If you paid rent already for this month, you have a case to stay for the rest of it, but if you haven't and it's a new month, you're likely out of there legitimately.

I think #42 was referring to squatters rights. I could be wrong, though.

So get his ass throw in jail! He just scammed weeks of work out of the op he should pay even if op gets nothin out of it! Don't let the deuche think he can get away with that!

by law you have to be paid for those 3 weeks since you did work and the landlord is required to give you 30 days to vacate not 2 weeks. You could definitely sue.

OP, thank you for posting an actual fml. I don't have much to say besides "I'm truly sorry that happened to you" 4 nice critical eye.
