Today, I lost my job because I was doing my work too quickly, getting too much done and the supervisor was afraid I was bored. I have only been here for 3 weeks and already had the best stats on the team. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally started my first job. I also lost it, for being too "enthusiastic" and making my fellow employees look lazy. FML
Today, I was let go from my job, because I'm "progressing too quickly and there's no promotions available" and I "can find a better place to work at." FML
Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, I was told I was being fired from my job after "5 months for poor performance." I helped lead my team to the highest possible success they’ve had the last 4 years. FML
Today, I’m a supervisor who swore 50-hour weeks were “the minimum.” My team preferred having lives, I missed my quota, and my $10,000 bonus vanished. FML
Today, I was scolded by my boss, all because I can finish most tasks in a quarter of the time it takes him, and he doesn't want to be shown up. FML
Today, my supervisor was in a leadership meeting pulling random calls for quality. Mine was chosen. He got excited and told them my stats and how I put him to shame with how I drive my team, that I'm the best and this call is going to be amazing. I was then written up for arguing with a customer. FML
Today, I started a new yard maintenance job. Before the day had even ended, I got fired, because I apparently didn’t have enough experience, and I moved too slowly. It was supposed to be my training day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Bullshit! If you believe it really was the case, file a lawsuit!

#26 **** Off with the sexist joke. am not even gonna bother to counter with a male joke -.- irrating to see that. @OP when you start out on a job just start off on a good pace and then after a good month you can go over the pace and ask for that pay-raise. ;D

...Have you ever gotten a raise after only a month? I've never heard of that happening, no matter how hard someone works. A month isn't long enough for you to get established in the company.

I know exactly how you feel OP. One example is when a girl gets moved to night shift with the young cheap tippers because the day shift girls are tired of trying to compete. FYL :(

if they were so worried about you being bored then they could have given you some of their work...gives them less to do. but this is ridiculous. I've been around slackers like that, it's SO annoying to be the only one who does any work.

People are so stupid. Wow. if you're in a right-to-work state you could report them, but if you're in an at-will state they can fire you for any non-discriminating reason. sucky.

There has to be some other reason. Anyway you will probably find something better.

It's just the manager. He/She was worried that you would do better and eventually take the other ppl's positions. It's unfortunate but you have to know the people around you very well and form connections. Just working hard isn't enough.
