A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I won an award for Employee of the Month. Shocked, I asked my boss if he'd gotten my name mixed up or something. He had. 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, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Imagine a new employee starts, "Where the person who's employee of the month?" "Oh they were fired a week before getting the title."

I guess he was the best employee and that is managements way if "rewarding" the best worker.

It's possible, especially in this economy, that he was laid off for non-performance-related reasons.

22: It's possible, but that's not the same thing as "fired"

Someone's unorganized. They should've gotten fired instead.

Or maybe OP's absence made the workplace incredibly productive, and they want to show their gratitude.

Same thing I was thinking! Op must have a pretty poor work ethic to get employee of the month for being fired.

Well, you have something to show at your next job! Think positive :)

You should ask for a trophy. Fired or not, employee of month benefits should be given to you.

I feel like they sent you that to taunt you. A living reminder that you got fired before even being formally *the* employee of the month.

Now that is the kind of evidence to bring to Unemployment. Ask for an arbitrator. Good luck!

That's backwards as hell. I hope you'll find a better job!
