The grudge

By Anonymous - 06/05/2020 20:00

Today, I was told by a former coworker that my former boss still talks about me being lazy, ever since the time I refused to do a few things on third shift when there was me and 2 other people working. I haven't worked there in 3 months. 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, 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

Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there was no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML

Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML

Losing

Today, my boss claimed that I've been lying to get days off because apparently nobody can be so unlucky as to have three family members die within a month. I'm just that unlucky, and suspended. FML

Today, I was fired for job abandonment. Yesterday, my boss told me to go home early because we were so slow. After I reminded him, he laughed and said, "Oh yeah... You're still fired." FML

The bitch is back

By Kayladuh - 09/02/2021 21:30

Today, I overheard a co-worker tell the new guy not to talk to me because I'm a bitch. Apparently, she didn't like it when I told her two weeks ago that she had a drinking problem, which was affecting her work ethic. FML

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

That would be a waste of money. The boss is expressing an opinion based on a fact that she refused to do work. Slander means spreading malicious lies, and his opinion, while harsh, is not invalid.

Workplace chatter often relies on recalling old legends. Unfortunately, you're saddled with legendary laziness.

1. It's not slander if it's true. 2. Skander cases are extremely hard to oroove 3. Unless the you can prove the slander affected you financially or kept you from getting a job, you won't have a case.

It would be one thing if the former boss was saying this to prospective employers, however sounds like the guy is just complaining about his not wanting to do what boss tasked him to do.

keep laughing, I just hope you never have to deal with this crazy shit. OP hasn't worked there in 3 months and is still a topic of discussion? creepy.

Usually when managers try to train you they say don’t do this or that. The fact that you refused to do tasks assigned from your manager shows your laziness.

I'm not sure how to interpret this... either OP was working a triple shift, and then I could agree this is an FML. However, if OP was just one of a third set of people going in... it's a YDI.
