Today, I was crying at my desk at work. My colleague tried to cheer me up by saying: "Don't worry, I'm sure you will find a new job soon". I didn't even know I was fired. I was crying because my cat died this morning. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my boss wrote me up because he heard me crying on the phone, and that it was unprofessional. I was talking to my sister, who was telling that me my father had died. Three weeks ago, he was crying about his dog breaking his leg. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boss that the reason I was sobbing hysterically as she told me that I was getting a pay raise was because I was going to the vet to have my sick and dying cat put down. Good news at a bad time. FML
Today, I was at a meeting. One of the other members decided to share that their cat had passed away recently. I got an uncontrollable nervous laugh, started crying because I was laughing so hard, and left the room while everyone watched in horror. FML
Today, my boss's cat died. I'm expected to attend the service. FML
Today, I was crying because my cat died. My boyfriend cupped my face in his hands, looked me straight into the eyes and said, "I love seeing you cry." FML
Today, my coworker said her dog died. Without thinking, I tried to cheer her up and said, “Oh man, that’s rough. Get it? Ruff? Ruff ruff!” and giggled like a schoolgirl. Nobody laughed. My coworker burst into more tears. I have a Teams video meeting with my supervisor and HR this afternoon. FML
Today, while I was at work, I was on the verge of tears. My coworker asked what was wrong and I explained that I recently had to put my dog down. He then replied, "Cool story, bro. Tell it again." FML
Today, at my job at a pet store, my boss told me to go outside and hand out flyers. I saw a man sitting on a bench and walked up, saying, "Hi! Do you have a pet?" He teared up and said, "I just put her down this morning." FML
Today, my youth pastor died and I was crying. My boss told me to dry my tears, because it was affecting my coworkers. Sorry I'm human and cry when someone I know dies. FML
Today, at work, my colleague started to look for a new job. For me. FML

Maybe she just assumed you were fired because of your crying, not necessarily true that they told everyone else first

are you sure your coworker didn't just make an assumption because you were crying at work? are you actually fired? if yes, that completely sucks and it is SO inappropriate for other people to know before you. edit: wow, guess I wasn't the first to have that thought, hahaha

Hmm, are you sure that you are being fired though? Chances are that your colleague misunderstood your tears as a way of releasing your stress and emotions for working in a place that is not the greatest. If you love your job, I hope that is the case and not because you are going to be let go soon.

If you cry for a cat at work, you probably deserved to be fired anyways. When at workplace, do as others do: pretend to be busy and keep your shit together. If you did have other chores like prepare for the funeral and memorial service of the departed you should have taken a day off.

Dude. She lost her cat, which she likely loved very much and most likely had for a long time, and then, in the same day, lost her job, which she clearly loved, since she implied she's upset about it. Have some damn sympathy.

I hope you find a better job and I'm sorry for your kitty ): I lost a pet once and it's a bad thing to go through !
