Today, I lost my job. Why? Because I'm taking care of my dying mother. My boss actually said, "Well, if she dies today, we can hold your job." FML

Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML

Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML

Today, I busted my ass to help this old lady move her stuff because she was going to a nursing home. I was told I would get paid. When I finished four hours later the lady took me to a room and told me to pick out anything in her little goody bag. I got a race car as payment. FML

Today, I was working when my boss left briefly, leaving me with her elderly, senile mother. Not only did I have to chase her when she ran after a stranger on the road, I turned my back for 5 seconds to do my actual job and she walked off. When my boss returned, I had to tell her I lost her mother. FML

Today, our cleaning lady's son came to our house claiming that his mother had died of a heart attack. We gave him her entire month's salary as well as some extra money. A few hours later, our cleaning lady turned up for work. Turns out she doesn't have a son. FML

It's all too much
Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML

Today, I asked my mother to pay back the $50 she owes me. Rather than paying me back, she raced off to "work". She's been unemployed for 3 years. FML

Poor you. It must suck having to actually HELP people. What a greedy old lady. Dying BEFORE she paid you? The nerve! In all seriousness- YDI, and if there is a Hell, there's definitely a spot reserved fir you.

I'm surprised at all the hate toward OP here. This is not an acquaintance we're talking about, this is her employer. I'm not aware of any obligation to care if your employer dies, nor of any obligation to care more about her welfare than your paycheck. To anyone who says she should not care about the money owed, well, you do it. Go out and work and expect to get paid, and then don't, and see how you feel about it.

Except if they were truly an employee they will get paid from the estate or by family, so this all around is a non-issue. There has to be evidence that they were in fact an employee, probably wouldn't work if this was all under the table work

You're an asshole. Is that all you care about?

I'm finding this hard to comprehend. The majority of you *really* care more about some person dying than getting paid? Really, honestly?
