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

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 "lack of attention to details", specifically spelling errors. My now ex-boss misspelled the name of his own company on my severance agreement. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. When I asked why, all that was said to me was, "We don't have to disclose that information, but you did nothing wrong. It's just not working out." FML
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. FML
Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML
Today, after two and half years at my company and after recently being promoted, I was told by my boss the business doesn't feel it needs me, and invited me to find another job. FML
Today, it was the first day of my new job. It was also the last day of my new job. I got a call immediately after finishing my shift to be told the company has "decided to go in a different direction" and will no longer be needing my services. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
Today, I was told I was being fired from my job after "5 months for poor performance." I helped lead my team to the highest possible success they’ve had the last 4 years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Haha, I'd tell him to go **** himself and walk away. I'm not paid to write my own check anymore. He has to figure it out anyways or he could get into huge trouble.

i feel like your boss doesn't personally write the checks out for you normally the company/business' accountant prints out your checks your boss just signs them.. i call fake

I would have charged an 'outside consultant' fee for that task.

If one of your responsibilities is to fill out checks then you must be an accountant. Why would your boss rely on an accountant to bring the company to the next level? Unless it's a small business where you're the manager/accountant with many other responsibilities then I guess it makes sense. But it would be more of your boss's fault for the company's failure. You're better off with another job.

wow, you actually did it? I would have told him to go "**** himself, running." or something like that... I am with #42... you are better off. If the asshat doesn't know how to write a check to you, then i am sure he is going to pick a real winner when they try to replace you.

Did you add lots of zeros?

Shouldn't your ex-boss be the one getting fired? You couldn't take your company to the "next-level" but it's your ex-boss who didn't know how to do cheques? Definitely a FML.
