Today, I found out that the new management position I'm supposed to start in two days was delayed for a month and a half. I already quit my current job and called my boss gay. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my employers hired me under the assumption that I was gay. Apparently, they are attempting to be perceived as more open-minded. I'm not gay, but I'm afraid being straight could cost me my job. FML
Today, I learned that the manager I switched jobs to escape 7 months ago will be my new boss. FML
Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Today, a month after getting a big promotion, I found out that I'm stuck with my old job. No one wants to take my old position, so they are vacating my new one and will post it, because, "This one is more desirable, and your's is shit." FML
Today, I found out that my assistant is now my manager. FML
Today, I discovered my former boss from the job I quit 3 months is now my boss at my new job. He was the reason I quit my old job. 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 a month at my new job, my boss fired me because I didn't have enough experience. She hired me with full knowledge of this fact. FML
Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ydi, you could've left your old job peacefully. I guess that shows how mature of a manager you will be.

At my company, I was forwarded an email where an ex-employee was lambasting me. It was false, but that isn't even the point. I called him and left him a voicemail telling him I had received it and recommending he not burn bridges. Our city of 2MM+ is too small for that. A couple of months later, he called me and asked for a reference. I called the hiring manager and gave him a solid review. He called me later that day to thank me because he got the job that afternoon. Don't be stupid and burn bridges you might have to cross.

Yes, No. 104, you said it all. In my position I would estimate that about once a month at a minimum I hear from someone who shit all over me, begging for a favor. Often they want a job for themselves or their offspring, despite having little to no experience in the field and a degree, if they have one, in a completely unrelated field. The economy stinks and on the rare occasion that we have an opening, we already have about 200 unsolicited resumes on file from people who are desperate to work for us and who actually have, at a minimum, a pertinent degree. So, let's see. Should I give a plug to the guy who called me a **** and a ************ or should I endorse one of the many qualified candidates vying for the position who have not insulted me? Hmmm, that's a tough one.

Oh what are you the internet rent-a-cop??? notice that you have me doubled in rating meaning you spend twice as much time on here than I do. You probably spend twice as much time sitting at home boosting your self esteem off this site.

Im not going to waste my time arguing with someone who has all them time in the world. Get a life, get off the computer once in a while and take a jog.

hope the delay is really just a delay and not a reconsideration of the position.

Everyone saying YDI, you wish you could call your boss gay.

Intelligent people do not want or need to use bigoted language to insult other people. You are clearly not an intelligent person, and neither is the OP.
