Work: You must be kidding

You must be kidding

By work hard - 07/11/2016 12:38 - Canada - Petawawa

Today, I went into work thinking it was my last day before I start my new job, as my 2-week notice said to the managers that I can't work after today. None of them believed that I was actually capable of getting a better job and thought my 2-week notice was a joke. FML

Work sucks, I know

Today, it was my last day at work. I was offered a better job and accepted. Not wanting to leave my present boss hanging, I asked for time to give notice. While I trained my replacement, the owner at the new job had time to think about how slow the season is, and he decided not to fill the position. FML

Today, it was the first day of my new job. It was also the last day of my new job. I got a call immediately after finishing my shift to be told the company has "decided to go in a different direction" and will no longer be needing my services. FML

Today, it was my last day at my job. My team made a little party for me so they could wish me well and say goodbye, but when it came time for my manager to give a little speech, she couldn't even remember my name. I've been working there for two years. FML

Office life sucks

Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML

Hello, Goodbye

By Anonymous - 01/12/2020 22:02 - United Kingdom - Isleworth

Today, I left my job, fulfilling my one month's notice after receiving a job offer from a much better-paying role. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the building. Not two minutes later, the company who was offering the new job called to say they'd changed their minds, and there was now no longer a job on offer. FML

By mannnnn - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

Today, I went into work to change a shift I was unable to work. I phoned the first person on the employee sheet and they promptly answer by saying, "You still work here? I thought the manager fired you." I was fired last week and have been showing up for shifts without anybody noticing. FML

Today, whilst in the last week of my notice period, I was instructed by my boss to tell six new employees that their jobs had fallen through before they'd even started. Later that afternoon, I received a call from my line manager. Guess whose own job has fallen through too. FML

Today, I got a new job and told everyone about it. A few hours later, I got an email from the executive saying I actually don't have the job anymore. FML

Today, I put in my two-week notice. My boss responded by saying, "Okie dokie" and hanging up. Guess they were glad to be rid of me. FML

Today, I was offered my dream job. When I gave my current employer my 2+ weeks notice so they'd have time to find a replacement, I was told to pack up and leave immediately. Now I'm out a month's pay because I gave notice instead of just leaving. FML

And that's when you moon-walk out the door while giving them a parting wave in the form of a one-finger salute.

I also imagine OP doing a spin and magically being in Michael Jackson clothes, placing a hat on their head, and then moon - walking out.

That's not your fault, they're either too cocky or just idiotic to think you'd joke about quitting

Well, now you'll know for future reference: don't resign in full clown makeup. The five minute shtick about airplane food didn't help either.

You said you were "thinking" it was your last day there, which makes me worry that you're going to let them bully you into staying... Forget that. You gave the notice, they chose to ignore it. Their problem. Enjoy your new job and don't look back!

Who cares what they think. Just do your job and go out with your head held high at the end of the day. Whatever you do, make sure not to burn any bridges. Never burn bridges with your past employers.

Don't let them bully you into staying beyond the promised 2 weeks though. Even if that means they're angry and consider it a burned bridge.

F their lives, actually. They're standing around looking like a bunch of dicks while you have a new job. Congratulations!

Why is this an FML? That they didn't believe you is not your problem. You still have the new job, right? You gave your notice so you owe them nothing more. There is no reason for this to be an FML for you. It may be for your old managers.
