Today, I was fired for job abandonment. Yesterday, my boss told me to go home early because we were so slow. After I reminded him, he laughed and said, "Oh yeah... You're still fired." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss turned to everyone and said, "Allow me to escort this trash out of the office." Everyone cheered. FML
Today, I was fired. Why? Because I called in sick on my daughter's birthday, even though you cannot "abandon work for personal affairs". My boss's favorite employee got to skip work on his wife's birthday two weeks ago. He still works here. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML

By any chance your boss' name is Dick? Sure sounds like something a Dick would do.

if the job is "at will" there's not much you can do about it

If you work 'at will' and are fired 'for cause' you don't get unemployment insurance. If you are fired without cause you do. As such it's quite important to establish if it was his fault or not.

I smell a wrongful termination law suit! hope u win!

That sounds incredibly illegal.

He ****** up and opened the door for you to crush him in a wrongful termination lawsuit. The so-called “at-will” work states lets bosses fire workers without cause.

Sorry, hit Send too soon. If they do provide cause for firing you, and that is unjustified, you have the right to seek justice!

With some of these FMLs RichardPencil, I wonder how people get through life.

Maybe he was intentionally setting up a reason for your permanent dismissal... Now you have to work out who else could be conspiring against you... xD

this sounds wrong. I'm pretty sure there's more we aren't being told. job abandonment usually has to be proven with a HR and a whole lot of pre done rigmarol

You should try to find out the real reason. It could be helpful on future jobs
