Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I was at work when a co-worker decided it would be funny to email me from my boss's computer to tell me I had been laid off. It wasn't funny when I was fired for real after "skipping work without giving notice." FML
Today, my boss called me to inform me that I'm being laid off. In my ensuing fit of rage, I deleted the recent project I've been working on for weeks. Pretty soon after, he called me back to let me know it was a prank. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, I got fired via text. The last sentence was, "Wish you the best, take care!" FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. FML
Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired. FML
Today, while trying to get my boss to reconsider laying off much of my department, I accidentally convinced him to lay me off too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should text him back. Say: "Thank god! I was having trouble coming up with new ways to deals with your psychological issues! Lmao"

Talk to someone higher up in the company and show them how professional he is. Even if you still get fired he may suffer a similar fate.

Laid off and fired are two different things. However that is still unprofessional and you should take it to someone higher up. Sorry you got laid off

My friend's mom got laid off from budget cuts. She still doesn't have a job and is depending on her husband. It's a sad economy we have, good luck finding another job OP.

What if the boss replies with a "lol" because it's tiny?

It's not about the size, it is about the confidence.

It is really disrespectful, laughing at a person losing his job. And low.

I'm sorry OP. If he's that imature he shouldn't be in the place of a boss. Hopefully you will find a better job with a better employer. :)

Your boss is very unprofessional. My opinion is you're better off.

That's worse than a break up via texting...I hope you can find a job that in the case you get laid off they can tell you not text you...
