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, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML

Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML

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

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

Today, I got fired from my job. My boss is my brother. His reason being that, "it would create awkward tension between us." I've been working for him for 5 years, and it's like he's only just realised that I was there. FML

Today, my son was fired from his new job, which was going to support us since I recently lost mine. His excuse was, "Conflict of interest." He was a mascot for a fast-food restaurant and refused to dance around. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? My boss didn't like that my manager and I are friends outside of work, and he thinks we are sleeping together. She's gay and I live with my boyfriend of 5 years. He blamed it on me wearing the wrong shoes 3 weeks ago. FML

"Wrongful termination" usually applies only when some federal anti-discrimination law has been broken. Your boss can fire you if they don't like you; the boss can't fire you if they don't like you because you're (black, gay, female, veteran). It also generally exists only where there is an employment contract, union or collective bargaining agreement, or the government. Most work is "at will" meaning the employee or employer can end the relationship at any time without reason. Family businessses are crazy hotbeds of love, work, and favoritism. Girlfriend/boyfriend employees are usually bad news in a family business - they expect to have the same protection and say in the business as wives/husbands/brothers sisters. Hell, every son-in-law knows you're never fully trusted!

You had it coming, don't date co-workers, supervisors or their family. when you get older you will learn this much quicker or lose your job much quicker.

why don't you sue him? it's not like he's paying you to be his son's girlfriend, he's paying you to work for him, right?

I don't think you should sue, because how awkward would that be, that you're suing your boyfriend's father? I'd say talk to your boyfriend about it. Maybe he can convince his dad to give you your job back.
