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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Be careful when messing w/ your boss. Could be hard to find a job if you only have bad references.

'Interview Him', Hmmm that's sexist and illegal. Report the tosspot, under the 'Sex Discrimination Act 1975' it is illegal to specify a sex in a job requirement. --> Strike #1 #2 Buy 1 dozen eggs and place in a strategic place in the building ensuring all eggs are cracked about 2 days before departure. #3 - Get another job in your employers time.

I have replaced myself twice in order to receive promotions. My boss went about it the same way, " start interviewing for your replacement." Literally the day I hired my replacement I was offered a substantial pay increase and a promotion. Do it, hope for the best and if he tries to fire you claim sexual harassment and you'll work there forever!
