Today, while buying paint, I began to help an elderly woman working to lift some heavy boxes. She told me what a nice young lady I was. Then her boss came over, screamed at her for being lazy and fired her. She cried. So did I. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, an old lady came to the bank where I worked at to apply for a loan. She obviously didn't qualify for one as she has no income coming in. She looked so pitiful, so I changed a couple of her information so she could. She reported me and I got fired. FML
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, I was at work as a cashier. An old lady unbagged everything I had, and angrily "taught" me how to bag. She put potatoes on her eggs and broke them. She then screamed that I was useless and retarded in front of all my other customers and manager. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my boss and I dared him to fire me because he has always said he couldn’t run the shop without me. Turns out he was just being nice all this time, my job could in fact be done by his 14 year-old niece with no training in two thirds the time. Yes, he fired me. FML
Today, I was short shifted at work because one of my employees decided not to show up. Furious, I wrote her up and made predetermined judgments about her. When she came in, I went off on her for being absent and leaving me stuck. She then informed me her mom tried to commit suicide. FML
Today, while I was walking home, I noticed an elderly man in a wheel chair trying to paint his garage so I went over to help. His response was verbal abuse and a slap to the face with a wet paint brush. FML
Today, I assisted my first customer at my first job as a Target cashier. When I rang up this lady's items and gave her the total, not only did she hiss at me and spit in my face, but she also dragged my manager over and demanded that he fire me. He did. FML

**** everyone's lives. But really? Just this instance of helping an employee led to said employee's termination? What the serious ****.

If I were you, I would report this to the union where this boss is working for and sue him! You just helping someone an elderly woman who can't lift that well as some of her co-workers...what the hell does that boss expect from her? Do lifts until she broke her back or her hips? Absolutely not! But FYL OP.

then again, and I'm not saying the situation doesn't suck, because it really does.... but don't go and apply for a job you're not capable of. if you're an 80 year old, 100 lb woman and you apply for a job at a hardware or paint store, moving boxes and carrying heavy cans of paint is going to be expected. just like you wouldn't see a body builder working at the Clinique makeup counter giving makeovers, don't set yourself up to be in these situations. I really do feel horrible for both her and op though /: the manager is an ass /:

I really hope this is fake.

That heartless bastard. Why can't someone help someone else without any consequences? Seems like random acts of kindness always go wrong.

And did you even try to talk him out of it?

#145 This is true. But maybe she was working there for a much longer period of time. Like where I work there was an old lady who recently passed away but she worked there since she was young. And one of my managers works there who started working there since high school and now she is married and has a son. But the point being, the boss is a major poopy head.
