Today, my boss got angry at me because my English is better than his. He accused me of trying to steal his management position, and implied that I'll be lucky if I still have a job by the end of the month. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, at work, a man punched me in the face because he said I took his son's job. He meant both me and his son applied for the same job. He also asked to speak to my boss, because he thinks I "cheated." 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 scolded by my boss, all because I can finish most tasks in a quarter of the time it takes him, and he doesn't want to be shown up. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me because I'm unproductive, and haven't been doing anything. He doesn't tell me what to do, and expects me to read his mind. When I ask him what he wants me to do, he gets pissed and says that I should already know what to do. FML
Today, my boss told me I may lose my job due to underperformance. I was shocked, as he'd previously mentioned that I was performing well, and that I was safe from the current company wide layoffs. I asked him what I need to improve on. He said that my instant messages to him are sometimes too long. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hmm, that's funny. Most mature people are happy when people know how to speak correctly.

Better English is definitely something to be proud of. My manager is an idiot also and her texting drives me insane. She uses Ty for thank you, u for you and etc. She also doesn't proofread any of the signs she will post around our store.

Tell him you have no desire to take his job. Also thank him for letting you know you are good enough for his position.

Use really big words to insult him. It'll get your anger out and he won't know what you said.

Tell him it's because you read FML everyday.

The really cancerous grammar is only in the moderating part. That's where you get those "man door hand hook car door" sorts of things.

No one deserves an ignorant boss, be lucky if you do get fired.

Because getting fired in this shitty economy is viewed as "lucky"...

Don't be sad. Take pride in it. You will probably get much farther in life than him!

I doubt that if he is being fired. Plus his boss already has a head start.

#10 I'm not usually a grammar nazi but since you said that I have to be. First of all why does that name mean he isn't good at English? Secondly 'your' will never mean 'you are'

Considering OP can't use a comma properly, I doubt it.
