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!

send proof of his spelling to higher above and get your job back.

He probably did it on purpose.

Yep my thoughts exactly. Still not a YDI since OP did get fired, but yeah. One typo by the boss doesn't negate the pile of mistakes OP may have made. If anything, it's just VERY ironic lol

Spell check, dude. You could have avoided this.

Then you were not fired from the place you are employed

Nope, this was on the severance package which just outlines what they get paid (or other benefits) after getting fired. If anything they're not getting severance pay because the company "doesn't exist".

He's the boss -- you've been misspelling the name of the company all along. Know your place, boy!

At least you have a severance agreement. Normally only people who are laid off get those. When a person is fired it's generally because they deserve it, and therefore get no compensation.

I just have to point out that part of your FML is a sentence fragment.. I don't mean to be a Nazi, but I could resist. Best of luck job hunting though.
