Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML

Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML

Taking the piss

Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML

Team building

By Incompetent - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff - Pakistan - Lahore

Today, my boss admitted that he seriously regrets hiring me, but can't really do anything about it because that would make the senior management question his judgment, making him look bad. So he's just 'putting up' with me. FML

Why would you do this?

Today, a female co-worker was struggling with a stack of boxes in her hands. Her pantyhose was falling down and she asked me to help her, so I pulled up her pantyhose. When I looked up, she had a horrified look on her face. She was asking me to help her hold the boxes. FML

Hopefully you give your manager the flu, serves them right. Karma for making you work.

"Her shoes hurt? Well, your face is killing me." That'll get the point across, I'm sure.

Best is to sneeze, cough and pretend to pass out several times. Infect as many people as you can. Then as you're asked to leave because you're too sick, go "But my shoes don't hurt"

If he's an asshole and you know it, spread the flu! If he's an asshole and you know it, spread the flu! Cough on his desk, don't wash your hands, hand him paper, do your best, if he's an asshole and you know it, spread the flu!

Spit in his coffee, sneeze everywhere If he catches it, good If innocent other workers unfortunately catch it, the whole workplace will call in sick

Actually forcing you to work when you're infectious is illegal. Especially if you work with the public, or around food. It could be a major health code violation.
