Work and Awkward: Toxic workplace

Toxic workplace

By Anonymous - 08/01/2010 05:39 - United States

Today, my boss told me when I transfer to a Target in Orlando I should work in the clothing department. He said it would be a good way for me to meet chicks. I told him all the girls who work in clothing in that store are ugly as hell. Apparently his daughters work there. I never knew that. FML

Today, a shopper approached me at Target and said, "So are you just gonna stand there to look pretty and do nothing around here?" I ignored his comment, until he got so upset that he wanted to speak to my manager. It would have been understandable if I actually worked there. FML

Today, at work, a table of girls complained to the manager about me. The complaint? "He's not hot enough to work here. We want a sexy server." The manager agreed with them and sent me home. I might lose my job because of a table of shallow women. FML

Today, I overheard my husband of 3 years talking to our boss, an attractive blonde. She was telling him that she couldn't believe he was with me. She thinks I'm fat and ugly and that he's hot. He said, "She's not that bad…" We work in the same store and she follows him around like a puppy. FML

Today, I went to work to find two new beautiful trainees. I thought maybe I might be able to hook up with one of them, so I walk up and flash my blue eyes and begin to act like a gentleman. Not five minutes into our conversation the girls ask me if there are any cute guys working here. FML

Today, I started my new job. Less than one hour into the day, my boss told me that the reason he hired me was that I was the least attractive of everyone he interviewed, so I'd be less likely to cause a distraction. FML

Today, I found out that the reason I'm working as a kitchen staff instead of out on the floor of the café is because the boss does not think I'm attractive enough. My boss is my brother. FML

Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML

Today, I came to work ready to impress my boss. A couple of weeks ago I asked him for a promotion from stock to sales and I have been proving myself worthy. Turns out he hired a new girl for sales, with great, big, fake breasts. FML

Today, I was walking to work and saw three guys sitting at a table outside. One of the guys looks at me and says to his friends, "That's the girl that works at the grocery store. She replaced the hot chick." The other two guys glared at me. FML

Today, I told my boss I was bored of being a cashier and would rather go to food prep. He told me I couldn't because my arms were too hairy. I'm a sixteen year old girl. FML

Maybe he was trying to set you up with one of his daughters.

Kind of an inappropriate comment to make about other employees regardless of whether they're your boss' daughters. YDI

Happyhak you're a ******* retard. He didn't assume anything he just told his boss that he thought the girls at the clothing department were ugly and it turned out his bosses daughters worked there. There wasn't anything for him to assume.

trouble37, i believe you are the retard here and i bet your parents apluad you for that since being retarded has been expected from you for a long time. The OP shouldnt be saying bad things about a deparment just because its in another country, reguardless of his reasons. Karma...what goes around, comes around...

Pendatic, just because Happyhak's second comment was rather puerile and senseless doesn't invalidate the original point. Although I did laugh at your reasons. I'll allow it

If your boss actually cares about you meeting chicks, immediately mark that as suspicion.

Even worse is that the so-called "chicks" are his ugly daughters. I smell a rat.

Posting in an FML about Florida (Fort Lauderdale here). Any FML posted from or about Florida, regardless how good or properly phrased it is, should always be allowed because Florida tends to screw most things up. Voting, weather, budgets, sports teams and franchises, and the list goes on and on.

YDI it for being too stupid to keep your mouth shut. It's work not the bar special Fred. I'm thinking you must be pretty fugly your own self if your only shot at getting a chick is one who is forced to spend time with you at work. Orlando has super hot chicks who uh, SHOP at Target. Also: Florida is awesome. Its the crusty old retards from New York and New Jersey who **** everything up. Please continue to hate on Florida, it's one less idiot for the natives to suffer.

To my previous post - For "some" reason, I keep repeating words. Need more coffee =X To #19 - With the latest trend in current weather, I would say yes and no. It all depends on your perspective, but regardless of the weather, the beaches are always awesome. To #26 - Not hating on Florida in that regards. I'm a native of the Sunshine State, but our "track record" in the national spotlight isn't exactly something to be proud of lately. On the bright side, we do have Tiger Woods and Bernie Madoff...

The weather change makes me sick. Doesn't help when my family is too. Yeah, Sarasota sucks even worse. More old people than anything. At least in Ft. Lauderdale theres some fun (used to live there). And don't diss New York and New Jersey. The snowbirds are mostly from Ohio and Illinois.

Florida... Sucks. I absolutely hate living here. >.< I miss actual WEATHER, not just "oooh it's so cold... Oh now it's hot yay!" It really blows. And I've lived all over Florida.
