Today, I was sitting in my car waiting my shift to start. I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to a call from my boss firing me. I was in the parking lot. FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML

Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Today, when I got to work, I found out that I was being laid off. Two hours later, I found out my boss had my name on the wrong list. I was elated. I went to lunch, but on the way back was rear-ended, in the rain. I was an hour and a half late getting back to work. I was fired upon returning. FML

Today, I accidentally fell asleep at work after working a 12-hour shift. Instead of waking me up, my coworkers spiked my coffee mug with whiskey and told my boss I was drunk. My boss wouldn't even listen to my side of the story and fired me. FML

Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML

Today, I was running late for work. I was trying to find my car keys, then realized I'd left them in my boyfriend's car. My phone charger was locked in my car, and my phone was dead. I couldn’t get hold of my boss and explain what had happened. I’m fired, aren’t I? FML

Today, I was fired for falling asleep at work. I’m still not sure how I fell asleep, seeing as I’m a stocker and I was actively putting cans on the shelf when it happened. FML

That's too bad. Should have just gone into work as soon as you got there. Entirely your fault. Sorry to say. :)

Am I the only one who was thinking of "Hypnotize" after reading that first sentence? Anyways, what helps is setting a timer for yourself next time it happens. "I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl..."

wow, surely you should have had some sort of warning? if im late i get a phonecall asking where i am. sacking on the spot seems a bit harsh especially if this was OPs first offense

So it's a better time than ever before to take inventory of your career and discover your REAL mission in work. Short of sickness or extreme stress, I don't see how you could do such a thing as this when you're doing the work you're meant for.

I'm a boss and generally I do give my employees three chances but in this circumstance I too would have fired you on the spot - it's your responsibility to get the sleep you need BEFORE showing up for work.

They're supposed to give warnings, written reprimands then you get fired... Ditch the 'joe jobs' and having to deal with power tripping retard bosses....
