Today, my boss let me know that I'm being laid off, via a text message that ended in "lmao". FML

I'm sorry but you can no longer be employed here, budget cuts, lmao! -sincerely Op's boss

Your boss is either ignorant or an ass. In either case he should be told about it.

LMAO = Laid My Ass Off You can use it also

There should be a professional way to do that, even though it sucks either way. Send a pic of your dick. Then write his number on bathroom walls.

Get frisky with his wife and send him a picture, add 'lmao'.

What's up with #1? People that can't deviate between mature and immature need to shut their pie hole

Terminating someone by e-mail is unprofessional, doing it by text is downright cowardly. Adding LMAO at the end is way betond stupid and unprofessional. Show the message to employee services or human resources.

Actually, not completely right on the e-mail part. Over here, and I'm pretty sure it's like that in most of the Western world, you have to give said employee written notice. E-mail is legally considered to be written notice these days.

No, it is not, at least in my country. The company has to write a snail mail.

Wow, what a douche nozzle. I agree you should send this to your boss's supervisors so they know just how unprofessional s/he was. If you're going to lay people off, have the guts and the decency to do it in person, not with a text message ending in "lmao".
