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

You can sue for being improperly informed about your laid off and that your boss is mocking you about being laid off. It's kind of illegal.

I thought that firings had to be official. Unless you work for a small company , don't do anything until you hear from HR

It is, it only counts if you get an official notice in writing. That being said, boss said 'being laid off', so the official notice is probably already on the way...

Wow, what did you do? Need to have made a real bad impression for the Boss to do that. Or your ex-boss may just be a wankwand of the tallest order
