Today, I was terminated from my job. This comes after I sent HR an email about an inappropriate relationship between my manager and a counselor. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut. 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 from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, I was fired because I spoke up about a supervisor mistreating me. The assistant VP spent the meeting demeaning me to “teach me a lesson” and then said she was firing me because I “stirred the pot." Man, I really loved that job but I won’t miss the toxic work culture. FML
Today, I came in to work to hand in my resignation. The minute I walked in, my manager took me aside and said he wanted to talk to me in private. He then cancelled my position and fired me. FML
Today, I had a meeting with HR that resulted in me being dismissed for poor performance. I was confused because up until that point, my line manager had said my performance was exemplary. Turns out it wasn't, and he didn't tell me because he didn't want me to be stressed. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for sexual harassment. I was shopping after work, and I had to get my female manager to give me a package of extra-large condoms from the lockbox. I could not convince her that I was not flirting, and she took it to HR. FML
Today, I was fired from my job because I, in my boss's words, "Abided by company policy to such an extent that customers were starting to hate me." FML
Today, I received a two-page letter/rant from my boss notifying me of my imminent dismissal, based on issues such as me "speaking in a suppressed voice." FML
Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML
Today, I was fired for asking HR to move me to another department, due to my manager's unethical behaviour against me. The alternative was shut up and look for another job. Which I have to do now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Every time I was witness to things like that which were against company policy, I made an anonymous complaint in writing to both HR, the head of HR, and the head of the division or branch who was above the level of those who were doing wrong. Can't fire me if you don't know who I am, though I would sometimes get called in along with other people so they could try and root out the "troublemaker." I'd play dumb, of course, because surely they'd fire me for some made up reason.

There are "whistle-blower" protection laws and rules in most com

And in the comments we see a bunch of people being shitty over not allowing people to break rules. Rules are in place for a reason. It's not like it's accidental. They knowingly broke the rules, and I doubt op would care if it didn't affect the business. I mean, if they kept it out of work how would op know?

So you can't date someone from your workplace in America? is that what it's about? Not money laundering or dodgy contracts? Just sex? Wow, that's weird

Fellow non-American here, and thinking exactly the same thing! Seems like a weird rule to exist, and even if such rules exist, it seems even weirder to actually complain to HR about people dating or having sex or whatever. I'm happy not to work in such a place.

Get a damn good Lawyer that works on commission. Also have lawyer complain to the State Licensing Board for the Mental Health Division. Ask why said "professional " still has their license after having used a relationship to directly cause harm to your mental health. Describe relationship to Mental Health Division, if it is sexual in nature that is against the law. Sue and ask for your job back. HR screwed up BIG TIME. Doesn't feel like it, but you are actually in the drivers seat if you handle it right. Good luck.

Unless their relationship is compromising the company than you should have left it alone. That's entirely your fault and you definitely deserve it. Mind your own business.

Sucks to be you, OP. Happened in a company I used to work for before. The team leader has a relationship with a member directly below him and the person who told HR was almost immediately terminated.

Maybe try minding your own business. Hopefully you've learned not be a snitch

Unless the relationship was directly affecting your job then, yes, you should have kept your mouth shut.

Sounds like something that would happen at the retarded place I work at.
