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?

you could sue your boss. there are labor laws you know. you could also go after your landlord. in most states they have to give 30 days notice. so you could end up on top here.

Yeah, I call BS. You live in the US. Your boss cannot do that. Neither can your landlord. When you are not on a lease, you are a month to month tenant. He needs to give you 30 days notice minimum. You either gravitate to sketchy people and are very naive or you made this up.

Take your boss to court. If you weren't informed about being let go, they have to pay you whether they have the money or not. It's illegal for employees to work for free unless it's in a contract somewhere. Sucks about the apartment tho...

unless you were told 3 weeks ago and chose to ignore him, its illegal for him to do that. take that sorry ass to court!
