Free labor

By mannnnn - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

Today, I went into work to change a shift I was unable to work. I phoned the first person on the employee sheet and they promptly answer by saying, "You still work here? I thought the manager fired you." I was fired last week and have been showing up for shifts without anybody noticing. FML

Perhaps you changed too many shifts you couldn't work and decided your own fate.

well.... if your doing your job so badly that no one notices that you're there for a full week, maybe that would explain why you were fired.

god republicans are so stupid. obama needs to make it illegal to fire people, like most union/government jobs are like. that will solve the economy bc no one will be unemployed! if the company fires someone, then the CEO goes to jail. why is governmet doing so well? it's bc u can't fire ppl here, Christ it's so simple. republicans are dumb

Proud_Liberal, you are an imbecile. I am ashamed to admit that I am a fellow liberal because of what you just said. Your comment is the biggest pile of rubbish I've heard in about a month. Government bureaucracy isn't nearly as efficient as it could be, because of how difficult it is to fire incompetent employees. I can give you PLENTY of real-world examples if you want, but I think just mentioning USPS is enough for now. And people can be fired, even if they're in a union. Get your facts straight.

now, 38 im going to correct you as nicely as I can *types with growing intensity* yeah and if there was such a law then everyone would be like "ohh I can't get fired im just not gonna work and go on FML all day" Ever seen office space?? "people work only hard enough not to get fired, Bob" and if they couldn't then they wouldn't work at all and even if that didn't happen for some unrealistic reason, then would you rather a huge corperation go bankrupt and 5 million people lose their job instead of 5,000? but youre thinking "ohh well, we'll just have the government bail them out so out children and grand children will pay for it" -- ohh no you don't cuz it's their lifes who are f**ked not this OP (no offence OP but in the big picture you'll be fine) unemployment numbers are not the only basis of how well the econimy is doing and the government is not "doing so well" We're in like 11.5 trillion dollars in debt, thats 11,500,000,000,000 (and I rounded DOWN 27 billion dollars) and growing I already owe $38,000 in taxes because of government spending go to http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ and to make you feel even more retarded, Im 15 yrs and have never taken an economics class good day sir I'm going to eat breakfast now

#43 I agree completely, but just want to add that by making it illegal to fire people, companies would have to find ways to pay for employees they couldn't afford (My work just lost 4 employees from maternity leave, 1 from quitting, and one from going back to school and my boss never hired people to replace them as we don't have the money to). The CEOs COULD afford to give up some of their huge bonuses, but they will never agree to that since they're all so selfish =)

The OP doesn't say they were unaware that they had been fired. I read this as them turning up anyway, but no one noticed. I was wondering who the **** would do that! I realise that the problem was most probably that they hadn't been told. It's just funny the way it's been written.
