Today, our company's owner's son took over. The first thing he did? Fire me. Why? He said my sales are down. I work in Public Relations. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was fired for telling a customer's kid to shut his mouth. As revenge, I sent the CEO a picture I acquired months ago of my boss drunkenly pissing on a cow. He wrote that it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, and that I am "clearly an insufferable killjoy; a total liability to the company." FML
Today, my boss thanked me for all my hard work and promised me a raise and a promotion. Shortly thereafter, she sent out a memo announcing she'd sold the company. The new owner immediately came in to "restructure." I got demoted. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML
Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML
Today, the company I was fired from three years ago merged with the company I work at now. The new owners' first order of business was to fire me again. FML
Today, I was fired from the job I've had for 15 years. My boss recently hired his daughter as a senior manager and she made several cuts because, as she put it, the sales team was "too old and lame". I didn't know being a young bitch was a requirement to work at a furniture warehouse. FML
Today, I got fired. There was a customer last night who showed up two minutes after our closing time, 11 p.m.. She knocked on the door many times, but I ignored her and kept sweeping the floor. She eventually left. Turns out she’s the VP’s daughter and told him I was “rude and inconsiderate” to her. 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 was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, I was a manager of a store for 12 years and I'd had an agreement with the owner that I was to be signed over as full manager until I could buy the store… and then he goes to sell it to a kid I'd fired. I got fired. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

1, Exactly, I don't think anyone would enjoy working for an idiot,, unless that idiot gives out free money..
trinibrit 7
Sounds like he just didn't like u Ô.o
ElmoSaysSquishy 28
Or the new boss is just an idiot. Possibly both.
BadApple88 29

I'd rather put up with a bad boss than have no job, its kinda hard to find one these days.

Isandri 29
yeah and beside sueing everybody for everything, you shouldn't ever be fired like that.
ambitiousnygrl 17
I agree! OP can sue for unlawful termination.

Not likely. They probably work in one of those "Right to work" states. That's a euphemism "We can fire you for whatever reason we want". If you work in a state where there's some employment protection, you could use the argument that your sales were not actually down. It was 0, in the previous year, and 0 now. This is actually, a 1000% improvement. See if you can get employee of the year

56- I believe that if it went from 0 to 0 it would be a 0% increase. Although asking for the award couldn't hurt.
RedPillSucks 33
Yeah. I was using multiplication instead of addition. My Bad, but it was intended to be tongue in cheek, not factual.
bfsd42 20
56 was right. 1000% of 0 is still 0. Add 0 to 0 and you get 0.
rawr_ily96 24
Heck, it could even be 1,000,000%.
Maddy9111 11
he sounds like a real doosh.
sirpantselot 22
This is going to get ugly. New record maybe?

I guess we can be glad Maddy left the "yolo" off this post :P

Maddy, if you're from Africa why are you white?
AH1Zviper 15
There are some white people in Africa you know. They're not just limited to the northern hemisphere.
Dimence 9
South Africa.
RedPillSucks 33
Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana, Libya, Egypt, etc.
_streets_ 19
oh my god twinny you can't just ask people why they're white....haha I love mean girls.
twinny_sc 13
haha thank you I knew someone would get the reference!

Oh! Such irony.
Mister_Triangle 21
There's no irony at all...
Eluveitie 9
'Irony' has become the most missused word nowadays. :/
genericfmluser 17
right along side literally.
SHAMUS_the_WITTY 18
It would have been ironic if the OP had recently reported a coworker for having low sales. This is just sad.

Clearly he was awarded the position based on his competence and effective leadership.

With the son only getting the job through nepotism, and being fire happy on people vital to the business for stupid, unrelated reasons - it seems like the business isn't going to be around for much longer... It's probable he would have lost his job one way or the other eventually.
miura_fml 17
I'll never understand how this is normal for some of you guys. You seriously have a lot to learn from Europe and other continents. Personally, I wouldn't even want to work for that asshole. All you can do now is hope his company flushes down the toilet and find a better job! :)

I'm sure you can at least get some unemployment while you're finding another job. You're probably better off somewhere else anyway. Sounds like he's an idiot. It may seem like it sucks right now, but hopefully you'll look back later on and see it as a blessing in disguise. Just keep your head up.
xStaciexLynnx 15
I'm pretty sure you can't get unemployment after being fired.
Shmatterhorn 38
#39, it all depends on the reason why OP was fired. In this case OP should consult with an attorney to make sure that the unemployment claim will be accepted.
mistercrow 9
That's when you say, "Yeah bitch please! 'down' just like how your mother was on me last night."
brackaman 18
Yep, that's likely to help loads.
mistercrow 9
Well honestly I think that is the most logical solution ^_^ And that is why my sales shall never be down
