Today, my lazy manager, who blatantly spreads vicious rumors about employees, one which has ruined a marriage, has started targeting me because her lazy daughter was legally fired. Now I'm known around the office as "the whore who slept her way up the corporate ladder." FML

Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML

Today, my mother, who insists on sticking her nose into every aspect of my life, found out I'm only "middle management" and called my boss to criticize her for undervaluing me, demanding I be promoted immediately. I'm now the laughing stock of my office. FML

Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML

Today, my extremely lazy colleague received a promotion with benefits, while I was fired for "not being a team-player". I had stayed quiet about her constant negative behaviour because my supervisor said we needed to "have each other's backs". While I was protecting hers, she put a knife in mine. FML

Today, I found out that a new coworker was spreading false rumours about me. I confronted her. and she basically ran to management and said I intimidated her even though other colleagues discredited her claims. She now continues spreading the rumours with her fake intimidation charges on top of it all. FML

Black balled

Today, my wife somehow found out that my "surprise bonus" from earlier this year was actually hush money from my boss to keep quiet about her affair. Rather than let a good thing alone, she threw a fit and called my boss's husband. Now I'm jobless, and my boss has sworn I'll never work in my industry again. FML

Today, I found out why my District Manager won't promote me to store manager; his wife thinks he's having an affair with me. If he promotes me, she will take that as evidence of the affair, and then will threaten to divorce him. FML

Today, my spineless shitwhip of a boss made me go fire a notoriously abusive employee. I had to act like firing him was my decision, even though I'm the secretary. Now I get to live in constant fear that the guy was serious when he threatened to find out where I live and kill me. FML

That's awful of her to say to you, could you report her to someone? I know she's your boss, but she must have a boss also..?

No, report her and the "mysterious person" who busted her car windows, slashed her tires and keyed various curse words into the hood of her car.

Don't worry, I find all managers a bit screwed in the head.

It's only a matter of time before it all catches up to her. The sad thing is that you have to answer to somebody that acts like a twelve year old.

Find someone to cast a spell that puts your boss under your control. It's the only logical solution to this problem.

I was going for the Man on Fire reference more than the proverb. I suppose I should have made that clear. Whoops.

I don't know what the employment rules are in Canada, but I'm sure that's worthy of being a hostile work environment.

Why moderate a comment if its an opinion. Frankly my opinion. I didn't imply that having rumors spread about you isn't "a good thing". I explained that I didn't understand how the op, obtained these rumors. And for that I meant that it 'shouldn't be a fml'. Frankly my statement was misunderstood, not "boring".
