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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, it's my birthday and I had to work. My boss wished me a happy birthday, and then told me I was fired. 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, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML
Today, I got a call from my employers wanting to ask why I had a no call, no show for today. My supervisor reported me for not showing up to work. It's my day off, and also my birthday. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, I got a call from the office telling me I was fired. When I asked why, my boss explained my mother called and told him I was in a "weak mental state." She thought she was helping me get off for my birthday. Now I have no job. FML

Gotta love favoritism wherever you go. Looks like you didn't kiss enough ass, OP. Happy birthday to your daughter though! At least she has a parent willing to make sacrifices on her special day.

#91: I find this site rather tame, actually. Go see the other parts of the internet. You will never be the same person again. ._.

funny thing about the workplace. Usually the managers like employees who are responsible, sociable, competent and easy to manage. That's how they get to be favourites. If you're not a favourite, it's probably because you are none of the above. So you didn't get fired for playing hooky - you got fired for being a mediocre or bad employee and then lying about being sick, which was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.

You got fired for lying about why you were missing work, not for missing work to be at your kid's birthday. Your boss's favorite employee probably got that way by being honest and doing things like requesting a day off well in advance of something he had tons of advance notice on, LIKE A ******* BIRTHDAY. Seriously, they are on the same day every year. You could have requested the day off months in advance, but you had to be a douche and call in sick the day of.

Sue them for wrongful termination. Subpoena the work logs as proof that he was allowed sick hours for a personal affair.

I'm suprised no one has said to this girl: I'd like to rub my dick between your double standards
