Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML
Today, I fell asleep while on the toilet at work. When I woke up, I tried to quietly sneak back to my desk, only to be caught by my boss. He immediately sent me packing and gave his "best wishes" for me in the unemployment line. FML
Today, I was working from home. I felt very sleepy, so I set my online status “Active” and went back to bed. I woke up to 3 missed calls from my boss and an email from him, containing a webcam screenshot of me asleep in bed. I totally forgot he has remote access to my computer. FML
Today, after working the night shift, I accidentally left my iPod at the office. I woke up later and went on Facebook. To my dismay, I saw some coworker had posted stuff on my wall, such as, "I really have to take a shit!" and "Yes, my tits are real!" FML
Today, my boss and I were bragging about our new phones. I unlocked mine to show its awesome display, and accidentally opened a job search app. FML
Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. FML
Today, my boss fired me for being on Facebook at work. He did it via a wall post on Facebook saying, "ur fired." Six of my friends liked this. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

One of the first things an employer of an office environment will tell you is "Stay off of Facebook!" Sorry, OP.. But YDI. You knew it was a rule and you broke it.

See this is why I have an iPhone. I don't have to use my work computer to get on facebook or FML. Like now. At work, on FML, and even if my boss reads this my real name is not "office ninja". See how that works?

In a work setting I'd be too afraid to get on Facebook on the computer for fear of being tracked by the company.

Where were you working? There are hard working people out here looking for jobs that know what their phone and a break is for. YDI

So much butt hurt in these comments. If you want to look at Facebook then you should be able to, you're an adult..not in junior high. You will still have to complete the same amount of work later and maybe with more dedication and a nicer attitude. Lame boss

Let me explain something to you when you have a job some sacrifices have to be made.you can't just walk into the office and do whatever you want.you don't get paid to browse facebook or use the computer for your own use.he should have waited until he was on his break or until he got home.he deserves to be fired. If you plan on having a good career I suggest you change your attitude my friend.

I have a great job. Many companies focus too much on rules. But in the end it's productivity and what you actually accomplish. Stick by your rigid rules and I'm just as much might get done with twice the stress

Just as much** Anyway, with a major in organizational studies I'm criticizing the method of management. It's proven putting more trust/freedom in employees makes them happier. Happier employees=greater productivity. Sorry to everyone out there who works in a crappy environment.

Yeah I agree with putting trust In your employees, but let me ask you this. If you owned a business would you want someone to use your computer for his own needs and not to get things done? Giving your employees freedom is great but don't go overboard. Just my opinion.
