Today, my boss called me in to have a serious talk. The "serious talk" was him asking me to notify him of my menstrual cycle ahead of time so he can "avoid that shit". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss made me cover for him by working two extra hours, because he had to rush home early to deal with an "emergency". The emergency was taking a shit, because he claims to have a phobia of doing them anywhere but at home. FML
Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML
Today, my boyfriend is threatening to dump me if I don’t give him all the details of my menstruation so he can track my periods with an app on his phone. FML
Today, my boss threw a pre-Christmas party at work. He always uses them to rant at us and tell us to be better employees. When the speech began, the alarm I have set for my daily birth control went off. It's the sound of an obnoxious screaming child. FML
Today, I had to have a word with my boss about how him coming into work drunk is probably not a very good idea. FML
Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my boss recognized my shoes under the stall wall and had a conversation with me while we were both taking a dump. I had severe diarrhea. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML
Today, my boss sent me to a meeting with a client I've never met to do some damage control and renegotiate his contract. For two hours, he alternated between threatening to sue us, and making vulgar comments about raping me in his office. FML

I'd consider that sexual harassment. That's way too ******* personal.

That's harassment/discrimination and is completely inappropriate and wrong.

Cal HR. That can be considered sexual harassment. He cannot tell you not to come in just because you're on your period.

She didn't say that he told her not to come into work. He asked her to tell him when she was pmsing so he could avoid her...

Definitely sexual harassment. Report him to HR if you have an HR department.

That is absolutely sexual harassment, and to people who think it isn't: sexual harassment is not about flirting/hitting on people. Sexual harassment is about making people uncomfortable on the basis OF their sex, as in, them being male or female. Asking someone about their period schedule is making them uncomfortable on the basis of them being female, thus, sexual harassment.

You should tell him: It's probably easier and more pleasant for you to not have him around during that time!

I'm not going to lie, this made me Lough out loud! You all need to lighten up. And just Maybe the op can be a bit bitchy when she is pmsing... I know I can.

You must be really intense and obvious.

People always freak out over these things when no one thinks it could be because OP is always in a bad mood or a bad worker when she is. Stop freaking out people get a sense of humour.
