Today, I found out that I'm working on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I'm spending my favourite time of the year working for $8.70 an hour. At McDonald's. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I showed up for my first shift in my new night job; I now work at an apartment complex during the day and at a gas station at night. It turns out that our biggest problem tenant in the former happens to be my boss in the latter. FML
Today, I received an email from a temp agency trying to hire me. Surprisingly, it was the same job I was just laid off from after two years of great employment. They were trying to hire me at half my original salary. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, after getting my dream job and quitting my old one, I was told my position is strictly "experimental" and will only last 2 months. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML
Today, I finally started my job as an in-home caregiver. The man I was hired to care for died two hours after I made it to his house. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There are plenty of better jobs than McDonalds. And most of those better jobs are humane and let people enjoy the holidays...so.

There may be better jobs out there, but it's a way of having an income nonetheless... Fast food may not be your first choice, but unfortunately it's one of those places that hire you when no others will... Or fortunately depends how you look at it...

I'm just wondering,what kind of fat lonely bastard would go to Mcdonalds on Any of those 4 days

People traveling for Christmas. People with a hangover for new years.

Ooooh also other people who have to work those days may stop there for a meal. People who don't celebrate the holidays. Anyone who's lost their family, doesn't have anyone to celebrate with, and doesn't want to be home. Just some suggestions.

I agree, It really does suck that you have to work on all of those holidays. But, at least you have a job in order to enjoy your days of with your family. Just reschedule your Christmas dinner so that you can spend time with family, that is if your family is small. But, in all seriousness, you should be thankful that you have a job, especially making over $7.00 an hour.
