Management, Coworkers and Work: Fun, relaxed

Fun, relaxed

By Welp - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - Romania

Today, I found out that my company used a nice photo of my coworkers and me for their corporate website, in efforts to make their office seem fun and relaxed. This wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't just fired every single person in the photo, myself included. FML

Today, at work one of my co-worker was oddly nice to me; and my boss, who usually always says hi to me, didn't look or speak to me. Later that day I found out that I was going to be fired, not because my boss told me but because my picture was missing from the wall of employees. FML

Today, I got a screenshot from my former supervisor's Instagram that stated, "Finally, I'm rid of these morons at my work." That's how I found out me and other workmates had been laid off. FML

Today, I was doing a presentation in front of my boss. On the last slide, someone had put a picture of a man's cock. I later found out it was my boss who did it. It was his "good reason" to fire me. FML

Today, I found out my boss and some employees on my floor have bets placed on who can get the best picture of my ass. I found out when one of the pictures was accidentally sent to me. FML

That backfired

Today, I was fired for telling a customer's kid to shut his mouth. As revenge, I sent the CEO a picture I acquired months ago of my boss drunkenly pissing on a cow. He wrote that it was the funniest thing he had ever seen, and that I am "clearly an insufferable killjoy; a total liability to the company." FML

Today, at work, I accidentally walked into a meeting at which the whole company was there but me. The meeting was about how they could legally fire me while paying as little severance as possible. I'm the CEO and the founder of the company. FML

Today, the company I was fired from three years ago merged with the company I work at now. The new owners' first order of business was to fire me again. FML

Today, I found out that my company was throwing a work picnic. When i showed up, I realized that it had been planned months ago and I wasn't supposed to find out. The entire restaurant was there greeting me with faces of utter shock. Nothing says 'you suck' more than being 'that guy' at your job. FML

Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML

Sue them for the use of the photo without your permission.

Hello, it is OP. In this case, the timing is just very bad. We agreed to let people take photos of us a long time ago (months ago), and the office just fired a bunch of people recently due to budget cuts. It took forever for the office to put photos on their website, and they just picked a nice photo for it that happens to show a bunch of people that now do not work there anymore...

Well now you know. "Smile for the picture" "No, smiling means we're having fun, fun means we aren't working, not working means we'll be fired. No smiling at work!"

Get all the people from the photo together and do a re-enactment, but this time nobody smiles and everyone holds signs 'fired'. It will go viral for sure. Caption: Reality and fiction, with the companies name underneath.

Apparently that company doesn't care about turnover rate. Sad...

Unless you signed a contract to work there giving them the right to use your likeness then they are alooking at a serious lawsuit. Using your likeness without permission is illegal as hell just ask Crispin Glover.
