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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

Be grateful for what you have and not wanting more. Your fault

Your original cubicle was small. Your new one is twice as small, so it's double the original one. Sounds to me like you got what you asked for.

YDI. What makes you deserve a bigger one when everyone else has to stay with the same size one? If you don't like your job quit and get a new one.

Has it occured to you that some people are physically bigger than others? I'm 6'6", and I need a helluva lot more leg room than most.

FYL I think it's because you lack intelligence, it's "half the size" not "twice as small" !!
