Double blow
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML

Today, I got fired from my first-ever job. Via text. I hadn't even started the first day but I'm expected to drive an hour and a half to my now ex-boss's house to return the key. FML

Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML

Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML

Today, I was fired from my job of 5 years. I was let go because I couldn't take the company to 'the next level'. My now ex-boss asked me if I could process my severance check because he didn't know how. I had to write myself my last paycheck. FML

What did you expect? "You're fired asshole?"

Texting is never the right way for firing or break ups. What happened to being sincere and having a face to face conversation?

The way he/she fired you was very cowardly. There must have been a reason you were fired though op. Sorry.

that's when you go into work the next day like nothing happened. its illegal most places to do something like that. and, if you never answered your boss back and they ask about the text, just say you never received a thing because your phone was acting up. that's what I do when my work calls/texts wanting me to come in on a day off.

You should have replied with, "I hope you burn in the fires of a thousand suns."

You probably had a reason to be fired. I'm sorry about that. But at least your boss wasn't a jerk about it.

Really? How is firing someone by txt not being a jerk? It's right up there on the douche bag list with dumping by txt..
