Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. 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 got a new job and told everyone about it. A few hours later, I got an email from the executive saying I actually don't have the job anymore. FML
Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
Today, my new manager, who I have spent the last three months training, had a managers' meeting and now won't be returning. FML
Today, on my first day of work, I got fired after 45 minutes. FML
Today, I walked into my new office for the first time after receiving the promotion I've been trying for. Someone took a dump on my desk. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, my work decided to fire me. Three days ago, I sat down with my boss and asked if they could fix the sewage leak in my office, and maybe look into how loud it is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you spend three hours of your workday putting a chair together, I can sort of guess at the reasons why you were let go, to be honest...

If the new chair was the highlight of your job man then you shouldn't be too sad. Speaking of which though, your boss will probably take your new chair. Make sure you loosen a few screws...

Do you work at Ikea? If so i understand where your boss is coming from

Probably because it takes you 3 hours to put a chair together instead of actually working

Take the chair with you! it's not like they put it together.

Who cares who put it together it's company property.

If it were company property they probably would have built it for him. Maybe he bought a new ergonomic chair? A lot of my coworkers have their own chairs because of back problems.

Im no professional chair builder, but i'm pretty sure it shouldn't take you 3 hours to put together.

I have this feeling that you were used...I guess the next guy will appreciate your efforts, eh? Sorry OP. That sucks.

Thought i was the only one.it kinda seemed like the boss may have already wanted to fire him for something but waited until the most convenient time for himself to do so.

Chair assembler is a pretty crappy job and you were terrible at it! Try to find something you can do not in slow-motion.

1; take the chair with you 2; take it apart again

You probably got let go because you are the sort of person who thinks its appropriate to spend three hours doing something other than work. And I can't understand why it took three hours to do a half hour job.

I would let someone go too if it took them 180 minutes of paid time to put together a CHAIR. YDI in my opinion.

3 hours putting a chair together? You deserve to be fired that's almost half a work day
