Today, after being recently laid off at work due to "cutbacks", I went job searching around town. During my drive, I cruised past my old workplace and saw a "now hiring" sign in their window. FML

Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML

Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML

Today, not even a week after I was laid off from my job, I got a call from my old boss. He offered me a "new" job at the company, which turned out to be just like my old one, but with drastically reduced pay. I'm so broke and desperate that I accepted. FML

Today, I walked into Starbucks for a job application. I asked the manager if they were hiring, as I really need a job. He looked me up and down and replied, "NO!" There was a 'Now hiring' sign in the window. FML

Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML

Today, it's been less than a week since I finally got a job, after over a year of searching. I just found out that there's about to be a wave of layoffs. I haven't even gotten my first paycheck, and already I'm going to lose my job. FML

Pretty sure you can sue for that.

never said suing was the answer but if it was unlawful which does happen then it's a possibility..I think suing is the last resort but if the person was wrongly terminated ESPECIALLY if they are qualified and a good performer within the org then they may have a case. Suing isn't always the answer lol it all depends on the situation. Just stating her legal rights afforded to her..

They may have laid off workers with your skill set and hired other people for a different aspect of the business.

Today, I was feeling bad about my height so my friend decided to tell me that short people don't live so long and are more likely to have more health issues that lead to death. FML

at least they laid you off instead of firing you. on a different note if your laid off that means when they have work available you should be able to come back so... go inside and say alright you found funding... and ask for it back
