Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML
Today, my boss asked me to pick up more waitressing shifts because we are short-staffed. I already work seven days a week. FML
Today, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
Today, I started a new job. The hours are long, but I didn't mind as I could REALLY use the overtime. Turns out, they don't pay over time. I'm just expected to go "above and beyond for the company." FML
Today, I once again got less than 20 hours of work for the entire week. My boss's solution? Double the staff. FML
Today, my boss asked me to work over the entire weekend. That would be fine if I didn't already work a 60 hour week. He also said the extra hours on the weekend wouldn't be paid. FML
Today, my boss told me I have to start work 4 hours early tomorrow, because that my coworker, who happens to be his son, will not be coming in because he's "too tired". I work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week without complaining. His son works two 4-hour shifts a week. FML
Today, my job announced we will be working mandatory 7 days a week for the next 6 weeks, maybe longer. There goes my summer. FML
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Today, exactly 19 seconds after I logged on, my boss Zoom-called me to let me know 3 people are out sick, probably until Monday, so if I wouldn’t mind doing their work as well so we don’t fall behind, within working hours, no overtime available. He wasn’t happy when I told him no. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

AshtonTs~ #32, my daughter is 16 and in the same high level classes as you, but OMG, she's looking for a job! She needs her sleep also, but I guess some are just tougher than others... I wouldn't feel the need to be rude to you if you hadn't started out being a jackass.

You didn't really say anything rude...just letting you know. And your daughter is in IB and AP?

why is that so surprising? do you assume you are the only one? so what if he's lying? he's just telling you you are rude. and hidden in his message is the question "if you need all the sleep you can get why aren't you sleeping now on this Friday night?"

Cause I happen to change my sleep schedule you nosy asswipe. I was not in shock, or being pretentious. Get your head out of your ass and unknot your panties.

My advice to you is that you need to stop bring an ignorant prick and read? Did I say I can't and didnt change my sleep schedule? No, STFU.

You have absolutely no social skills whatsoever. I did it when I was in high school while working. Now I'm doing it in college. No need to act like you're somehow superior to everyone else.

I see you live in Louisiana like I do,and I definitely know how you feel. I done shift work and had a part time for about 5 years now. It can get pretty stressing at times. As long as ur in the plants tho, I'm sure ur making some $bank$.

Yes she is, and she is also a dancer. Our mailbox is being flooded from schools at the moment; I'm very proud of her, and you too. OP~ Unless you want to look for another job you're just going to have to adjust. You might find that you like it!

get a new job? If you can't handle it change it, the overtime pay must be amazing though... I've worked plenty of 70 hour weeks and wish I could've got overtime for that
