Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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, my boss is still refusing to hire any more people because he's convinced I can handle all of the work after the majority of staff quit. FML

Today, after not receiving my paycheck for over a month, I confronted my boss about it. His response? "You still work here?" FML

Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML

Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML

This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff

Manager of the year
Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML

Today, I came in to work to hand in my resignation. The minute I walked in, my manager took me aside and said he wanted to talk to me in private. He then cancelled my position and fired me. FML

Today, I called my new boss by my old boss's name during a meeting. My new boss said nothing, but just glared at me in silence. Somehow, I think he wasn't impressed. FML

Today, my boss told me to resign within the month, or he'll fire me and give me a bad reference. I talked to him about it again later on, this time with my phone recording everything, so I could take the proof to HR. I guess he knew, because he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about.

I know it's probably a mistake... but I laughed when I saw this was under "intimacy" instead of "work."

You should talk to HR about it and make sure you make a paper trail.

Stop showing up and cash your pay cheques until they stop. You've given your notice - if they choose to continue paying you, that's on them. (I'm not certain how employment law works in Belgium, but that would be the route I'd take here.)

OP "I quit". Boss "that's good, smoking is a nasty habit". OP "no, my job". Boss "well we'll beat smoking together! I'm glad you decided to stay" OP "... What just happened"

See what happens when you stop showing up

Lmfao, your boss can't really do anything about you wanting to quit. One of my mom's bosses said she couldn't quit on the spot but she did. That boss treated her like crap and she was having her stomach checked b/c of her cancer she had

Also, 18, Michigan being an at-will state works for your mother. Companies don't have to have reason or give you a specific amount of notice if they fire you but that works the same way for people who want to quit their jobs in at will employment states. It's the professional thing to do, especially if you want a good reference, but it's not necessary or legally required.

Really? You don't have to give your notice? I really wouldn't to live there, since that probably works both ways too...

Shade, most states in the US are "at will" states which means you can be fired for any reason or no reason so long as it's not for a discriminatory reason with absolutely no notice or warning (like write ups or warnings or anything like that) and it does work both ways. They don't have to give you notice or a reason and neither do you. Again, giving notice is professional courtesy, but, no, it's not necessary to give.

just stop showing up and maybe get paid for still "working" there.

Does he have a computer? If so, get a knife or screwdriver or something and scratch "F*ck yourself, I quit" (or screw yourself if you're like me and don't swear) Then just never come back.

....And then owe him or his company possibly upwards of a few thousand dollars. And who doesn't LOVE getting charged with vandalism? What a GREAT idea! /sarcasm

I guess I'm lucky to be in a "right to work" state. Nothing they can do about it (althoug it's the same the other way around).
mariri9206 32
That's not right to work, that's at will. At will is when you don't need a reason or specified amount of time to be fired or leave your job. Right to work means you have the right to work whether or not you want to join a union - they can't punish you by not letting you work if you want to join a union or if you don't.
