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.

Normally, jobs give you a maximum of 2 no call/no shows before they can you. If you have a valid reason, they can't fire you after just one nc/ns. Unless you have a history of not showing up, then they have no right to fire you.

at my job you get fired the first time you don't show up

Shift changes usually have to be approved my management. If the manager approved it, she should be the responsible and FYL. If you never got management approval than YDI.

You should have called to verify that the other person indeed showed up.

I was in the middle of something like that once. A coworker needed someone to cover her shift and I asked my sister to do it. My sister changed her mind and didn't show up. Luckily the coworker didn't get fired.

I think the responsibility relies on your coworker. Sounds though like your better off at another job. Or maybe go talk to them about it. And maybe go throw a bag of shit at your ex coworkers house. What a bitch.

Did your boss know about the swap?

This is why I always clear this sort of thing with my boss beforehand. So the burden of showing up is on the other person. YDI if you didn't do that.

Any shift change at any job I had required both employees and a manager to sign off. That officially put responsibility on the person picking it up.

That's why you need paperwork to make it official otherwise it becomes he said/she said with no proof.
