Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML

Unexpected

Today, I quit my job that my girlfriend and I worked together at. Fellow employees are not allowed to date one another and I said it would be ok if I was the one to leave. When I got home to her and told her that I quit, she decided to break up with me. I now have no job and no girlfriend. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, my boss broke off our relationship because he said it's inappropriate. I really liked him, but I accepted it and respected his integrity. A few hours later, I found out he's now dating my colleague. FML

Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML

Today, my boss fired me because his girlfriend wanted the job I had. She has no experience whatsoever in my line of work, it was just his "anniversary present" for her. FML

Never the twain

Today, after “talking” and flirting with my team lead for a few months, we started dating and I quit my job, which I really liked, and started working somewhere I didn’t just so we could be together. Now, two weeks after quitting, she breaks up with me. FML

Today, I was terminated from my job. This comes after I sent HR an email about an inappropriate relationship between my manager and a counselor. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut. 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

Now you know never to date a coworker, much less a subordinate. If you manage to find another job in this economy, think with your head, not your dick.

Brought it on yourself, even if that girl wasn't worth giving the time of day.

Did any of that surprise you? Do you think it wasn't fair? I don't get it. This is like, I drove my car into an underpass pillar to see what would happen. My car got totaled and I broke a few bones. WTF were you expecting to happen???

#10, it clearly says his girlfriend was the co-worker he got fired for dating.

She didn't even give you a chance to get a new job? Sounds like she is either really stupid or was looking for an excuse.

It sounds like somebody filed a complaint of "quid pro quo" harassment against you. Look it up, or better yet get an attorney to look into it. Next, you may have a claim against your employer. The 300 character description here is limited, but you may have some sort of retaliation / unlawful termination sort of claim. Really, talk to an attorney who works in employment law. Laws vary depending on where you live... (Not a legal advice, not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV either) Your "girlfriend" sounds like somebody you do not want in your life, at all.
