Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I tried to quit my job. My boss pulled me into his office and gave me a write-up for quitting, told me that he knows where I live, and that I'd better be at work tomorrow or he's going to come and drag me into work. FML

Today, I received a call from a company attempting to steal me away. Flattered, I told them I liked my job and the answer was no. When I told my boss, he said they're thinking about laying me off and I should've taken the job. FML

Today, I learned that I’m being forced to go back to a position I do not want, or find a new job. I’ve been with the company for 12 years. FML

Today, I was fired because my boss found out I had been looking for a new job. Then, I got a call from my only job prospect, saying I was overqualified and too young to work there as a waitress. FML

Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML

Let me stay!
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML

No silver linings
Today, I found out that I can no longer work at my dream job because of their financial status. And of course, just now that I was finally beginning to be happy with my life, something like this naturally had to happen. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML

You must be doing something wrong. Typically jobs don’t want good employees to quit.

Eh not exactly. Some managers just have it out for people who they don't like. Could also be trying to get him to quit to open up the position for a family member. If he quits there's no severance/unemployment. If he's fired the company could owe him lots of money.

In some countries that would be deemed constructive dismissal. In the U.K at the moment there is a section of the civil service. where I know a few people who work there, where the high ups are doing everything they can to make it an unwelcoming workplace so the long term staff members will quit before they reform and sack a few thousand of them. If they quit they do not have to give redundancy payments

My employer is trying to do the same. If he doesn't want you to work there anymore, he just cuts your hours so you have to quit. I haven't worked in 3 weeks because of this.

Screw up so much they fire you, but not so much they can deny you unemployment.
