Today, I got a call from my manager saying that I won't need to work this weekend. Too bad I already cancelled a family vacation because he threatened to fire me if I didn't work this weekend. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, my manager called me to demand I come in to fix his computer, unpaid of course, since I have no overtime rate, then threatened to fire me when I said, "No chance." I’m 1000 miles away on my honeymoon and he knows this, since he granted my holiday request and congratulated me on the wedding. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could take a vacation day for my birthday on Monday. She called to tell me yes, and then told me I'm getting laid off. FML
Today, I called out "for personal reasons" from work because I had to study for a major test that's taking place tomorrow. An hour later, my manager called to fire me for "not taking work seriously." I then got an email telling me that the test was being postponed. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I could work this weekend, doing the work of 2 people, for almost no extra pay. I had a weekend out with my kids planned, so I said I couldn't. My boss called it a shitty excuse, yet gave a free pass to a guy who claimed he had a "phobia of working on weekends". FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, while on holiday. I got a call to let me know my job will be gone away when I return. FML
Today, I asked my bosses for three weeks off in July to go on a much-needed vacation. Their response was to fire me on the spot. My bosses are my aunt and uncle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure you can't plan a 'spontaneous vacation'.. If its planned it isn't spontaneous! Lol
Bluekaren16 19
Well to his family it can be spontaneous. He can be like kids forget about our little planned family vacation, lets go to disneyland instead!
lonkite101 14
Or just go on a day trip! Pack a lunch, and explore with your family! You could find something new! Or go to the beach, thats always fun! See, you don't have to plan things way in advance to have fun. Enjoy yourself OP!

The manager sounds as of you demand for something he'll fire you, or take away your vacation time.
doctorhook86 25
This manager sounds like the kind the OP should quit and move away from ASAP. As a "pizza guy" he hopefully shouldn't have much difficulty finding someplace else similar to work.

Sorry 47, autocorrect changed it.
XTheDesertSongX 17
Honestly, that's terrible, OP... I'm truly sorry.
KrazieKleo 13
Why are you sorry? Did you take ops shift so he can't work this weekend or something???
ManInTheMachine 20
12-Don't mean to sound like a dick, but WE KNOW it's terrible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen an FML with a happy ending. Comments like 3's are almost as bad as 'It could've been worse.. *insert some asenine situation*.'
pokefan813 16
18 - it could've been worse. He could've used one of those comments with a terrible, overused pun. ;)

Pokefan, I don't think Ash Katchum has ever looked so sexy.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
...am I the only one who has had a crush on Ash before? Then again, I have lots of cartoon crushes.
HollyDolly660 8
I always had a thing for Brock.
tennisrapper1 14
Speaking of cartoon characters, when I was a lot younger (9 years ago to be exact) I had a kiddie crush on leela from futurama.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
I still have a crush on Alvin from the 80's chipmunks.

Why did 18 get downvoted? It is completely pointless to make an incoherent comment like 3's. 3 was obviously in a race for number 1 comment because he made a comment that looked like it was shaped out of diarrhea in 15 seconds because it was. I mean theres no need to say sorry, the stories always gonna suck, sense it is on FML.Three, please be more original with your comments, and first comment means nothing.

Go rent a movie and have family game night then!
SkoomaKi 28
A family ruining game of monopoly, perhaps?
lonkite101 14
4, might I suggest the movie: anger management! One of my favorite comedies.
p3mguin 7
A good classic is : Rubber~very good movie
krewer21 1
Family game night sounds good! Good idea!
A7XCamaro 19
43- There really isn't a movie better than Rubber, you do need to make sure and catch the beginning though otherwise it'll just be like "What the hell is going on here?"

That's a job for ya. They don't care about your life outside of work. I'd be pretty damn pissed off about that though, especially since they threatened to fire you.
lonkite101 14
6, well see the only reason his manager did that was because it didn't effect him. If it did effect him, he wouldn't have done that.

Your manager's a dick. Just sayin'.

I use to have a boss like that when I cleaned my neighbor's house. Finally I hot pissed and superglued a 10 inch ***** onto the hood of her car. I was fired, obviously, but it was worth it to get my point across. As a bonus, the heat made it harder to get off without screwing up the paint job, so I got to see her pull in her driveway everyday for 2 weeks with a fake purple dick wobbling on her hood.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
Got pissed*

A hot piss would have been better...

Bam! A wild family vacation appeared. Is your boss Michael Scott? Because this sounds like something he would do ;).
brandon3747 16
What a douchebag it seems as if some bosses like to destroy people's life
btstig 11
1) kick bosses ass. 2) steal bosses wallet. 3) use bosses credit cards for expensive trip to Chuckie Cheese and mall and shit. 4) burn his house down 5) Laugh
MURIKKA 11
6) Go to jail 7) Get raped 8) Cry
CallMeMcFeelii 14
That's a bit extreme..but I like your style haha.
lonkite101 14
1) change his will so everything will go to you 2) make him *mysteriously* disappear. 3) take over his job as manager now that he's dead. 4) go on that vacation you wanted!
SqueakyChipmunk 22
**** Chuckie Cheese, let's go to Main Event! LASER TAG AND DDR FTW!!!

Got to love your boss. Not!
