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

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.

The 13th amendment to the US constitution abolished slavery. You have a right to quit. See HR and make sure your final pay, vacation etc. are covered. Your boss is an idiot.

Being drafted into MLB, NFL, etc. is voluntary. ;-)

#43: From Wikipedia: The Selective Service System is authorized by the Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution which says Congress "shall have Power To ... raise and support Armies [and] To provide and maintain a Navy;" The Selective Service Act was the law which established the Selective Service System under these provisions. The article section that authorizes the Selective Service System doesn't explicitly state "conscription" or "draft" though and "raise" means to create, not conscript. Still, the act has been challenged in light of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which prohibits "involuntary servitude." These challenges, however, have not been supported by the courts as the Supreme Court stated in Butler v. Perry (1916):

Pretty sure slavery is abolished in most modern countries. You have the right to quit. Go to HR and have them take care of establishing your last work day and getting paid for unused vacation and back wages. Your boss is an idiot.

I had this happen to me. due to my lengthy commute my boss and i spoke on the phone i resigned and thanked her for the opportunity and right before hanging up she said she'd hold the position until i figured out what i wanted. I ended up just calling HR and resigning

Can you even do that?

Getting fired is actually a really bad idea, as it has a serious effect on any financial supplements one might have.

Perhaps the boss just doesn't want to deal w/ interviewing job applicants and training a new employee....
