Today, I was fired over the phone, losing my only source of income. When asked if I was okay, I explained that although I understood why, I was a little peeved they'd chosen my birthday to deliver the message. My - now former - boss then sang "Happy Birthday" to me in its entirety. FML

Not exactly what one would consider a great birthday present. You could always ask him to buy the drinks you're going to drown your sorrows in, as a proper gift.

Talk about adding insult to injury.

you understood why? so why exactly did you get fired then?

It sounds like it could be due to company downsizing or cuts because OP's boss doesn't seem too critical of OP, seeing as they asked if she was okay.

That would be a lay off then and not a firing.

Took me far too long to work that comment out

Can't you just say that you don't want this present?

Weird, maybe he felt guilty and it was a kind of apologize ..

Sorry OP. Happy birthday. Good luck and hope u find another job soon.

That's the worst gift ever hope it looks up soo

You should give him a kick in the balls and say thank you.
