Today, my girlfriend dumped me. This poses a problem, because her mother is my boss, and we work in an office on the first story of their apartment. Tomorrow I have to decide whether to quit my awesome and only job, or go to work for my now ex's mother in their house. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I went to see my boyfriend with the intention of breaking up with him. Instead I discovered that he lost his job today and has to move back in with his parents. I can't bring myself to dump someone who's already crying about his horrible day. Now I have to comfort my soon-to-be ex. FML
Today, I was working my shift and my ex girlfriend came in to apply for a job. She broke up with me for another guy so i can't stand being in the same room as her. The manager talked to her and decided to hire her on the spot. I need to train her. FML
Today, I had a job interview. Everything was cool, until I found out that the HR recruiter was my mother-in-law. She told me that the work was mine if I break up with her daughter. I have until the next Wednesday to think about it. FML
Today, the girl my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with had a job interview at my place of work. If she gets the job, she'll be my manager. FML
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
Today, I found out my ex is applying for a job at my current company. She may become my boss. FML
Today, my boss fired me because he wants to start dating my mother and apparently doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least it's only the first story. That's a survivable fall if you get thrown out the window by either the ex or the mother ...

Unless your now ex-girlfriend is making it seem like you dumped her and creating drama, i don't see how this is a problem. Talk with your 'boss' outside of working time because work and home drama should not mix. It's not professional.

There is an ancient piece of Wisdom: "Don't Shit where you eat" Well yes, it's too late for this now. OK Fine. Yes, Go. Go in to work. Go in. Act professionally and perfectly. If someone (her mom, her, whomever) Gives you some nonsense.... Be Nice. Her Mom's The Boss. Not only does she pay your bills now, but she's also a reference for future employment-someone whom you are going to want people in the future to call and say 'Yes he worked for me and he did good things'. So Be nice and look around for your next opportunity. When you find it, Take it-And when you take it, exit with grace having learned the previous lessons, and consider yourself very lucky-in some places there are folks who wouldn't hesitate to find a way to scream 'SEXUAL HARASSMENT' or something so count your blessings.

Why should it matter? Work is work if the mother is at all professional an understanding there shouldn't be a problem. If you are so worried about it then talk to her about it and get it out right away.

Hopefully, you can keep working and not have more issues start looking for another job. Dating a co-worker is always bad because it complicates things and can potentially ruin a job/reference. Start looking for other jobs due your best and never date someone you work with.

I say stay at your job. Don't let her have the upper hand; show her you're stronger than she thinks :)

OP, as long as you didn't do anything stupid to cause the breakup, you should continue working there unless asked to leave. If that's the outcome, hopefully, you'll get a nifty severance check.

Solution: sleep with the mother, that way you can get back at your ex and climb the corporate ladder

You should be alright, she dumped YOU. Now if you dumped her, that might be another story.
