Today, I was fired. For "lack of attention to details", specifically spelling errors. My now ex-boss misspelled the name of his own company on my severance agreement. 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 because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. 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, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML
Today, I found out that I was being laid off via an email that wasn't even spell checked. FML
Today, I misspelled the word "failure" in front of all my co-workers. Now I'm not given any writing tasks. FML
Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML
Today, I found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML
Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. FML
Today, my boss chewed me out for correcting several spelling and grammar mistakes in one of his reports. The words "Think you're so damn smart, don't ya?" were uttered. I'm his secretary, and proofreading his shit is part of my job. FML
Today, my boss signed and sent me back my timesheet. He named the PDF file "Timeshit". Now I don't know whether he's terrible at spelling, or just expressed his view of my job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

17 Hire Jade then fire her again. Then she would go all Jade-Fu on him and she will become the company boss. Then she slowly makes her way uptop to the queen of the world. Then one of her servants forget to put half & half in her coffee an instead put milk. She loves half & half in her coffee and then her whole day would be ruined. Would you want op to go through that hell? I rest my case.

Your story got ruined by the fact that you misspelled hire. EDIT: Don't mind me, I'm a victim of editing.

I'm thinking that due to the wink face, the u was a purposeful spelling mistake to make a pun about the FML. If it was, it wasn't funny. If it wasn't, then 1 is an idiot.

Unless you are using a typewriter there is no excuse for spelling errors at work, or anytime for that matter. That is what spell check is for. Ydi

I think #1 was trying to say DML.

I'd take a picture, put it on Facebook, and tag the boss's name right where the spelling error is

So technically you didn't get fired! Go back and if they ask why your there say you got fired from some other place with a similar name and show them the proof

"NAME OF HIS OWN COMPANY"
auriane_fml 19
I never do this, but you're asking for it. *than
auriane_fml 19
@ 39, I think that 5 meant that his boss misspelt the name of his own company and that is worse than your/ you're.
Person1233 13
There is none, and never was a your/you're in this FML.

53- 5 is correct. He is saying "If this, then that." You only use than for a comparison.

HOLY **** I AM STUPID. Please excuse me while I chop my balls off so I don't have kids who can be so dumb. My apologies.

This might be a bad time to mention to OP that his second "sentence" was a fragment. Proofread the CV and good luck on the hunt.

63: better advice yet, OP should have someone ELSE proofread the cv/resume. :/

Good 2nd, 3rd, and 4th comments in this thread. Pointless other comments. Example E

Don't forget that the punctuation was outside of the quotes! It's never a bad time for a good grammar lesson.

I hate how bosses want YOU to see THEIR mistake when they should grow up and do it themselves, they aren't five. -_- Also their suppose to be a boss, and be a role model person...
FUUUandyourmom 16
Your second 'their' should be a 'they're.'

There's rom for them to make mistakes, they pay people to correct their mistakes. But op is getting paid to work, if he doesn't do his job well, he deserves to be fired.

I would have pointed it out to to make him feel like a dick.

Your boss is pretty much a jenious.
