Bitch move

By Anonymous - 14/12/2011 16:53 - United Kingdom

Today, after returning to the UK from my Australian holiday, I was fired from my job for no reason. My boss told me he'd waited till I'd returned to do it. I could have stayed in Australia with my mates traveling for a year if I had been fired before I left. I'm sure he did it on purpose. FML

Might I suggest a working berth on a cruise ship? For 8 hours work a day they will take you back to your mates with a story to tell and cash in your pocket.

Of all the "douche boss" FMLs I have read, this boss is the biggest douche of them all as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe the boss thought that he didn't want to ruin your holiday by firing you

Maybe not ruin but I had a nice boss who waited till immediately after a girl's honeymoon to fire her. Sounds cruel but she was a shit employee and he couldn't delay firing her much longer (bosses have bosses, too). He waited because the job doesn't pay holiday time to people fired for cause. If he'd done it before she left, that would've been two extra weeks of no pay for her. Always remember there is a flip side to every story.

There had to have been a reason...not neccessarily because of something you did, but there's obviously some reason he's not telling you

Maybe he waited until you got back because he didn't want to be a dick and fire you over text or over the phone. Ever think of that? Or were you to busy making yourself look like a victim to use your brain for a change and realise he obviously had a reason to fire you.

Exactly. There is always a reason, the problem is that too many people are either too stupid or too self absorbed to see it.

You should have invited him to Australia. You could have had some employee-boss bonding time riding on the back of kangaroos together across the outback.

That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.. Sorry but there is obviously no logic behind that one!

And there is no logic as to why you're being such a douche bag/asshole :)

She's a dumb **** who comments on every FML trying in vain to stave off both humor and practical knowledge. In short, this blonde, smiling *thing* is a troll that doesn't know it's a troll. I think it believes it's the sole voice of reason here. Fancy that.

Sure. You could have "spent a year" there "traveling". Because the unemployed make so much money, they don't need to work! I'm sure you would not have run out of money and had to live on your friends sofa for a year. They would not mind that at all! Eat their food too - in Australia food is free anyway! And if you were planning to get work there for this year, just fly back and get the job - then problem solved...

It's called a working holiday, dumbass... you stay in a place for awhile, do temporary work and then move on. you're traveling and working, thus paying for your own shit.

I'll type this slower, so even you can understand what I said. THIS CHANGES NOTHING. Go back with the money you have left and gave your working holiday. With no "real" job you are free. You can have the year long working holiday adventure. Get it now?

reason or not does not matter. Unless you can prove some kind of discrimination employers can fire you at anytime. like most people on here already if you have money to travel for a year i really dont feel to sorry for you. most of us now days are scrimping and saving just to feed our families and keep the utilities turned on with no extra money for something as simple as going to a movie.
