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 They rescinded the job offer.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.

Kudos to you for wanting to protect your kid! I don't want to step foot in Florida either, just out of principle

You did the right thing by not going to Florida but you did it for the wrong reason. If you truly love your son, you will help him realize he is not girl. Not by sending him to crazy conversion therapy. But by just telling him the truth about human nature. Apart a tiny number of people who are truly in between sex, your body dictates your gender and not to whom you will be attracted by.

you should help your child face up biological reality instead of encouraging his dangerous behavior. That would be protecting your daughter!
