Today, I finally have a job I love with amazing people I call family and a fantastic boss. I've been here 8 months, and I'm doing a great job, I feel like I could work here forever! My most recent project? Printing our "Store closing sale" signs for liquidation. We permanently close in 7 weeks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML
Today, I started an awesome job with competitive pay. I also found out that the place is closing its doors in June. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker has been promoted to Store Manager. She has been here for less than 6 months, and I have been with the company for 10 years. Guess who has been training her for the last 6 months. FML
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, I finally got a job after nearly two years of unemployment. My boss is amazing, my coworkers are fun and helpful, and the pay is great. There's just one issue: it seems as though nothing can change the fact that I simply do not enjoy the job itself, even though I really thought I would. FML
Today, I gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." FML
Today, I was told I was being fired from my job after "5 months for poor performance." I helped lead my team to the highest possible success they’ve had the last 4 years. FML
Today, I received the "employee of the month" title from the job I was fired from last week. FML

"Store Closing. Can no longer afford lawsuits caused by one overly-affectionate worker going around, hugging customers, and calling them family."

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me when I worked at a diner. I feel your pain OP. Try to stay in touch with your coworkers, they sound like really awesome people.

Thanks, everyone, for the encouragement!! I definitely plan to keep in touch with as many of them as possible. Thanks to social media, we'll always be connected. When I said "finally," I meant that every job I've ever had I have hated to the point of getting physically ill at the thought of going to work. And I worked in management. I planned on sticking around this one until they got sick of me! I'm a lucky one, though. I have a second job, which I've actually had longer than this one. While I hate it and it doesn't give me many hours, at least I'm not going to be completely empty handed! Some of us have the choice to transfer to another store 25 miles away, but it's too far for most of us. We are mostly disappointed that a very large number of small businesses depend on us to keep their businesses running, and they're now panicking knowing they'll lose us soon. It's hard when corporations make decisions like this based on numbers, and don't look at the demographics of the area. Our town is going to suffer! And, no, it's not Hastings. Lol. And, yes, I am a hugger. :D

That's good you did have your second job to fall back on for the mean time. I hope you find another company that you truly enjoy working for like you did this one OP.
