Today, I asked my boss if I could have a bigger cubicle. I'm now working in one that is half the size of my old one. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my intern was given his own office. I have been asking to move out of my cubicle for nearly four years. FML
Today, my boss showed me how he wants his office redecorating. We have employees on minimum wage and yet he wants a private bathroom, large screen TV, sofa and PlayStation, and a decorative suit of armour, all in an office that’s already bigger than my one bedroom flat. FML
Today, for the third time this week, my boss made me switch desks. Each new desk is closer to the door than the last one. I think he's trying to tell me something. FML
Today, the guy in the cubicle across from me complained about me to our boss. Apparently, his relatives heard me typing something on his daily 8+ hour call to them, and now don't believe he has his own office. My boss took his side and asked me to type quieter. FML
Today, I went into my former workplace. While there, an ex-coworker told me that after I quit, they split my position into two separate jobs. When I worked there, my boss had told me to suck it up whenever I said there was too much work for just one person. FML
Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML
Today, I was promoted to a management position and finally get to have my own office, only to find out it's located in the basement and has no windows. FML
Today, I got written up for asking my coworker a question that I should have asked my boss to ask my coworker. Yay bureaucracy. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
Today, I once again got less than 20 hours of work for the entire week. My boss's solution? Double the staff. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's not the size that matters. It's what you do with it ;)

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean. ;D

Yeah that's for sure. I think it's time to invade your bosses office! But no seriously work really hard and ask why he did it instead of just saying no.

assuming that they do work hard, they probably deserve a bigger cubicle

If the OP worked hard, the boss wouldn't go out of his way to give him/her the exact opposite of what he/she asked for.

16 - Just because the boss didn't give the OP what they'd requested, it doesn't automatically mean that they're not a hard worker. The boss seems like an immature douchebag for putting the OP in an even smaller cubicle. A simple 'no' would have sufficed.

16- in business, it's not always so clear-cut. Working hard doesn't always get acknowledged. Some bosses are just douchebags on a power trip and sometimes your coworkers will stab you in the back for a promotion, especially the ones who slack.

And sometimes the bosses are good people and the workers are lazy asses who always beg for stuff they don't deserve. Mah bad for taking it differently.

While you all (mostly) have good points, I voted FYL simply due to the fact that OP works in a ******* cubicle, period.

OP should get a miniature cactus to warn off approaching co-workers.

Bigger doesn't always mean better these days...

It is all about materialism. Every one wants a bigger size. Tv's, cars, houses, ****, pools, asses, gardens, dicks, bathtubs. Heck people themselves even get fat!
