Today, a reliable source informed me that my suspicions that I would soon be fired were wrong. Instead, my boss plans to make my life miserable until I quit. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 made up a rumor that I was quitting my job so I wouldn't get the promotion that was coming up. There goes that raise I've been wanting for six months. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML
Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML
Today, my boss made sure to do one last thing before he retired. Fire me. FML

Pretend you like all the shit your boss dumps on you. That way, he'll go mad and you can take his job!

I assume this is to get around from paying you a severance package? Start keeping notes of how he is trying to make you miserable and have a word with HR

Sounds like it's time for a bit of malicious compliance.

My boss does just the same

sounds like my place. in 9 years, only 3-4 people left amicably. the rest (dozens of people) quit in anger and despair.

Sounds like the perfect time to start taking longer with your work as well as making small mistakes to ensure nothing really gets done.

Everything everyone has said in these comments, has already been on my mind! My plan right now is to keep "working" (the bare minimum, so as to not be insubordinate) while documenting everything that is being done to me. I have consulted legal and I have printed every nasty email and text message. I am looking for a new job and I plan on quitting only when I find a new position. I will not quit until then and in the event that I am fired first, I will request a severance package and I will sue for wrongful termination as well as unemployment benefits. When I quit, I will request an exit interview with the owners of the company and I will give them a packet of everything that I have documented as proof of poor treatment. I am not the only one unhappy here and the owners need to understand that the management is causing the high turnover rate. Thanks for your support! I hope no one else has to experience this.
