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, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". 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

Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

I know what you mean. I work at my dads and I want to call him dad all the time, but have to call him his proper name. It's best to keep professional and personal work separate, but I think your dad was over the line there. FYL

I am a woman. My comment was much funnier in my head. Forgive me.

He didn't fire you for the hug, he fired you for calling him a ************. Which, technically, he is...
DocBastard 40
Yes he did. Oops.

Work and home are two different places. Act accordingly.

#30, I'm a little hesitant to accept advice on interpersonal dynamics from someone named ForeverAloneGal. If you were spouting off the etiquette of holding tea parties with 12 cats, I'd be all ears.

Maybe he didn't want the other workers know you're his daughter (either your last name is very common, or you're married and have taken your husband's name). This strange woman huggin' on him at the office would take some 'splainin'.

If you still live at home, just lay around. If you comments on you not doing anything just inform him that if your former boss hadn't been a prick and fired you, you'd have a job to go to.
