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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. 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
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. FML
Today, my boss decided our 4 year relationship was unethical, so she broke up with me, then terminated my employment. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, someone had been stealing my brownie at work every day, so I sprinkled cocolax on one and waited to find out who the culprit was. Turns out it was my manager. Needless to say, I'm fired. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML

Can't you sue for shit like that? I know around here being fired for something like that is one hell of a lawsuit.

Depends on the state where OP lives. In Florida a boss fired several people for wearing the same color shirts (they were wanting to know who was going to lunch and the boss though that they were having some kind of protest.).

Time to make up with your girlfriend and beg for your job back, OP! Or find a new girlfriend that bakes cupcakes!

Your boss sounds like jerk so at least you don't have to work for him any longer. Good luck on the job hunt. I hope you find a much better job with a better boss. I'd also tell you to sue for wrongful termination but the location of this fml says you submitted this from Texas which is a right to work state so you can legally be terminated at any time for any reason.

#31, even better, you can be fired without any cause at all in Texas! Giving a silly "cause" like lack of cookies can be the basis of a lawsuit, but firing without cause is indisputable.

"Because I wanted him gone" should be ground for termination everywhere. So many work places have that super lazy douche who pawns work off on everyone else, never showers and makes annoying jokes while people are trying to work. The only reason he's there is to prevent the lawsuit firing him would cause. At will employment solves that problem.

Unfortunately, that means you can be a really good worker and still get fired because your boss is a jerk, or he wanted a position open for his son/nephew, etc. "Right to work" creates more problems than it solves. If a company really wants to get rid of someone for cause, even in a non-right to work state, it's not that hard. They simply have to document the issue.

Sounds like your boss is an asshole

Can't you somehow report him for that? I don't know anything about that, but that doesn't seem like any plausible reason to fire you...

Point blank.... Send his wife a note that he's a cheating lying dirtbag and cheated with you. That you are sorry. Payback is a b!#*!

You don't think ruining a marriage (assuming the boss is even in one) is a little on the excessive side?

Wrongful termination suit anyone?
