Today, I was offered a job that pays almost double what I'm currently making. I just found out that it requires me to relocate to Florida. I'm forced to turn it down to protect my young trans daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML
Today, I was offered a job that pays far more than I expected, being a high school senior. My parents decided they aren't letting me take the job, saying I should enjoy my childhood. They're also not paying for my college, which is why I was looking for work in the first place. FML
Today, I had to turn down a huge job promotion that would have meant a bigger salary and more benefits because it would have required me to move, and my wife and kids absolutely refuse to leave behind the farm we live on or all the animals. FML
Today, after months of searching, I was offered a job. After hearing how excited I was on the phone, HR docked the initial salary offer by 40% in the written contract. She said it was non-negotiable. Guess I'm back to job hunting. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML
Today, I got a better job offer out of the blue, more pay, less work. I informally accepted and handed my notice as legally required. They rescinded the job offer. I'm now unemployed at the end of hiring season. FML
Today, I was offered my dream job. When I gave my current employer my 2+ weeks notice so they'd have time to find a replacement, I was told to pack up and leave immediately. Now I'm out a month's pay because I gave notice instead of just leaving. FML
Today, I was told a job offer that would've changed my life had been taken back, due to one part in the onboarding process. I’ve already sold my car, ended the lease to my apartment, and purchased a non refundable plane ticket. With little to no money and the Christmas break coming soon, I feel like I’m going to die with no backup plan. FML
Today, after quitting my job to take a very attractive position with a competitor, I was told the position was no longer being offered. I'm now on my way to file for unemployment. FML
Today, I found out my daughter has a higher paid job in the same company I work in. I also found out she is dating my boss. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There will be other jobs, but you only have the one daughter. I’m very sorry that you had to make that choice, but please know that I am proud of you for making it, and I’m sure your daughter will appreciate it.

You need to send this story to the Florida Democratic Party and the Biden campaign. People need to know the damage that Shitface DiSantis is causing with his Putin-esque Culture War.

You made the right choice.

depends on how young your daughter is…if she is too young to decide life choices for herself then you are guilty of child abuse

People keeping kids away from school and home schooling them: parental choice. Them failing at home schooling, but still not sending them to school: technically not allowed but practically allowed. Parents using humiliation as punishment: parental choice. Public humiliation: parental choice, maybe a visit from CP and a tap on the fingers, but we aren't actually gonna stop you. Parents refusing you permission to have a job, but kicking you out the day you are 18 though you are in your last year of high school: parental choice. Etc etc etc There's so many actually damaging FOR LIFE choices that parents can and DO often make, legally allowed, often times they're even legally protected to do such things... so why are we focusing on a non-issue like parents projecting trans on their kids? That pathway has a shitton of red tape even if you are actually trans. You need how many therapists before even being allowed to lift a pinky?

Let's actually focus on actual child abuse like a child being physically beaten rather than focusing on a parent supporting their child.

Mental abuse is also child abuse.

You definitely made the right choice. Sucks, but hold your head up high.

Anyone who voted YDI: You have no idea what's going on and you should feel bad.

You made the right choice, Florida is becoming one of the worst places on the planet.

They are sure trying, but they're getting stiff competition from Texas. While DeSantis is effectively turning Florida into a hellhole, Greg Abbot is proving everything is bigger in Texas including cruelty, bigotry and government mind control.
