Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, I got fired via text. The last sentence was, "Wish you the best, take care!" 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, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, I had a major falling out with my best friend. Angry, I sent a short text message to him explaining how I felt. I soon noticed I'd accidentally texted "I'm going to fucking kill you, asshole." to my boss instead. I'm still waiting on a reply. FML
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. He then fired me. Upset, I asked him, "Well, who's gonna replace me?" His answer was, "I don't know and don't care. Everyone who works here hates you. Now go away." FML
Today, I got a heads-up that my boss suffered a death in the family, but was coming into work anyway. I thought he'd be depressed, but it seems he deals with grief with anger instead. I found that out when he yelled at me, threatening to rip my spine out my ass over a typo I made in a report. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell him he can only fire you if he can spell it right.

Why is your exclamation point in parentheses followed by ellipses(?)...

I think Jonah Webster is rolling over in his grave.

At least he gave you a heads up so you're not blindsided by it.

At least you got the heads up I went for surgery and begged my Dr to let me go back to work before the full week was up, just to be fired when I got back

When you what!? Returned to work? Had sex with the bosses daughter? Egged the bosses house? Don't leave us hanging there!

I'm curious as to what the CEO is pissed about.

Same here, also, I'm surprised to see that few comments here look at this in the FML. People are complaining about text language being used in a text, rather than comment on how did op annoy the manager, and does op deserve to be fired for it?

Agreed, the text sounds more like a reaction to something OP did rather than around of lay offs due to corporate reasons.

With, or without?? They're kind of opposite, in case you hadn't noticed.

the manager probably learned to text from a flip phone that didnt have a full keyboard. it was so much effort to use proper language that people texted like this. thats why its usually adults who use this text lingo,

I learned to text that way too. I still took the time to type actual words. This is just a lazy bastardization of the English language.
