Today, I marched into my workplace yelling "take this job and shove it", under the impression I would be on a flight in a few days out of here. However, the airline has informed me I cannot fly until April because cargo is too cold for my dog this time of year. Jobless, four weeks to wait. FML

Today, I work in aircraft ground handling. My employer is short-staffed and told us to stop even trying to load people’s luggage onto the plane with them, and to just throw it on a huge heap in the basement and sort it all out in a few months when things are less busy. FML

Today, after moving 1,400 miles across the country, quitting my full-time job, and selling most of my furniture to attend flight school, I got a call a month before my start date saying that they are closing my location. FML

Late late flight

Today, I was waiting at the airport for a flight when I looked down and realised that I had booked the wrong date. Frantically, I tried to rebook the flight, but it was completely sold out. Now, I'm stuck in the airport for the next 24 hours with nothing to do. FML

Today, I handed my boss my 2 weeks' notice. 20 minutes later, I was doing my work alone in the very cold basement of the building. My boss claimed it was a routine relocation planned months in advance. It's going to be a long 2 weeks. FML

Today, after being jobless for 2 years, I got a call back for an interview. I was ecstatic until I saw the date. It's the same day I leave for a weeklong, nonrefundable vacation. I applied for the job 6 weeks ago, and since not hearing anything bought the vacation 2 weeks ago. FML

Today, I accepted a great job offer I've been working months to earn so I can continue to live with my fiancé here in Poland. I just found out that my work visa was denied. Now I have to fly home to Canada and reapply before coming back. This takes a month. My new job starts tomorrow. FML

Today, our airplane was delayed because of issues with the de-ice-ing. Then, because it had too little fuel. Then, because of engine troubles. Then, because our first officer needed to be replaced due to legal restrictions on pilots' hours. Now, I get to go straight from the plane to work. FML

Today, after spending 2 years saving for my flights, I was denied boarding due to issues with my passport. I heading straight to the embassy only to be told a replacement will take 8 days. The airline will only hold my place for 7. FML

Today, I was at work at the airport. I got called up to a plane's cargo hold, and thought I'd finally learn how to use the loader. Turns out they just needed me to weigh something down, effectively making me ballast. Then my boss told me to get the hell off, after which I hit my head hard climbing out. FML

Why the hell would you ever want to leave under bad pretenses? I always try to leave my former employers on great terms so that I can still use them as references later on.

OP, YDI. I recently traveled halfway across the world with my dog, and I made sure to make arrangements with the airline for my dog WELL before departure date. You would have known that there are only certain times of the year when dogs are allowed in the cargo area if you would have made reservations for the dog earlier. Why did you leave this to the last few days before leaving?

Yeah, Human Resources has to take the call, and they are simply allowed to verify that you were employed or if you are eligible for rehire. (They can't even say if they WOULD hire you, just if you're eligible, a.k.a if you were fired) At least those are the laws for the United States. It could be different in Canada. What you can't do, is use your manager as a professional reference. OP was beyond unprofessional.

Kind of reminds me of the video in which the guy thinks he won the lottery and he basically ruins his entire life by telling his girlfriend he was cheating on her, cursing out his boss, etc. etc. etc. Karma is indeed a bitch!

That's what you get for having a damn DOG! Jesus Christ, just fly away and leave the stupid thing behind. Your life/career is more important than a f***ing DOG. Idiot.

I hope you get attacked by a pack of wolves. I'd say a dog but then it'd get put down for biting scum like you. So wolves work better. Plus, rabbies.

Only a five year-old would do something similar to this... Dogs may be "lifetime commitments," but only until the owner is either unable to take care of them, the dog dies, or said owner loses their job.
