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!

Just move your stuff back into your old office and if he asks why tell him that one wasn't working for you.

YDI for speaking such bad English. WTF is twice as small??? It's half the size, dumbo.

You obviously didn't deserve a larger cube. Try focusing on your job and maybe then you'll get a larger space. Until then, stop whining. I think it's awesome that your boss took the opportunity to show you how your priorities are wrong in such a funny way!

Whether you deserved the bigger cubicle I don't know, but your boss shouldn't have gave you a smaller one, he should of just expressed why he can't or won't give you a bigger one and leave you where you are.

Maybe your confusing wording is what caused this. Did you ask for a cubicle that is "half as bigger" than yours?

Always be thankful for what you've got. Be happy you have a job :)

twice as small? really? more like "1/2 the size of....." .... maybe your WRITING skills, or lack thereof are the reason for a smaller cubicle? just be happy you HAVE a ******* job and quit complaining!! ****

Your writing skills aren't all that great, either. Just putting that out there.

Cubicles suck. You are not a convict. Drop your learned helplessness and get another job in a more humane environment.

2 times smaller? You obviously didn't deserve a raise... Half the size....
