Today, I realized I wasn't getting notifications for my voicemail, so I decided to check it and found out that I had 3 job offerings that are no longer an option. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while checking my voicemail, I noticed I had received one from a job that I've been trying to get in for months. Too bad they called two weeks ago. FML
Today, a voicemail suddenly appeared in my messages. Last week I missed a call from an Unknown caller, and no number was listed. Turns out they wanted to arrange an interview for a job I really wanted. They left a number in the voicemail, telling me to call them back that day if I was interested. FML
Today, I found out my email hasn't been working for 10 days. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but it just so happens that a position opened up for my dream job while this was happening. I would have gotten the job, but instead they gave it to someone I just finished training. FML
Today, I discovered a bunch of emails from my old account that weren't forwarded to my new one. Because of this, I missed a job offer, as well as all the emails from my long-distance boyfriend asking if he could visit. I still don't have a job, and I broke up with him because he "failed to communicate." FML
Today, I missed multiple calls from the company I applied to. That was the supervisor calling, wanting to hire me. I then remembered my idiotic voicemail I made months ago where I pretended to answer and say stupid stuff for 5 minutes. I don't think I'm going to get the job. FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML
Today, I saw a missed call on my phone. Thinking it was one of the multiple jobs I applied for, I called back. Turns out it was just a debt collector. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, I got a missed call from a lady at an employment agency asking why I hadn't turned up to an information session for a potential job. Yesterday, the same lady told me the job position was canceled. FML
Today, I found out my job is trying to get me to quit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

maybe you should check them anyway, especially if you are expecting a response from somebody. you should call up your supplier though

That sucks OP but keep in mind that if three companies want you, you must be suitable for the jobs you're applying for. Head up!

I'm currently unemployed and reading this made me feel nauseous. I do hope you find a job soon, and that your provider can fix that problem!

Its tour phone and your voice mailbox your responsibility.

You should've checked everyday even if you didn't get notifications. But still, FYL

I used to work in tech support for a major phone carrier. Voicemail boxes have all kinds of glitches, and they're all disgustingly common. Sorry that you fell victim at such a crucial time.

I have a slightly related story, actually. I'd make them FMLs but technically they haven't been happening from my point of view and I don't actually personally know the person so I can't tell him to make it an FML. My friend always gets voicemails from companies to some guy named Fred telling her about job opportunities. My friend is thirteen years old, and she is a girl. She has never applied for a job in her life. why

It a spam where they tell them to met somewhere for an interview for an office job than drug them and send them in human traffic they get the numbers on social media

Oh, man! I have the same problem with Skype! I've checked my settings and everything, but still sometimes I don't get things in my notification screen until a couple days if not weeks after the fact. Keeping a friendship over a long distance is definitely not as urgent as a job offer, but I understand your pain. Eff your ell, indeed!

You trust tech, your fault. You should have either called back the people you wanted to work for or made sure your messages were cleared each day.

Ummmmmmmm... genius. People don't randomly check their voicemail for messages, you're notified that you have a new message. OP wasn't receiving notifications. Unless he suddenly decided to access his voicemail account for ***** and giggles, he wouldn't know about any new voicemail messages.

That's what you get for having an iphone. Androids are better.
