Today, I received a list of employee names who were losing their jobs and I had to remove them from the system as I work for IT. I was on the list. That's right. My last responsibility as an employee was removing myself from the system for security reasons. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out I'm being laid off. Because I'm the only person at this company who knows how to process a layoff in our HR system, I get to have the pleasure of laying myself off. 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 was fired for "customer dissatisfaction." I work in IT and have never met one of my company's customers. FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. 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, after taking a much-needed mental health week off from work, I discovered I wasn’t on the schedule this week. Turns out, I was fired. Apparently, my absence made things “inconvenient” for my department, since they had to do double work due to my “selfish” PTO usage. FML
Today, I was fired from my job of 5 years. I was let go because I couldn't take the company to 'the next level'. My now ex-boss asked me if I could process my severance check because he didn't know how. I had to write myself my last paycheck. FML
Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML
Today, one of my employees was fired for refusing to do a basic job necessity. After the meeting with HR, he left the office and tried to go back to work. FML
Today, at work, I received an email telling me that viewing porn websites was prohibited and was a good enough reason to fire me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Stash something in the boss's desk and F... his life. Watch out for cameras. Then remote to his computer and delete the list or just take your name off it. Despair is never a useful strategy. When life gives you anything, take what you deserve and give the rest of it back.

#52: You don't get it. This is EXACTLY what "an eye for an eye" means. The whole point is that even if the company did screw up, it doesn't make it okay to take revenge by screwing his coworkers, boss, other IT people who have to sort it out... The industrial system can be pretty cold and heartless, but vengeance is neither right nor mature, and has a way of hurting innocent people. How would you like to be the coworker who not only suddenly has twice the work to do now that Joe has been fired, but loses all their files when Joe wrecks the system? Or the guy in the next department who's laid off when the company loses millions in hacker attacks and can't afford to keep him anymore? Sure, I agree, the company was lacking honor and common decency. But that gives the poster no right to toss all his out the window. Man, this world is screwed up.

I would have told them to f themselves and to remove everyone from the system themselves.

That sucks, I was in a similar situation a few years back. The problem was that I was their only IT administrator, I had all the passwords to all the systems. I got to work and they gave me a typed letter indicating that my employment has been terminated due to financial difficulties, but that I can leave the office immediately and still receive my full salary for the following two months. I took them up on the offer, only to have them call me 5min later to ask me for some passwords and assistance. I refused.

well if you're a good programmer and you know your way around IT systems, then you should have left a few back doors open to later hack into the network and sell company secrets to the competition. Its about time these non-technical bosses learn that IT is not just a cost center, its the glue that holds the company together.
