Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML

Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML

Text back and say "Error 404. Text message not received. Please contact service provider." Show up the next day and quit. Checkmate.

Who voted "You deserved it"? Nobody deserves a piece of shit boss! It was very rude of him/her to act like that.

I know how you feel, OP. I was fired two weeks before Christmas, it sucks. Hopefully we will both be better off without those crappy jobs. Good luck.

That's actually a really good point #40. And his boss probably wouldn't say anything because he sounds like a little bitch.
