Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, I received an email from my boss, with congratulations, announcing my promotion. I worked hard last year, so I was excited to hear this and replied with gratitude. He texted me and apologized for misunderstanding as this email was sent by mistake, and it was my coworker who actually got promoted. FML
Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML
Today, at work, the prizes were given to the employee of the month. They come in to surprise the winner and give prizes. They come over to my cubicle and cover me with silly string. Jokingly, I said: "Do you guys have the wrong cubicle? " They did. The guy in the next cubicle won. FML
Today, I spent practically an hour practicing my acceptance speech in front of the mirror after being nominated for "Employee of the Month." It turns out that they were just reading the names alphabetically, and I wasn’t even in the top five. FML
Today, my boss shouted and screamed at me for my fuck ups that have humiliated the company and cost thousands to put right. It was only when he paused that I was able to tell him he had the wrong guy, he wanted my coworker down the hall. I’ve been here for four years and he still doesn’t know my name. FML
Today, I realized that I've been using the wrong name for a coworker for the past 6 months. I just found out their real name when I saw their name tag. FML
Today, I learned that the co-worker who was out sick for months, whom I covered down for, received a much larger cash award than I did. This is despite me working there longer, taking on additional details, and receiving a glowing annual review. FML
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML

If she "let it be" there would be no FML, and we would have to wait until her boss gives her a raise and she confronts her boss claiming that someone else shuold have it instead. But still, we get your point....

Hence why I said she should have let it be... The whole point is to avoid things in your everyday life that can be considered making your life fuckworthy.

I can imagine that the boss told her in person, not knowing any of the staff. She gets excited and asks "for real?" the rest should be obvious.

This is what you should always do in situations like this... *Poker Face* "Ok"

I want to say You Deserve It, but clearly you don't.

And why did I get downvoted? Because the way I see it, if the boss can screw up and get the names wrong, he probably don't know his staff too well...

Your boss revoked your status because of your lack of confidence.
