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

It's *harassment* and no it isn't. It's OP's father she was hugging not a random stranger as her boss.

One time my boss (husband) sent me home for having a bad attitude. It improved instantly after I got the rest of the day off!

Maybe I'm thinking outside the box here, but if people at work knew you were related and you gave him a hug, he really shouldn't have made a big deal about it. If they didn't know you were related, than i don't think the other employees would make a big deal out of it. it looks like he was ashamed to let people know you are his daughter.I know you were at work, but you should still talk with your dad about it, because I interoperated it as he was ashamed to let people know the family connection thus over reacting and firing you. Either way, FYL firing you was messed up when all he could've done was give you a warning. But maybe I'm over analyzing this.

Your "dad" is a dick, tell your mom to cut him off for a month for firing you

He was probably afraid of being accused of nepotism. Most companies have policies against relatives or spouses working in the same department to try to reduce HR issues and nepotism.
