Today, my lazy manager, who blatantly spreads vicious rumors about employees, one which has ruined a marriage, has started targeting me because her lazy daughter was legally fired. Now I'm known around the office as "the whore who slept her way up the corporate ladder." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML
Today, I found out that the co-worker I have been dating and falling for is the same co-worker that had been spreading rumors about me and getting me in trouble with my boss. FML
Today, my mother, who insists on sticking her nose into every aspect of my life, found out I'm only "middle management" and called my boss to criticize her for undervaluing me, demanding I be promoted immediately. I'm now the laughing stock of my office. FML
Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML
Today, my extremely lazy colleague received a promotion with benefits, while I was fired for "not being a team-player". I had stayed quiet about her constant negative behaviour because my supervisor had said we needed to "have each other's backs". While I was protecting hers, she put a knife in mine. FML
Today, I found out that a new coworker was spreading false rumours about me. I confronted her. and she basically ran to management and said I intimidated her even though other colleagues discredited her claims. She now continues spreading the rumours with her fake intimidation charges on top of it all. FML
Today, my wife somehow found out that my "surprise bonus" from earlier this year was actually hush money from my boss to keep quiet about her affair. Rather than let a good thing alone, she threw a fit and called my boss's husband. Now I'm jobless, and my boss has sworn I'll never work in my industry again. FML
Today, I found out why my District Manager won't promote me to store manager; his wife thinks he's having an affair with me. If he promotes me, she will take that as evidence of the affair, and then will threaten to divorce him. FML
Today, my spineless shitwhip of a boss made me go fire a notoriously abusive employee. I had to act like firing him was my decision, even though I'm the secretary. Now I get to live in constant fear that the guy was serious when he threatened to find out where I live and kill me. FML
Today, half of my office urged me to file a complaint against a coworker for aggressive behaviour, so I did. Less than 24 hours later, HR gave him a real dressing down and the whole office turned against me for ratting on him to management. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, she certainly sounds like a charming woman. "Horrible Bosses" came to mind.

Well at least OP knows now that anything she does can't possibly be worse than the rumor about her already.

OP can do anything... OP is invincible.

This situation brings karma on your side and your manager is gonna get double hit. I hope you'll be there to see it when it happens and I hope even more that your manager learns a lesson and fixes her behavior. Don't let it get to you.

The sad part is, I bet that manager has nothing better to do with their life. Sorry OP.

24 - Because OP's a (wo)man! (S)he can do anything thing!

A man who slept "her" way up the corporate ladder? Most likely female. I think.
duke56924903 11
24 makes a great point... Now that everyone thinks you've slept with the higher-ups, the power belongs to you. OP: 1, Crazy Boss: 0

I'm not employed(I'm a minor), so I don't have a full understanding of a work environment, but that sounds like harassment and you should report it to HR.
chatoyant_fml 12
Oh well situations like this would never happen if people didn't believe in every sick rumor they heard. Don't get it, who cares anyhow what others have done, as long as people are kind and honest. But sorry op for having a terrible manager, keep your head up, you know the truth.

I think that if she always spread rumors around that people would eventually come to find out their untrue. Though some people's own lives are so shitty they feel the need to make everyone else's life just as bad.

U can actually get hr involved, ofcorse ud nee to have proof, tape recorder,text ect. Hope it works out for you!! Situations like that suck

You* her* Of course* You'd* Need* You're welcome.

93, HR was actually correct. It stands for human resources or something like that and it's where employees can file complaints and stuff.
MiloBear 11
#93 you corrected "hr" as "her" but I believe it is meant to be HR. Also, you left out *etc I don't blame you though; it's tough to get past the first half of that sentence.

An actual complaint could be slander by the manager, which is saying untrue things about the defendant which may affect his/her job performance or the aspect of performance by her or others. This can be a very serious law suit, which is why when most people call previous employers about their performance within the company they are only allowed to say whether or not that yes they did or did not work for their company. Because if they misspoke or said something that may not be true in the mind of the hiree then they could get sued. I would look into this op. may be the chance in a lifetime to shut her up...

#113 I wasn't even sure what that was suppose to be.
thewifey310 7
Glad u corrected my spelling :)) i have a cracked screen so rlly hard to type.!! But as far as hr....if u HAD a job, u'd know that hr=human resources!!! :))
mizuki123 8
#128 are you talking about me?

Hmmm, good to know.... Thanks! (feel dumb for not knowing this, but I've been out of the workforce for a while)

Wow, what a horrible boss! I'm really sorry. I would report her for harassment.
boating_guy 33
OP needs to hire Mothafucka Jones.

Wouldn't that be sexual harassment, when OP is referred as a *****?
bjf10 22
Yup, time to talk to HR.
gc327072 31
(in mortal combat voice) FINISH HER!!

It's more likely slander. But still chargeable.
MolesterStallone 13
If I were you I would quit that job. You deserve to be treated fairly!
Tthug 34
Easy to say when you're payed minimum wage or close to it. When you work in an office and you've been working there for several years, generally quitting means serious time without a job especially in this economy. You just have to deal with it and hope people get kicked up the ladder.
dashizam 10
Take a vacation and go job hunting! Then quit! You could end up in some deep shit if you stay at it. He could completely destroy your reputation an it would be even harder to find a job.
Mioko_fml 6
Quiting the job means giving in to the manager, and allowing another victim to fall into her trap. I would just report her for harassment or something.
Bibliovore 26
16 -- Or kicked OFF the ladder. In a situation like this, I'd do as others have recommended and go to HR. The manager's behavior is unacceptable. (Even if the OP DID really somehow sleep her way up the corporate ladder, spreading office rumors about it would be unacceptable.)
NashyzzleTheN 10
I'm sorry. Some people don't make sense. I feel ya!
NashyzzleTheN 10
Actually take out the "I feel ya" part because that's actually never happened to me before...but that is a horrible boss/:
nevershoutkendal_fml 11
OP does need to go to HR, though.

You need a new boss...I'm sorry :/

You cannot choose your boss. Your boss chooses you.
Forest_Berry95 6
But that doesn't make since for the manager to target op if the op didn't do anything wound. I don't really think this should've been a fml.
KelseyDaBoyz 21
At least it wasn't like my boss who constantly hits on everyone including myself. & then asks us to try to find a decent woman for him. But still, FYL indeed.
pcentral 17
As long as you're doing a good job, who really cares what anyone else thinks? That does suck for you though.
YakuzaxGeneralz 9
Well because what her boss is doing is child like and a form of harassment that should be taken seriously.
Nnycr 4
Well you are already getting the social bs for it.... Climb that ladder!

That is the definition of looking on the positive side. "I'm already considered a ***** by everyone here... Might as well live up to it and get the perks!"
