Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, after two and half years at my company and after recently being promoted, I was told by my boss the business doesn't feel it needs me, and invited me to find another job. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
Today, after being told two weeks ago that my contract would be renewed, my boss managed to tell me that actually he had other applicants for the job. I will be let go, but he offered me two months extra so I could finish the projects he had me working on. FML
Today, my boss called me to inform me that I'm being laid off. In my ensuing fit of rage, I deleted the recent project I've been working on for weeks. Pretty soon after, he called me back to let me know it was a prank. FML
Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". 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, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did anyone else think that maybe he did like him and wanted him promoted, but then the company had to fire some people and he happened to be one who was fired?

Often it's the talented people who get laid off because they're near the top of the salary range for their position, so firing them "saves money". Salary is easy to quantify, whereas the value-add of a better-trained or more experienced employee is sometimes not so easy to put in dollars-and-cents. It's an outgrowth of the current school of "management by Powerpoint slide".

I'm pretty sure warpig is kidding. I'm positive, however, that he misspelled "it's." :)

she can't, she was laid off, not fired. it means they can't afford to keep everyone. it's not a personal, or an incompetence firing. it's the reality of many businesses in this economic climate. it sucks, but it's not her boss' fault

It probably wasn't his decision. If she was last hired, makes the most money, or has a position that can be automated, integrated, or outsourced, she would be the most likely to be laid off. Her boss may be on the chopping block the next round.

Aw, it's tough dealing with losing a job. Hope you find another soon.

Read between the lines. He was trying to say you could be laid on or laid off. You chose not to play ball(s), so he's sending you away to keep a lesser employee who puts out.

sounds to me like your boss knew you were on the block and did his best to save you, but was unable to.
