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, 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, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

How did you cause a commotion?

Were you singing 'I want to break free'? Because the would be pretty disrupting. Awesome, but still

Is your boss a dog?

Just looking for any excuse to fire people. If there are cameras or witnesses at your job, then what?

Are all of your co-workers dogs who are afraid of the vacuum?

That's why you don't vacuum during the funeral service op.

An if you didn't clean up the mess with the vacuum then your post would have been. Today I got fired for not cleaning up a mess near customers because I didn't want to cause a commotion. Sound like your boss was just looking for a reason to fire you. Sick for him you sound like a good employee

Sounds to me like they were just looking for an excuse at that point unfortunately.
