Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML
Today, my boss found out that my girlfriend dumped me. He asked if that meant she would no longer bring her delicious homemade cookies to the office. When I said yes, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, my boss decided our 4 year relationship was unethical, so she broke up with me, then terminated my employment. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML
Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years threatened to break up with me because when she came by my work, she saw me talking to another girl. The girl was a trainee. I'm the boss of the company, so it's my responsibility to train new people. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Without an explanation from you beforehand? Take that to the HR

Geez, is there any way you could explain it to your boss? I hate when people jump into conclusions like that. And what the f is wrong with your girlfriend? I understand there's never a good time to break up, but during work?? Looks to me like she's scared of what your reaction would be so she did it in the one place where you're supposed to not show your emotions. Breaking up should be a private event between two people. Do it in a private place, for Pete's sake.. Now that I'm done with my rant, Stay strong OP!

Nah, we only just discovered the element of fire and written language last week. Maybe next month we'll get around to basic workplace stuff.

Go get a way better job now and she will try to get you back. And then you can say no and reject her AND have more money!

I don't know what kind of work you do, OP, but if it's retail, your (ex) girlfriend could've easily been a customer as well. Your (ex) boss is a jackass.

OP is French, he should take that to "les Prud'hommes" (French labour court), this might be a case of wrongful termination.

That's just plain old unfair on both accounts mate, sorry it happened.

After a single instance without any warning? Doubt it. Unless you don't have rights where you live.

Be thankful that both your girlfriend and employer have the "ex" prefix.

Sorry OP, your ex is a total a-hole. Who breaks up with someone while they are at work?
