The buck stops here
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Nice meeting you
Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML

HOW CAN SHE SLAP?
Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML

Today, I was fired. For "lack of attention to details", specifically spelling errors. My now ex-boss misspelled the name of his own company on my severance agreement. FML

Oh darling, no!! No no no no!! NEVER correct your boss! You're just ASKING for unemployment when you do that! If they're higher up than you, they're always right, even when they're wrong!

Never correct your boss in public. You should have known better. Learn your lesson for the future. YDI.

Wait, was it this: "It was neither This or That "Sir, you mean, 'nor.'" Or was it: "So then we can get all our trucks in a row!" "Ducks, it's get all our *ducks* in a row." Or was it: "So our total sales in that quarter should bring us to a total of $250 billion in profit." "I think you mean million?" Or was it: "So Marketing should have it done by the 12th." "Actually, Sir, they sent in revisions just before the meeting, it'll be the 18th now." Or was it: "I sure could use a Coke." "You mean Pepsi. Coke's shit." Because some of these things are not like the others.

Most states in the U.S. are "employment at will". This means that the employer can fire an employee for pretty much any reason, even nonsensical reasons, with the exception of race, color, creed, etc. So, if an employer doesn't like the color of tie an employee wears or the way the employee chews his/her food or the kind of car the employee drives, the employer can fire that employee without notice and without offering severence. You and I would call these types of terminations "without just cause", but the employer doesn't need a "just cause" to terminate. Even if the "protected class" employee feels he/she was terminated due to race, color, creed, etc., it's up to he/she to prove it, which can be very difficult and expensive to pursue in court.

yeah. your right. So you can get your job back so he can fire you a second time for being a dickwad. You could have handled it better.

Anybody who clicks " you deserved it" is probably horrible with their grammar as well.
