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?

That is not legal. If you worked, they HAVE to pay you, end of story. I'd take them to court or get a lawyer and threaten to sue if I were you. And sorry about the lease thing, that sucks. I hope you have some place to go.

I smell a lawsuit.

You could sue and win; however if they have no money as it is, they are likely to be declaring bankruptcy which means you get a legal bill and the feeling of avenging yourself with no hope of recovering a monetary award. If they do not declare bankruptcy you could earn yourself a pretty penny or two and get your old boss slapped with a fine.

Wow. Definently file a law suit on your boss, that has to be illegal!

Not only does it have to be illegal - it IS. Can you say the word: sue? because that is what you're gonna have to do.. It might also be a good idea, because you can sue them for more than you worked for (; (atleast, thats possible in some states)
