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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

to 45 I live in NC and by law landlord has to give 30 days in an eviction but the tenant also has to be served with an eviction notice for it to be relevant. he can't just tell tenant to get out.

are we talking about actual Indians or native Americans? before you call me stupid, think of all the people that call native Americans Indians. I'm just asking 'cause I'm part native American and I don't smell bad!

On the bright side, if you don't have a job is a good thing that you don't have rent to pay. Seriously, if you weren't told that you were fired, they have to pay you for time worked. and the landlord has to give you 30 days notice.

If he told you 3 weeks ago informing you he will have no money to pay you, why do you still show up to work?

It says that the boss fired him 3 weeks ago but didn't tell him that and told him he was working free because of that

Your boss can not do that, he must pay you. Call the North Carolina Department of Labor at 1-800-NC-LABOR (625-2267). They should be able to help. N.C. General Statutes, Chapter 95, Article 2A Wage and Hour Act, § 95-25.7 Payment to Separated Employees: Employees whose employment is discontinued for any reason shall be paid all wages due on or before the next regular payday either through the regular pay channels or by mail if requested by the employee.

Stand up to both of them. You don't work for free. File a complaint. Your landlord can't put you out in two weeks, lease or no lease. They must give you proper written notice and it would range from 30 to 60 days depending on where you live. If you refuse to leave they can't just put your stuff out on the street you must be evicted and that can be a lengthy process (I've have to evict tenants and believe me - the law favors the tenant).

That's incredibly illegal, you definitely need to be reporting that.

Make sure you check your boss's office door. It might be unlocked, and there may be an envelope with a check for a large sum of money because one of your co-workers tried to rip off the company. Then you can go on a tropical vacation and complain about the big grains of salt on the rim of your margarita when you asked for no salt, and the fact that you asked for a Mai Tai and they brought you a piña colada. Of course, this would be after you set the building on fire and ran away. All jokes aside, this is definitely an FML.
