Today, I was told by a former coworker that my former boss still talks about me being lazy, ever since the time I refused to do a few things on third shift when there was me and 2 other people working. I haven't worked there in 3 months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into my former workplace. While there, an ex-coworker told me that after I quit, they split my position into two separate jobs. When I worked there, my boss had told me to suck it up whenever I said there was too much work for just one person. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, my coworker, who constantly no-shows, ranted to me about his work hours being reduced. He somehow doesn't realize that he's the problem. We're understaffed as of now, so they can't fire him, and I have to be there constantly to make up for him being a lazy ass. My days off have been few and far between. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss claimed that I've been lying to get days off because apparently nobody can be so unlucky as to have three family members die within a month. I'm just that unlucky, and suspended. FML
Today, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I was fired for job abandonment. Yesterday, my boss told me to go home early because we were so slow. After I reminded him, he laughed and said, "Oh yeah... You're still fired." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That would be a waste of money. The boss is expressing an opinion based on a fact that she refused to do work. Slander means spreading malicious lies, and his opinion, while harsh, is not invalid.

Workplace chatter often relies on recalling old legends. Unfortunately, you're saddled with legendary laziness.

1. It's not slander if it's true. 2. Skander cases are extremely hard to oroove 3. Unless the you can prove the slander affected you financially or kept you from getting a job, you won't have a case.

It would be one thing if the former boss was saying this to prospective employers, however sounds like the guy is just complaining about his not wanting to do what boss tasked him to do.

keep laughing, I just hope you never have to deal with this crazy shit. OP hasn't worked there in 3 months and is still a topic of discussion? creepy.

Usually when managers try to train you they say don’t do this or that. The fact that you refused to do tasks assigned from your manager shows your laziness.

I'm not sure how to interpret this... either OP was working a triple shift, and then I could agree this is an FML. However, if OP was just one of a third set of people going in... it's a YDI.
