Today, my boss gave me a new assignment at work: go online and look for my own replacement, then interview him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, my colleague started to look for a new job. For me. FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, fifteen minutes before the end of the day, my boss asked me who I was training to replace me. He then said never mind, that it was his job to choose someone. I hadn't indicated that I was planning on leaving the company. FML
Today, my boss sent me some application forms to check over. After I spell-checked them and returned them, I found out they're going to be used to hire someone to replace me. FML
Today, I've been working towards a management position at my IT job for 9 years. My boss quit, so I thought, "This is my chance!" Nope, our department got outsourced and now I'm interviewing for my own job on Monday. FML
Today, my boss hired a new meat cutter because our old one stopped showing up for work. After he put the smock on, I told him what needed to be done. Without saying a word, he walks over to my boss, hands him his smock and says, "I quit." Guess I'm on my own. FML
Today, I had the great pleasure of meeting my replacement, who was sitting at my desk in my office. My boss must've forgotten to mention to me that I've been fired. FML
Today, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML
Today, I interviewed potential employees for a job position that I was supposed to get promoted to. FML
Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get the worst possible replacement you can!

Find the worst qualified people to interview, and then don't hire anyone. While you're doing this, look for a new job. What's your boss going to do? Fire you?

I don't think he couldn't have been much more subtle than that, could he? Find the absolutely worst person you can for your replacement. That'll show him.

You should hire a shitty replacement so that he/she can get fired and you take their place.

Hire them and do not have them bring in the proper legal documents, then report the company for hiring the employee illegally, that ***** the company and gives you time to find a better job.

This is where you tell your boss to "shove it up his ass" and then quit... That should be his job to hire and train someone new, not yours. Start looking for a new job op.

Quit. Quit with style. Maybe have a water pistol fight in the office? Or play duck duck goose. Enjoy your last moments.

Wait, water pistol fights are a sign people want to quit? I thought it just meant we were bored on a thursday again.

I'd hire someone completely unqualified and douche-y to take my place.

Or just quit and not hire anyone. But that's just my take on things :P

As a boss I'm pissed that these type of bosses still exist - go get a new job fast and quit without interviewing or hiring your replacement - your boss is a douche and deserves to to get get screwed over !!
