Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I went into work to change a shift I was unable to work. I phoned the first person on the employee sheet and they promptly answer by saying, "You still work here? I thought the manager fired you." I was fired last week and have been showing up for shifts without anybody noticing. FML
Today, I was called to be told I'm fired for not showing up for my shift. I guess she didn't check her voice message to see that I gave birth last night. FML
Today, after a month at my new job, my boss fired me because I didn't have enough experience. She hired me with full knowledge of this fact. FML
Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML
Today, I was fired from a job I didn't have. The manager in charge of calling me to tell me if I got the job never called, and never called me back when I left messages. The only time he called me was to fire me for not coming to orientation, which, by the way, he never called to tell me about. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's why where I worked, we always had to let our boss know when the shifts were changed.

Maybe if you explained the situation to your boss?

if she was being that big of a bitch, she's on her period, I would tell her to go swim in a shark tank.

Well that's offensive to your own gender. You look old enough to have your period. So you should know how much pain we go through. We have every right to be a bitch. And people can be bitches without their period to help. Your comment was douchey.

Your comment is also "douchey" as well. The monthly pains suck, I get that. To state that women have a good enough reason on the right to be a bitch because of that time is unacceptable. Just because you're having a bad day does not give you the right to ruin someone else's and believe it's ok because "i'm on my period, deal with it" type attitude that you portrayed in your comment. Yes, you're right - people can be bitchy when they don't have periods or are not on it but that still doesn't make it acceptable for you to act like an asshole to another person for no reason or give a poor excuse like being on your rag. That's how your comment comes across to me when I had read it and I hope that's not what you intended. >.

Did you contact your manager and inform them that someone would be working your shift? It sucks they backed out, OP.

-.- These asshole coworkers are the reason we always need to get any kind of schedule change down in writing.

I agree with #22. ALWAYS get it okay-ed with your supervisor when switching shifts first. I do it frequently and have had no problems.

Turned out she was joking?? Nope. Turned out she is a witch!

Were you within the first three months still?... Cause if not and they didn't contact you, that's against most (not all) workplace rights. I'd check up on it if I were you.
