Today, I got laid off. I abandoned my friends, my boyfriend and moved 10 hours away for this job because my uncle convinced me to. My uncle is my employer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML
Today, I woke up, got dressed, drove for an hour, just to find out that I was fired. This is the closest job near me. FML
Today, not even a week after I was laid off from my job, I got a call from my old boss. He offered me a "new" job at the company, which turned out to be just like my old one, but with drastically reduced pay. I'm so broke and desperate that I accepted. FML
Today, I came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. FML
Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, my best friend decided to make some life changes. He got a new job, a new car, and asked me to move out of our apartment. We're 1,500 miles away from my hometown. I only moved all the way out here to live with him in the first place because he asked me to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's soooorta a YDI. She made the decision to leave and take the job, expecting special treatment from her Uncle. Taking any job is a risk, He wouldn't lay her off without good reason. Especially after convincing her to go there.

Yeah... Uncle should've looked out for you in someway if he was going to have you move out there.

Work should always come first especially if it's your dream job, if it isn't then no need to abandon everyone you love

@38 work shouldn't cause you to abandon your friends or family. You should work to live, not live to work. People who live to work are the least happy, and have significant heath issues caused by it. I'm sorry you think work is the most important thing in life, because it means your life is empty.

I feel like this is your uncle's idea of an elaborate prank.

See if you can move back and explain to your friends and boyfriend that your uncle screwed you over, if they're true friends they should understand.
