Today, at my workplace, I saw a system crashing. I mean literally, my manager was throwing my colleague's laptop at him while shouting around the office. This is only my second day. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I hit my boss's car. It's only my second day on the job. FML
Today, my boss tried to knock down a tower of empty boxes next to me while yelling, "Beat it, nerd!" A box hit my face and knocked my glasses off. I got bullied by my boss. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, I started my new job. It seems my colleagues are moronic pranksters, because when I leaned back in my chair, the backrest came apart and I fell to the ground, to much laughter. My boss immediately shouted at me to, "Stop fucking about." I thought this only happened in movies. FML
Today, I was in a meeting with my boss and superiors as well as our clients. About two hours in I started playing with the lid of the pen I was using, next thing I saw was the lid flicking up and hitting my boss square in the middle of the head. FML
Today, at work, I leaned back in a chair too far, causing me to tip over and smash my head into a wall. If that wasn't enough damage, my boss keeps replaying the security footage to everyone I work with. My head hurts not from the fall, but the loud laughter that keeps coming from inside the office. FML
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML
Today, at work, my manager fell in front of an entire lobby full of people on a wet floor. I'm the only one who burst out laughing. Turns out she has a broken arm. FML
Today, I watched a manager and a co-worker sit underneath a table in our store all day as I got yelled at for not working hard enough. I was the only one actually working. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sounds like an episode of the Office. I can totally see Michael Scott doing that to somebody...

If you are sharp in those moments, you can get a raise: just go help the manager and side with anything he says. It worked twice for me.

Anger never comes out of nowhere. The manager probably had a good reason for his actions.

That's not necessarily true... Especially if said boss is a bipolar lady on her period. O.o Of course, my knowledge of women is very limited so I'm basing myself on what my cat does.

why would ladies not have the right to be respected managers just like men? You are from the dark ages dude...

If you don't like your situation, try become a manager yourself. He worked hard to get there, he deserves the benefits of his position. He earned it.

The benefit of being a manager does not include physically terrorizing the employees.

It's very hard being in charge of a group of employees. You must keep them scared of you while you dodge the legal issues they try to throw at you because they are jealous of you being the manager.

I agree. Everyone tries to make the managers look like the bad guys. If they don't like their job, maybe a communist country would be better for them?

I'm a restaurant manager, and I'd fire any of my employees on the spot if they ever threw anything at a co-worker. And my bosses would do the same to me. Because honestly, if I were eating at a restaurant and saw a manager pitch a laptop or a glass or anything else at an employee, I'd never eat there again. It's about professionality. Being a manager entails behaving like an adult, not a four-year-old throwing a tantrum.

Kudos on not booking your ass out of there, like I would have done.

Well 54 I'm glad you asked. How about we discuss this over a Nice, warm, cup of SHUT THE **** UP?

Find a new job. It's only a matter of time until this happens to you. But beforehand, report what you saw to HR and convince your coworker to do the same. Good luck OP

Don't do that! That's probably why your ex-coworker got in trouble in the first place. Love and respect your elders.

I recommend full body armor, preferably of the medieval persuasion. Either that or something more akin to Iron Man. Just as long as it can save you from taking a laptop to the skull or any other tender area, I guess. Or practice ducking ;-)
