Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML
Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML
Today, after trying so hard to get myself back on my feet, I had an amazing interview and I was hired on the spot. I was so happy, until I read the position I was given, and it turns out I didn't get full-time, I got barely enough hours to even be part-time. FML
Today, my phone cut out during a call for a job interview. I tried calling them back, but there was no answer. Later, I got an email from the interviewer, saying I was no longer being considered for the position due to my being "rude and unprofessional." FML
Today, I got denied a job. They told me I was unreliable because I didn't show up for my third interview. This is the same interview they called and cancelled this morning. FML
Today, after having tried for months to get a promotion at work, I finally had an interview for a higher position. Everything went great, and I was told I would get a call next week for my second interview. I went back to my desk, only to get an email stating they're canceling the position. FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, my two co-workers got the promotion we were all working for. The reason they got the promotion and not me? My interview got cancelled because of a policy change, implemented that day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow, people really don't understand how that works... Okay, if you've never had that happen to you, you shouldn't comment on it, really people don't show your stupidity... Let's say you work for Krogers (which until I got a better job, I recently did) Krogers will work you the minimum 8 hrs a week, and they'll call you in any other day that they may need you. Now, it's not fair because if they need you they should schedule you anyway, but since you're in a union (which Krogers is) you get only the minimum allowed hours weekly at just a few cents above minimum wage. If you don't come in when they call you in, they won't schedule you for any extra hours beyond what they HAVE to give you. If you come in all the hours that they didn't schedule you but called you in, they'll continue to give you full time hours on a part time allowance. It's a scam a lot of grocery stores and other retailers do to keep themselves with a cashier and you with as little as they can give you and every other employee... Like I said, if you don't know any better, you probably shouldn't comment on things like this... FYL OP

It's funny because it could have been worse and it's moist. Nobody is born gay--it's a choice just like what clothes you wear! FTW!! Dur dur dur I'm cool coz I come one here and comment on every single FML.

79 I'm not gay but I'm pretty sure choosing what gender you prefer is more complicated than choosing what clothes you wear. For example, you couldn't choose to like a guy out of nowhere if you like girls (assuming you're a guy).

You deserve it for going for another job without even giving a notice to your first job that you were going to leave. Dumb ass.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
If he didn't already have the other job why would they give notice at their first job? It would be incredibly stupid to quit before a new job was a definite. The other thing is I'm pretty sure the OP was supposed to be off because you usually only get "called in" when they need someone to replace an employee who is supposed to be there. That having been said, you don't usually need to fill your employers in on what you are doing on your day off, it's none of their business. However some jobs are annoying in that if you can't come in on your day off just because they decided they need you too, they will punish you for not being at their beck and call 24/7.

Um, no, 3. It's his own fault for not being responsible for his own company when he wasn't even SURE he was good enough for the better job. He bailed, YDI.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
They were called in which only occurs when you aren't scheduled to be there, such as when another employee calls in sick and they need someone to cover that shift. The OP didn't bail on work, they just didn't change the plans they had already made to instantly accommodate them.

YDI for trying to get a better job on company time.
rileykins 0
it's called calling in sick, dumbass?
5t3ff1k4h 47
I think you're misreading the FML. "Getting called in" usually implies they weren't scheduled for a shift. I interpret this as OP was on the way to the interview (or would be shortly) when they got the call, and their workplace wanted them in within the hour or something. OP said they couldn't make the shift, so said workplace became annoyed, since they didn't get what they wanted. The way this FML is worded makes me wonder if they answered their phone DURING the interview and let the workplace who called know they were in an interview...
takemytrollz 0
are you asking if it's called calling in sick? Or if he's a dumbass? Or maybe if you're a dumbass?
rileykins 0
lol i did read it wrong, myyy bad. :]
5t3ff1k4h 47
16- I think they just placed an inflection at the end of the sentence and assumed because of the inflection there should be a question mark there. Which makes them a dumbass. EDIT: No offense to Rileykins, but I just get annoyed when people include a question mark where there shouldn't be one.

yeah I know, I was just bein a dick.

no offence taken, but i was indeed saying it as a question.

What's wrong with trying to get a better job? Op couldve handled it better, but just cuz you work at mcdonalds or somethin doesn't mean you should love that job and hold it sacred for the rest of your life.
5t3ff1k4h 47
You're all morons. He didn't get fired. His hours were cut from his original job (for example, he used to work 25 hours a week and now he's at 10 a week) and he didn't pass the interviewing process for the higher paying job. All he has is the original job, now with less hours. @23 - For sure, it's stupid to hold something like McDonalds sacred as a job. But it's a wise idea to look for another job while you still have the McDonalds, so you have something to fall back on in the event you don't get the other job.

No, he totally deserves it. Should've called ahead to make sure he could have the day off. And he should have made sure he was even WORTHY of the better job, because he obviously wasn't, and he just screwed himself. Way to make yourself work less, buddy.

R u on call 24/7? Otherwise I can't see why they'd penalize u...unless u were an idiot & blabbered "I cdn't come b/c I had an interview!" oh u r from Texas u must have done that!
