Today, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I called in sick for the first time. My boss said that if I didn’t show up, not only would he fire me, but he’d make sure I never find another job for the rest of my life. So I showed up to work with a bucket, puking every five minutes. My boss still made me stay the full nine hours. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today I was home sick from work because my doctor gave me a new pill that made me throw up violently. My boss called. I thought she was checking on me. She fired me instead. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, a reliable source informed me that my suspicions that I would soon be fired were wrong. Instead, my boss plans to make my life miserable until I quit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Too bad in most states it's borderline illegal to fire someone that way. Look at your company handbook. If it's a small owned business ur ****** tho.

Just file for unemployment. The money you get comes from his company, so he would be paying for you not to work

This! Wrongful termination could apply depending on the state. If you had sick days, or are legitimately sick you can use that against the company.

Yes, 41. Lets all go encourage people completely capable of working to leech off the state and hard working employees. I don't see anything wrong with that, what about the rest of you? >.>

Getting unemployment when you are between jobs is what it is there for. Plus in order to receive it you have to be actively applying for other jobs.

Or pretend to be actively applying for other jobs.

Wow... At my work I have to deal with minor grammar errors. There are several of the minor errors, but nothing that bad. I would have quit long before that, I can't deal with stupidity.

don't file for unemployment unless its absolutely needed. too many Americans living on the system and its killing our country. look for other work and build a wrongful termination case against him. of you have records of being sick legitimately, you'll get compensation.

Unemployment is payed by the company that fired him. It is there to help people between jobs. It is not as much as you made while working, just enough to hopefully help you get by.

Oh, it's unemployment that's killing our country? Really? Brilliant.

I would go in & say that I had text messaging blocked from his number just to stick it to him one last time

If it's a big company, take it to HR. It may not get you your job back, but it should get him fired as well. Then you can send him a text taunting him back.

I agree with most posters here on the "Why would you wanna go back?" part, However, there might be legal ways to take action against that company. One of those ways... contact the BBB(Better Buisness Bureau) and report them. The second way, contact a public defender and/or an attorney to learn your personal rights and laws you are protected under in your state.

Slash his tires, cut his belt (on his car), or tag his car. And if you know where he lives hire a hooker and send her his way should ruin more than his day!
