A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Late stage capitalism
Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. FML

Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML

YOLO
Today, I was offered my dream job. When I gave my current employer my 2+ weeks notice so they'd have time to find a replacement, I was told to pack up and leave immediately. Now I'm out a month's pay because I gave notice instead of just leaving. FML

Decisions, decisions
Today, my marriage is one week away. Despite all the challenges we faced during COVID, we powered through everything. Today is also the day my work decided to tell me they're letting me go. I now have to either go on my improvised honeymoon or job hunt. FML

Memory error
Today, I lost my job for taking an unauthorized vacation. I just got married and requested time off for the wedding and honeymoon months ago; it was approved then. They forgot, and then got angry because I didn't remind them. I did remind them, the day before I left. FML

Are they allowed to do that? I thought jobs had to give you notice.

Most jobs aren't required to tell you "you're terminated in _ days." Congratulations on the wedding, though

The same thing happened to my brother about 2 weeks before his wedding/honeymoon, and he had child support on 2 daughters plus a new stepson. You'll be okay!Start dropping off resumes and applications as soon as you can.

I'm in NJ and as far as I know jobs will give you warnings if it's a behavioral issue, but layoff and fired aren't the same thing. If you are fired you don't generally get advanced notice unless you were previously warned. Layoffs are corporate issues and they have to let people know the company is in trouble. Most probation periods are 60 days at least here and they are not required to give advance notice.

I assume they let you go because you were a fairly new employee and you wanted time off for the honeymoon. I also think it's fair to assume that you knew you'd be getting married before you got the job. That being said, if you didn't tell them when they hired you, YDI.

You're assuming way too much. Without a follow-up there's no way to be sure whether it was their fault or not. I'm from Germany, and when you're employed here, you get a certain amount of vacation days a year. So, simply said, if you want some time off, you use those. Then it wouldn't really matter that they tried to take days off for their honeymoon, because they would just have to work more later. All that assuming that they wanted to take time off. Considering the zero advance notice and the bad timing I'd say a definite FML.

Jobs have to give you at least a two weeks notice unless you do something to provoke them. I'm not saying you did, just in general.

Sue for wrongful termination, the American way!

That's highly illegal op. Take their asses to court

#49 you couldn't possibly be more wrong. There's no law requiring advance notice before terminating an employee.
