Office life sucks
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
No Job
Prairieville, United States
Today, I was supposed to start my new job. I had forgotten I had a doctor's appointment, so I called work early and told them I wouldn't be able to start until tomorrow. My boss then terminated my employment. I got fired before I even started. FML

Out of the frying pan
Today, after I got hired on at a new job with perfect hours and pay, worked my two-week notice at my old job, now one week into new job, they let me go because they’re overstaffed and I’m the newest hire. FML

Today, it was the first day of my new job. It was also the last day of my new job. I got a call immediately after finishing my shift to be told the company has "decided to go in a different direction" and will no longer be needing my services. FML

Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

Hello, Goodbye
Today, I left my job, fulfilling my one month's notice after receiving a job offer from a much better-paying role. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the building. Not two minutes later, the company who was offering the new job called to say they'd changed their minds, and there was now no longer a job on offer. FML

Not really. It sounds like the OP had already accepted the new job (can't be "let go" from a job you never got), in which case resigning from the old one is the normal and appropriate thing to do. You shouldn't wait until your last day before starting a new job to tell your employer "Today was my last day. Bye!" If you want to leave on good terms, you give some notice beforehand to allow time to find a replacement. Hopefully the OP's current employer hasn't already hired someone to replace him.

Hopefully you left on good terms. This happens. If you left on good terms, its much easier and cheaper to rehire a traiend experienced person with a known good record of honesty and attendance than it is to hire someone new and roll the dice, not to mention time and effort to train a new person.

Basically I was hired at the skilled nursing facility my wife works at, and we are both in nursing. I was supposed to begin this coming tuesday, however, they called me to inform me that because their resident census was lower than they would like (180 beds and 150 occupied,) they cancelled my training class and said if things resume normally in the future they will reconsider my employment offer. This is after I had already completed my last two weeks with my previous employer.

At least on the bright side you did the right thing at your other job by putting in your two weeks. That way you're able to get employment there again. Good luck to you OP!

If you got an official offer letter, it might be a breach of contract. I'd check with a lawyer. I'd be worried you couldn't collect unemployment too.
