Today, I finally started my first job. I also lost it, for being too "enthusiastic" and making my fellow employees look lazy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I lost my job because I was doing my work too quickly, getting too much done and the supervisor was afraid I was bored. I have only been here for 3 weeks and already had the best stats on the team. FML
Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML
Today, for the first time since I can remember, I went in to work feeling positive, and that I could make good things happen. At the end of the day, my employment was terminated. FML
Today, after months of unemployment, I finally started at a new job. The building burnt down on my very first shift. FML
Today, it was my first day as a promoted manager. I got fired for being late. FML
Today, it was my first day on a £600 a week job. I was fired for being 10 minutes late. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML

As ridiculous as it sounds this really happens sometimes, I hope you get a better a job where people can appreciate your attitude.

Can they really do that? That just seems like a huge slap across the face. Like "Hey, you wanted this job, well you've got it! Just kidding! You're to enthusiastic and making the other employees look bad".
