Today, I was dismissed from my job at an unemployment agency. In order to receive financial support from the government I need to be cooperating with a job service provider. They paired me up with the same place I was just fired from. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was fired for actively seeking employment with another company. Because of having just been fired, the other company will no longer give me the time of day. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, after quitting my job to take a very attractive position with a competitor, I was told the position was no longer being offered. I'm now on my way to file for unemployment. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, I got fired from the community service I was doing out of kindness. FML
Today, after nearly eight months of unemployment, I started a great new job. After seven and a half hours of work, my new boss comes up to tell me what a great job I was doing, but that he somehow forgot to clear the new hire with the company owner, so I'm fired. Hello, unemployment... again. 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 received an e-mail from the Unemployment Department saying they had a job referral for me. After excitedly reading the description, I realised it was the job I'd just been fired from (at a much higher pay). If I don't go through the application process, I will be denied my unemployment. FML
Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Surely you can be assigned to a different one if you tell them the situation.

Ooooh... Yikes. Kick some ass & take some names, & make them regret firing you, OP! Hope things get better.

Do you mean… *metaphorically*…?

How many times have you been charged with assault #1?

I suppose I should know better than to give anyone the benefit of the doubt on the Internet. :P

Yes, I meant metaphorically. I'm sorry if my comment was misleading, haha, wow, that was a lot of negative feedback. I wasn't trying to imply assault. I apologize!

Obviously not if OP needs unemployment benefits...

I know a lot of people who immediately go on to unemployment once they get fired. So benefits are not a mark of struggles, but the prevention of them in some cases.

Easier said than done sometimes. Centrelink seems to be there just to make life difficult! Good luck OP

At least you are all on a first name base. Silver lining?

Maybe you can ask to be assigned to a different place?

When I was first sent to one of these 45, I was sent to a branch far from my house. I ask to swap to a different one for convenience and the did it, so I'm sure in this case they'd be more than happy to. The transfer goes through the job provider itself not Centrelink so there shouldn't be annoying delays.
