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, 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?

what a chicken shit way of doing things. your boss or ex-boss needs to grow some big "ones" and start doing business the professional way.

Awh man, I've been let go from a job before via text and it isn't nice. Plus, it's so impersonal and so difficult to 'see' their tone of voice, so to speak, that they can make you feel like a really shitty person even if you weren't fired through any fault of your own.

it depends on OP's situation... I did the hiring/firing at a construction site where I hired a good friend of mine. He didn't pull his weight, was late or didn't show up. The last day he didn't show up I texted him and told him not to come back except to sign the papers stating why he was being let go..
