Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML

Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML

Today, my boss wanted to promote me to a managerial position. I declined the position, saying that I don't think I'm ready and experienced enough for that role. I was then fired instead for not accepting the promotion. I was fired for being honest. FML

Don't know what I think about this, but if it were my first day as promoted manager, I'd try to impress people as much as possible.

Good impression #1: Always arrive at least ten minutes early. They love seeing eager workers. #2 Know the number. If you're delayed... call and tell them. It's appreciated.

FYL. You don't get fired outright from a managerial position for being late once, even if it is day one. A disciplinary maybe, but not fired. You shouldn't have even been demoted.

Unless you had a legitimate reason for being late, you really deserved it.

I love how so many people hit YDI without thinking stuff like "Was he fired for being late once?" or "Why was he late? Was there a traffic jam? Did his alarm clock fail? Was there an accident on the road?" or stuff like that. FYL.
