Today, I received a mass email from my boss saying we had a position open at the daycare I work at. I knew my boyfriend was looking for a job so I insisted he apply. Later at work, my boss takes me into her office and tells me my employment is being "terminated". My boyfriend is replacing me. FML

Today, my boyfriend was fired. After breaking the news, he also broke up with me. Apparently, his boss had a creepy crush on me and would give my boyfriend bonuses for bringing me to company events and, occasionally, out on the boss's personal boat. Looks like I am no longer useful. FML

Today, my boss had to leave the house for a little while. She asked me to take any messages she got. I answered the phone and lady calling said she was returning her call about the opening for a nanny position. I'm the current nanny. I found out I'm being fired by the new nanny. FML

Today, my girlfriend came to my workplace to tell me she was breaking up with me. My boss, who was passing by, fired me for "chatting with friends" during work hours. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. My boss called me into her office and congratulated me, and spent almost half an hour asking me what our wedding plans were, where we might honeymoon, if we wanted kids, etc. She then followed this by suddenly remembering she had called me into the office to sack me.

Today, I was fired from my job. The reason? My boss didn't feel comfortable paying his son's girlfriend. FML

Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Hey, at least the income will still be coming in to one of you, instead of to a complete stranger. You would've been fired no matter what, better it be your boyfriend replacing you.

Well now it's your turn to just sit on the couch all day and play xbox, while HE is paying rent and working.

#5, that's stupid... she wanted to help her man find a job, and it's not like she KNEW it was actually her job. That sucks D: hopefully you find something else that is even better!

It's actually better that way. A relationship lives from the fact, that people don't know everything about each other. The less you see him over the day the better will it be.

Your boyfriend now has an income, and you can college unemployment! Not all bad!

And he's taking the job? Ha. He must feel like crap. You should totally rub it in. If he asks you to cook and clean like the others mentioned, just tell him you're too depressed because he stole your job. He'll feel so bad that he'll earn all the money AND do the housework. Your new job is to milk this for as long as possible. Oh, and get fat. You MUST get fat.
