Today, I was laid off from the job I'd had for two years. They couldn't even manage to spell my name or the company's name right on the severance letter. Guess I was a memorable employee. FML

Op here! Unfortunately it was very real, 5 others were laid off as well. Let's just say the "HR" department consists of one person not even qualified for the job, so it wasn't a surprise they couldn't even get a layoff right. On a positive note I already have a new job lined up and the terrible company will probably be bankrupt soon.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If the companies name on the letter is incorrect and the name on the letter is incorrect then technically you may not be laid off, as it is someone else who works somewhere else on that letter not you.

Is it possible that you are being pranked? Misspelled company name on an 'official' document seems suspicious to me.

Does the situation magically get better if they had spelt your name right? It sucks that you got laid off anyway. It could have been a very bad typing error.

If they spelled neither your nor the company's name correctly, would that not mean it's invalid?
