Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, some of my coworkers have complained that I don't do my share of the work, though they can't specify exactly what I'm not getting done. Apparently, being too efficient and finishing first means I mustn't have done anything at all. The supervisor sided with them. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me, telling me that I can't answer the phone anymore. Not because I do a bad job, but because a co-worker whined about it being her job. People call her and complain about how rude she is and then ask to talk to me. FML
Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML
Today, my co-workers decided in our meeting with my boss that everything is my fault. When asked for examples, they couldn't come up with any. Now they are mad at me, because I'm apparently good at my job. FML
Today, I had a huge amount of work to get through. Two colleagues offered to help, because one had nothing else to do, and the other couldn't work until I was done. My boss got really pissed at me for "making" them do my job and wasting their time. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, I got chewed out by my boss. Why? Because my coworkers haven't gotten their work done. Now I have to scan them their work for them to complete it. FML
Today, I got in trouble with my boss for doing what she wanted me to do. I guess she didn't think I would do it, so she did it herself. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wonder what the age starts to be once people realize that when you are an adult you don't get babied around and they hold your hand through the whole way

Different ages for different people.

The adult thing to do would be to kill them

And some people I've met are way past the age where they will grow up, but they still haven't

They want it on a silver platter and spoon-fed to them, too.

Not sure if that's an MLP reference or not...

At least your boss told they were complaining and presumably isn't mad. Remember, as long as your boss likes you and you do a good job, it doesn't matter what they think.

Speaking of the boss, why is he not mad that his workers sit around expecting others to do their jobs for them?

They said "part of their jobs", maybe the other manager knows how to do that part the best, or the other manager is just nice. Not really something to get upset over unless the manager does it because the employees just ignore that duty. Relax.

#22 Kinda think you need to relax.

One time that happened to me.. unfortunately it got to me, and I quit. You can work through it, OP!

Ah good old fashion coworkers

Well that is kinda bullshit...

I feel like this is quite subjective. I mean from OP's point of view they could be being lazy and not need any help, but how do we know that they aren't falling behind through no fault of their own and the other manager helps them out when they need it and OP doesn't notice that need

This. Some managers really don't have much on their plates in terms of daily tasks to complete and should be helping where it's needed. Especially when there's simply too much work. If your boss brought it up to you it means he agrees that you could be doing more with your time.

Exactly. Helping with at least one task helps if their job is overwhelming. Especially if it's seasonal. It gets hectic.

They should be capable of doing their own damn jobs. That's such a childish, immature complaint.

So what if they complain about you? As long as your job is intact, they should be the only ones worried.
