Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I was laid off on the day I was about to put in an offer on a house. This company promised me the world, and I broke myself working to prove my worth. Turns out, I wasn't getting paid for the lunches and breaks I didn't take either. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. 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 was fired from my job of 5 years. I was let go because I couldn't take the company to 'the next level'. My now ex-boss asked me if I could process my severance check because he didn't know how. I had to write myself my last paycheck. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML
Today, I requested a pay rise at work. They said they couldn't do it as they have to cut costs, so I resigned. They've now re-advertised my job for more money than I asked for. FML
Today, as usual, I got to my internship early, did everything my bosses asked. At the end of the day, I was fired after 3 weeks of working unpaid overtime because they found an applicant with more experience for the job I applied to and they wanted to cut costs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey. At least you got the catered lunch. If you didn't they screwed you!

OP didn't get the catered lunch, the boss did...

#2 Even if they did give OP lunch, I think OP still got screwed

I think he was just finding an excuse to let you go. Sorry OP

You're better off in an environment where they're more honest anyway. The least your boss could do was be honest about his/her's reason of firing you.

Sounds to me like you should be getting into the catering business then.

I honestly don't know whether I should feel happy or disgusted about this pun
badluckalex 23
At first I was like, "wait there is no cat in this fml." Then I realized it wasn't a pun on cats. **** mondays...

#8 - How could you be disgusted by that hilariously smug face alongside that pun?

They fire anyone these days and expect the reason to be their poor upkeep ability when in fact its their irresponsibility that lead them here. I can only suggest you try with another company and be successful. Show everyone your worth.

They'll get their just desserts. I hope you find a better job.

not sure how this could possibly solve OP's issue.
ProfessorMctitie 20
What does OP have to lose?

His/Her freedom. And anal virginity.

that might be the precious skin on thier ass and the fantastic possibility that they just blew any chance of a reccomendation letter and a good reputation, risking what little chance they still have for finding a new job. but that's it really.

what if the boss wants there pants pulled down?

probably best if you stopped working for such idiots, and find another job.
