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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Why didnt you consult your husband before quitting?

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.

You are a dumbass for not discussing your decision with your husband first. Good luck finding another job quickly in this economy. You should have found another job FIRST and then quit the old one. Poor husband.

In these times, you shouldn't quit your job until you've been hired for some other one, because there's no guarantee that you'll be employed again for months or years. Not only that, it probably would've been nice to discuss this with your husband first. YDI.

In this economy, i am VERY surprised you let a job go... My job pays me peanuts, but i wouldn't give it up for anything except a better paying job... Way to be ungrateful just because your working conditions aren't as up to par as you want them to be. I hope they hire someone who will appreciate the job. Also, part of being married is communication. You should have discussed it with your husband first and organized a back up plan or found another job before quitting the one that you had.. I am sure that you regret your mistake dearly. I am sorry for your job loss, and I hope that you and your husband get though this. Let this be a life lesson to the both of you.

1) why would you leave a job in an economy like this? 2) even if the economy was good, most people would make sure they had another job they could go into first and 3) you should ALWAYS discuss things like this with your husband in a marriage. A marriage is built on truthful communication, it will fall apart if too many things like this happen
