Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Unfair dismissal
Today, I was let go without warning at work. Why? Because my boss saw some comments I'd posted. Nothing I'd said was offensive or controversial, but he said he didn't care, because he didn't agree with it and didn't want me to "smear" the company name. I represent the company? I just serve coffee. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. My boss claimed it was because I smelled like alcohol, never mind the fact that my job was brewmaster at a beer company. FML
Today, at work, a customer ordered a caramel latte with no caramel. I made a regular latte after explaining that’s what it was. He got angry and threw it at me. I got fired for insulting his intelligence. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss found out that my girlfriend dumped me. He asked if that meant she would no longer bring her delicious homemade cookies to the office. When I said yes, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my boss fired me for causing a "commotion" at work while running the vacuum. FML
Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML
Whoops
Today, I was late for work and got chewed out by my boss. To console myself I decided to drink a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. My work provides this for free. When I did, my boss told me that in fact it wasn't, nor has it ever been, free; all this time I've been stealing other people's coffee. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I look like her ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward" to my boss. All I did was get him coffee and a biscuit from McDonald's to celebrate his 15-year anniversary working there. FML

that really sux.can t u sue him?
ImaginaryFoe 1
I realise I frequently ask this question whenever someone posts a comment about suing but I can't help myself. Sue for what? If it is OP's job and she didn't do it properly, her boss can fire her. It sucks but that's why it's called work and not fun. The boss probably made sure to cite a valid reason before terminating employment.

Why does it have to be a her. The post never identified gender.
Cristaderzi 0
And in some places they can legally fire you for ANY reason!! Hence they don't need a reason... And there are all very different kind of coffee beans and tea leaves!! So OP ya need to get together cause reallly you sound lost!!!

#35, it doesn't have to be a her. It has to be a "him" or a "her" and I was posting from my ipod in haste and didn't feel like doing this thing: him/her, he/she, etc. I assumed female because I am a female and I work for a female.

Yeah, if her job involves getting coffee beans, she's likely on "at will employment" which basically just means they can fire you without reason whenever they want. Company uses it for employees lower down the organisations structure who are easily replaced. Anyway, regardless, she didn't get the right kind of coffee beans, that can be a major thing and if it's her job then she deserves to lose it. I mean heavy in caffeine, or decaf, the different flavours, there are a lot of variations.

imaginaryfoe I'm pretty sure the op's job is in an office and he had to go get coffee for his boss

Erm, thank you, jason. Did I don't express any confusion about where OP worked? I'm not sure what you're responding to.

she could sue him for wrongful termination of her job. any two-bit low grade lawyer could win a case like that. idiot

Not if the company had it in writing that they could fire her without a reason. Idiot

You can't sue someone for firing you unless it was because of discrimination of age/race etc. Sue happy people suck.

I think you can't do that go to the union if you are in one but that's just not right

You deserve it if you brought him the coffee beans.
ElMetalero 0
right. why didn't u just do what ur told? u totally complete 110% deserve it
iamchuck 0
You would have been fired for something else if you had brought right coffee beans. Your boss had already decide to fire you and was just looking for any little flub to justify it.
