Today, while working as a cart attendant, I found one of my coworkers on a lawn chair sipping on a Bud Light in the parking lot, while we both were supposed to be working, leaving me to push carts by myself. My boss comes out to me catching my breath and tells me to work harder. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I watched a manager and a co-worker sit underneath a table in our store all day as I got yelled at for not working hard enough. I was the only one actually working. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, while working at my job at a lumber/hardware store, my coworker told me he was taking an hour break instead of the usual half-hour. Not only did he leave me with a store packed with customers on Customer Appreciation Day, but he never came back until closing time. FML
Today, it's day one of my suspension and probably being fired from my job. Why? I accidentally took a beer out my bag instead of a soda, then got distracted working to make sure everything got done. FML
Today, my boss had me walk a mile to the nearest store to get food for a party because she didn't want to lose her parking space at work. Her shopping list had two gallons of juice and a 10lb bag of ice... I had my legs and arms. FML
Today, and like every day, after I'd just had finished serving a customer on one side of the store, my boss asked me to go help another one on the other side of the store, which is literally a 2-minute walk away, while 2 other staff members were besides him, doing nothing. I don't even get paid commission. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Today, while I was working in the liquor store, I was trying to impress my hot boss by lifting three cases of Grey goose. Turns out I can't, and I'll be working for the next two months of the rest of my summer paying it all back. FML
Today, after sitting for hours at my desk, my legs fell asleep. When I got up to go to the bathroom on my break, I couldn't walk properly and leaned against things so I wouldn't fall over. My supervisor then came over and started lecturing me about being drunk at work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell your boss to give your coworker a breathalyzer test. Pretty sure it's illegal to be intoxicated while on the job at most places.

Great idea. What could possibly go wrong?

Maybe he didn't see your coworker.

Tell him about the other guy drinking beer and if he doesn't listen, sounds like you need to find a better job.

Get a better job

Snap a picture of your coworker. I know nobody likes a rat, but still. Your coworker drinking on the job is probably grounds for termination. Then your boss might hire a replacement who actually has a decent work ethic.

Don't you have a machine to help push anyway, instead of hand pushing the whole time?

not every place has those. the store I used to work at doesn't. they had to do it all on their own.

Must've been a small lot then.

I have never heard of a machine that helps push carts. Neither my local Walmart or Hannaford has something like that. I don't know if my Price chopper has something like that.

I've seen those little motor cart pushers and only certain chains use them. It's not an issue of lot size but whether a business wants to spend the money for one of those.

Hm, well the place I work at has one. Plus, groups of those things are heavy as **** to push, every store should have at least one machine.

Or you can get off your ass and move them.

pretty sure that should result in automatic termination for your lazy co worker and he could even get arrested for drinking in public. I hate how hard working employees don't get the credit they deserve but lazy ones get away with everything.

Today, my coworker is a better slacker than I am. FML.

The moral high-ground never felt so shitty. Sorry op.

Looks like it's time to throw a co-worker under the bus.

Your boss will probably high-five him. Some people get away with murder.

"Suck it up! But not the air." "How about the beer my coworker is having right over there?"
