Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at work, cleaning up a construction site. I picked up a beer can and accidentally spilled some of it on me. My boss came in to check on me and thought I was drunk. Instead of getting a raise, I was fired. FML
Today, my boss fired me because of my drinking problem. The reason he thinks I have a drinking problem? I was in a play he saw, in which I played a drunk person. I've been completely sober my whole life. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML
Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML
Today, it's day one of my suspension and probably being fired from my job. Why? I accidentally took a beer out my bag instead of a soda, then got distracted working to make sure everything got done. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
Today, after being a resident DJ at a local club for over 4 years, I got fired. Not because I'm bad at what I do, but because my boss thinks I'm not 'having fun like the other DJs'. And by 'having fun' he means that I don't drink enough. I got fired for not being an alcoholic. FML
Today, my boss wrote me up for drinking Kombucha at work, swearing it was "fancy Asian beer." I went to HR with the bottle and they dismissed the write up, since they saw sense and realized. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your job is to smell like booze.

You had a sweet job OP! I wish my official title could be Brew Master!

Well brew masters tend to like alcohol and it's possible that the alcohol OP's boss is smelling is that of processed alcohol seeping through OP's skin from consumption.
Damn_Hippster 11
I think a reasonable question is did OP's breath smell like alcohol?

maybe your boss thinks you were drinking as well and has this overall idea that "you're there to work, not to drink." key word: maybee

Exactly haha, especially if his breath smells like the brew is he is brewing. I'd imagine drinking the product would be a problem.

All the breweries I've been to let their employees drink on the job. Granted, I've been to about three, but I heard they had that policy elsewhere.

Well if OP's boss thought he was drinking in the job, he Should have tested him.

I'm going to take a wild guess and assume part of being a brew master is to sample your products to make sure they are up to par. So even if he did have alcohol o his breath it would be part of his job.

Best job ever.

How are you supposed to know if the beer is any good unless you taste it? Your boss is a dolt.

Well either you or your boss has been stealing company product. Not sure who to blame though.
hotPinklipstick 24
How do you get that? OP smells like alcohol because he is a brew master, not because of stealing products. His boss, well that's a different story.
maxwells_hammer 5
It was a joke. I was saying the boss either fired him for drinking it or the boss is being stupid because he's drunk. I don't actually think the OP did anything wrong though.

What a retard, I hope you pointed out his mistake and got your job back.
