Today, my boss reprimanded me in front of the rest of the staff for "not following instructions" because I went to a company meeting. I have the email from him telling me to go to the meeting. He thinks I faked it. Unemployment sucks. FML

Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Today, my boss gave me a lecture accompanied with a formal warning because I failed to take notes during a client meeting. I was never at this client meeting, in fact, I had a call with another client at the same time. Regardless, he insists I was there and refuses to listen to reason. FML

Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML

Today, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. FML

Today, I got fired for following my work directions. I found out when I tried to badge into work, and paid $40 for a ride home. There also was an argument with my supervisors because I actually follow the directions correctly and knew what they meant. I'm temp to hire so there's no recourse for me. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Today, I walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". FML

Yeah, unemployment sucks. You know what sucks more? Having a disgruntled former employee post your information on an adult male services website. You're welcome.

I'm a boss - what your boss did is disgusting and should never happen , when an employee is being reprimanded it should be done in private . Although I'm not familiar with the laws of your state I think you probably have a very good case for wrongful termination - i know If I did that I would have my ass sued off.

Did you show him the email!? Such a dim-witted person should not hold the title of "boss"

If there is one, go to the IT department and have them show that the email was sent from him and delivered to you....

You can sue for wrongful termination.

Take the IT evidence mentioned a few comments up, then can you say wrongful termination lawsuit! Sounds like a slam dunk to me.

Did you show him the email then? If you did then he has no right to fire you and you can report him for it.
