Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML
Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML
Today, my new supervisor arrived after my old one had transferred away and we had a quick evaluation meeting. As it turns out, I'm not actually a good employee like I thought. I just had a shitty boss who didn't care enough to let me know I wasn't meeting company standards. FML
Today, fifteen minutes before the end of the day, my boss asked me who I was training to replace me. He then said never mind, that it was his job to choose someone. I hadn't indicated that I was planning on leaving the company. FML
Today, my new manager, who I have spent the last three months training, had a managers' meeting and now won't be returning. FML
Today, I started a new yard maintenance job. Before the day had even ended, I got fired, because I apparently didn’t have enough experience, and I moved too slowly. It was supposed to be my training day. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. 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, I finished my last day of job training. At the beginning, the boss had told us to ask as many questions as possible. I was fired because I asked too many questions. FML

Well they shouldn't expect good training from someone they don't think is a good employee. No offense, OP.

If you were an artificial intelligence, we could all breath a sigh of relief that the singularity didn't happen.

To all the people reading this thread, the original comment had about ten dislikes when I commented. Now it's currently sitting at +2. I'm not crazy, okay?

I personally think this comment isn't up toTrip's normal high standards but I think I see Analog on his periodical reading list. recent articles on the singularity in there

Sorry, OP. If they really thought you were that bad at your job, they should've worked with you and given you additional training, rather than having you train someone else. What are they gonna do, fire this person but have them train someone else first and let the cycle continue? Hopefully you get another job soon and do better at that one.

If you have a sub par employee and you give him a trainee do you really expect the trainee to be an improvement? YDI to your former boss

You boss sounds like an incompetent jerk. Send him a bill for your time, as you were no longer on the payroll when he called and he was taking up YOUR time. He deserves the extra annoyance that would cause him when he receives your invoice in the mail.

Damn, that's messed up. The boss firing you was one thing. Calling you to verbally abuse you was a whole other thing that definitely crossed the line. Even if you were bad at your job, you did not deserve to be treated like this. I'm sorry, OP.

This is just one of those that makes you feel bad for humanity as there are some really mean people here.

Did you know that your boss thought you were performing poorly? I'm sorry you lost the job and then got verbally abused. I hope you took the opportunity to tell your former boss off.
