Today, I got laid off from work. I was being escorted to the elevator when another coworker stepped inside. He said, "How goes it?" I said, "It goes." Then he said, "At least we have a job." FML

Today, I stopped to talk to a depressed-looking coworker in the elevator. I tried to cheer him up by saying, "At least we still have a job, right?" Turns out he just got laid off. FML

Today, I was having another hard day at work. I stepped in an elevator to go to lunch, when another co-worker stepped in. I asked him,"How goes it?" He answered,"It goes." I tried to be nice, telling him that at least we had jobs. He told me he was laid off. FML

"today well waiting in the elevator i attempted to cheer up a girl who looked sad, she then proceeded to kick me in the balls, it was after i said "at least we have a job" turns out she just got laid off FML"

This is a VERY bad translation from French. Whoever did this, either doesn't speak english, or it's a ripoff from the French FML.

You're not alone, if he knows about FML, he'd be writing one when he found out you'd been laid off. As in "Today, trying to be positive, I told my co-worker 'at least we have a job.' He'd been laid off. FML."

not really going. More like going, going, GONE.

I think that guy also posted an fml after realizing you'd been laid off. i'll look for it and post the link if i can find it

oh my god, some ppl to be silly speak like that. I've said "how goes it" to a colleague that I used to chat with in the lift, I've also used "how is you" it's bad English.. on purpose
