Today, I was fired from my job as a waitress, all because someone complained there was too much seasoning in their food. As I said, I'm a waitress. This happened the same week I was hired. FML

Today, after 8 months of being belittled and treated like trash at my job as a prep cook in a high-end kitchen, I stood up for myself to the line cooks. Not only did everyone laugh at me, I got fired for causing a scene during service and insubordination. FML

Catch 22

Today I was fired from my job. They fired me because they couldn't work around my college schedule. The only reason they hired me was because they were looking for college students and without a job I can't go back to school. FML

Today, I was preparing a customer's meal in my restaurant's kitchen, when I choked on my own saliva and went into a coughing fit. The head chef, who's always hated my guts, accused me of trying to hock a loogie into the meal and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I was training for my new job at a restaurant. As part of training, they give you free food so you know what to recommend, and the dish I got was really good. Eight hours later I saw it again while I was puking. I got food poisoning from my own workplace. FML

Today, I got fired from my job as a seafood manager because an entire wedding group came in and started yelling at me, saying the shrimp was horrible and I ruined their wedding. They showed me the leftovers; they never cooked them. They fed raw shrimp at a wedding dinner party. FML

Time to call up the local health and safety department. You'd also probably get to sue them for wrongful termination.

i would contact osha.. if you mentioned the unsafe conditions.. you can contact them.. and they will help you with that problem.. it will take time.. but will be worth it in the end.. If you hadn't already known before.. contact osha first! before telling your boss.. that way you have documentation of it.. good luck jas (by the way.. this information is on the minimum wage chart that every business is required to have.._

Guess what? This is lawsuit worthy. They cannot fire you for pointing out illegal acts. This is your chance: SUE THEM FOR EVERYTHING THEY HAVE!

Isn't that just the typical world today: you get screwed because you're doing the right thing.

Yep. You definately need to go to the environmental health authority. They screw you unfairly...the least you can do is screw them fairly. =]

This is CLEARLY illegal. This is only an FML if you do nothing and whine about it, because you hold all the power.

sounds like wen I did placement in an aged care facility for my nursing course. I told one of the carers that a resident had an irregular heartbeat in strength and rate. she then dispised all of us students. however the owner of the place (who is a registered nurse), was extremely unimpressed.

Today, I hit a dead deer that had been left in the middle of the road. My car started to make a funny noise and smell, so I pulled over to check it, thinking I blew the tire on some antlers. The deer had got stuck in my front wheel, and I'd dragged it more than a mile. And it wasn't actually dead. FML
