Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, after a long couple of months working non-stop, I finally got someone to cover my shift. Turns out she was joking, and when I didn't show up for work, I was fired. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, after a month at my new job, my boss fired me because I didn't have enough experience. She hired me with full knowledge of this fact. FML
Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML
Today, after spending 5 years working towards my dream job, getting it, and while in training telling a risqué joke, I got suspended the next day, lost the job, and I'm now in a shitty admin job. FML
Today, I was let go at work. About 2 years ago, we had hired an eager-to-learn "assistant" for me. When they canned me, they let me know that I should've trained him faster so I could've been fired sooner. FML
Today, I got fired. Not because of anything I did, but because my best friend, who'd I'd gotten hired, stood up for herself when both the owner's wife and daughter became disrespectful professionally. She then quit and got a job with a competitor. They started looking at her LinkedIn. Two weeks later, I get canned. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a vile bitch. Gather as much evidence as possible and take this shit straight to the higher ups.

This surpasses shitty, it's vicious. I agree with #2, gather evidence and sue them for workplace sabotage, those scum deserve the worst punishment they can get.

Well at least you have been trained to do something.
Tyrez 32
Yeah, now OP knows how NOT to do something.
JocelynKaulitz 28
Something that won't help with op's dream job.

Classic example of a fresh FML and needing to think of a comment quickly so it'll be posted as the first one, because that's something people care about these days for whatever reason.

That's pretty messed up. I agree with #2; you should definitely talk to the big bosses about this.
dannnngthatsux 19
Little late. Best thing to do, find better job call her up and thank her.
MegasaurusRex89 28
I'm sure if you have proof the bosses or HR can do something about it. Hope everything turns out for the better on way or another!

Actually, I'm not even mad. That's amazing! To put such a plan into reality... Every company wishes such coherence within their staff.
iiTzNeeNerz 26
& you're also not the one who lost his job over this "amazing" plan.
pradip 26
I second your thought, given its OP's dream job, training him to do it wrong without him knowing that, takes lot of courage.

Complimenting horrible people? What is wrong with this picture?

Like seriously, that is pretty ****** genius, but it's wrong

That has to be against the rules. Talk to HR or sue against her.
MrPotatoFace 9
what "rules". this isn't Minecraft, mate. They can sue, but there are no " rules"
mds9986 24
There has to be more than one company hiring for your dream job, no?
SlumMade 13
That's not the point
Crossing 17
I'm assuming that if he gets fired from on company others will be hesitant to hire him for the same position.

Maybe OP can get all of them fired and be the only one working there.
jerryj 27
Or better yet, he can set all of them on fire and be the only one working there.
hardcorefan16 22
Why are people up there^ think that this is a good thing. That women should have not done that. Especially the coworkers knew too? That really isn't right!

Don't they have to legally keep her job open anyway? So like you can be a maternity temp and finish when she's back. They can't fire you to bring her back it's unfair dismissal
luther48 20
In the US you could take FMLA where they have to hold A spot open. They can't fire the gal on maternity, but they don't have to give her the same spot when she returns
dannnngthatsux 19
11 All they have to do is produce paperwork that shows you can't do your job...No rights then. Buy a bottle of liquid ass on Amazon. Spill it on her car. I would do the vents and window jamb. Maybe door handle. New mom's are very smell conscious.
WinterChild 20
They have to take her back after maternity leave do they not?
tranced_ 45
Yeah I thought of the same thing but I guess she was worried he might replace her when she got back.
DoomedGemini 38
While it doesn't change that this was terrible to do, I've heard of some places trying to weasel around and find a way for making it look justified to fire a woman going on/on maternity leave
InfiniteSunshine 32
I don't know exactly how it works in the US, but here in Canada they are required to take you back. However, that doesn't mean they have to hold your exact same position/job for you, it just means they have to hold some type of position for you at the company, and this could mean even coming back to a total change or demotion in your job. For example a colleague of my dad's came back from maternity leave to discover her job was now in the finance department, instead of her original IT position. This can really screw people over sometimes.
This_Clumsy_Life 3
No, that is NOT the law in Canada. They can give you a different position but it has to be Substantially Equivalent to your old position. IT to finance would not be ok, even the same position but a drastic change in the schedule would not be lawful.
InfiniteSunshine 32
No, sorry you're wrong. I not only study this, but also know people with first hand experience with this issue. Employers have to give you what is called a "comparable position" which is subject to interpretation. As long as they have the same location, wage, and benefits, this can be considered a comparable position. It is also lawful for an employee to have/receive a dock in pay when they come back as long as it falls under a "reorganization plan."

@#29 you are correct. I had a miscarriage and was fired the moment I returned from sick leave. They said they were merging my position with another that required a higher degree than mine. Yet once I was gone, they "said" they couldnt find anyone to fit the bill and hired someone with no degree at all doing my exact same job. Basically I was fired so they wouldn't have to worry about me getting pregnant again. Without proof I couldnt do a damn thing about it.
This_Clumsy_Life 3
#58 sorry to press on about this but perhaps your provincial laws are more lax because I recently finished a case on this and such changes/demotions were not permitted. There is always room for interpretation in the law (that's what makes it fun!) but this area can be straightforward if the right steps are taken (and the right lawyer consulted:)) Yes, restructuring does allows for a different test but that wasn't the issue being discussed. Enjoy your studies while they last!

Yep this happened to me when I returned from maternity leave. I was demoted and got a pay cut when I told them I couldn't work the full 40 hours anymore. Its bull because I worked hard for 5 years for what I made, and $1.25 was taken away just like that, when I needed it most. they really need to update the laws to protect working mothers, so they don't have to pull shady stuff like this.
