Today, I finally quit the job that I've been complaining about. Before I could tell my husband, he informed me that he had been laid off, and was thankful we still had my income. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally quit my job after talking with a friend about making our own design/multimedia company. While I was on my way to his house, he called me and told me not to quit because he got an awesome job offer and couldn't refuse. FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. 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
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, after resigning from my current job, I was let go from the new job I hadn't even started yet. FML
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
Today, I gave my two weeks notice at work. My boss sighed with relief and muttered, "Thank God." FML
Today, the company where I used to work at announced that there would be a staff reduction because of the low income caused by the pandemic. I just quit yesterday in favor of another job. All of my former workmates are getting paid their respective settlements because of this termination, while I'm not. FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to quit my job. I waited an hour to speak to the boss; I finally sat down with her, and she told me I had to be let go because I'm not "reliable enough." The only time I missed work was when I had the stomach flu. I was fired before I could even quit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you had a job! Even if it sucked, in today's economy you should have just sucked it up and looked for something better before you quit. ydi completely.

YDI, why would you make such decisions without consulting your spouse first? you QUIT your job, he got LAID off, I think he's the one that should be complaining, not you. And who the hell quits a job before finding another one first? That's what every person should do, and even more so because of the economy. SELFISH.

^This. Capitalism certainly has a faction of political bitches in the US, but the majority on that list aren't Democrats. They're greedy, power-hungry douche canoes hiding behind a mask of religiousity and moral superiority. Disclaimer: I'm not saying power-hungry, self-righteous Democrats don't exist, nor am I saying Republicans are all soulless vampires. Democrats just tend to toady to a different god. I'm allowed to be an equal-opportunity asshat-- I'm registered Independant. :}

ydi for not talking to your husband about that...and for not waiting until you found a new job. I get that you hated it, but with as bad as the economy is your husband should have been a part of that decision and you should have had another job to fall back on.

YDI. You never quit a job no matter what until you have a new one lined up.

You are an idiot... OP... In this economy, you DO NOT quit a shitty job until you have a different (and hopefully higher paying) shitty job...
