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!

This is my life, actually. But without getting fired. What does the rest of the office do? That's what I want to know about my department as well.

Either there is more to the story you are not telling or you should learn from this. While doing good-fast-accurate work is great when you start a job, you want to be careful to not 'over-kill' when you do get busy/stuck and can't keep up it will look like you are losing interest in your job or no longer capable of performing

For all the people saying 'learn to be less productive so as not to stand out/show up others', **** THAT! OP, I've been in your position before. And I'm currently unemployed, so I know how much a new job means to you. But don't let ANYONE convince you to cut back on the quality of your work ethic to fit office politics. There are companies and managers out there who would DIE for a good, productive employee who cares about getting the job done right, and quickly. These are the best jobs in the world for people like us and are generally great places to work, so just be yourself, and eventually you'll find your niche. Work ethic FTW!

maybe the supervisor was a slowass lazy bitch that didn't ever do anything didn't want to get fired so he/she fired the person to save their fat lazy ass. and for the record that's a lame ass excuse for firing you so sue.
