Today, I decided to stand up to my bosses for making me lose money and work with heat stroke... while my co worker got to go home early I had to work 2 hours later. Turns out I got a supervisor in trouble for making me work when there was help allocated. Now I have to walk on eggshells, 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 yelled at by my supervisor for getting an hour of overtime yesterday. The reason I had an hour of overtime was because that same supervisor made me stay late. 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

The value of labor

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 walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". 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

Teamwork works

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 co-workers and I have to fight for our jobs because of a mistake our managers made. They get to keep their jobs. FML

So hot

Today, the AC broke in the kitchen of the restaurant I work at. Temperatures reached over 100 degrees and one of my coworkers nearly passed out. Our boss accused us of being "dramatic" and only let us step out after I collapsed. I need this job too badly to quit. FML

Today, I called into work because I was too tired to keep my eyes open. My boss berated me over the phone, saying I should be more like that other employee who came in with a broken toe. That was me. FML

No, you don’t have to walk on eggshells. THEY are the ones that should be treating employees well.

For the love of God don’t walk on eggshells, they can’t make you do that. If they are making you dance like a puppet for you paycheck, then just quit. It’s better in the end to do so

Nope. Keep reporting until you get fired or find something else. Unemployment will help any gaps, but quitting messes with it.

I’d worry more about your inability to form a coherent sentence.

Screw that. Management is on your side, it is the supervisor who should be walking on eggshells. He/she was in the wrong, you called them out and now they are taking it out on you. That is like a child who sulks and expects the parent to just roll over. Don't take that shit man, you did the right thing and you need to show the supervisor that you will not succumb to emotional blackmail. Your supervisor can only bully you if you allow them.

Heatstroke definitely would have sent you to the hospital! It would have been impossible to work let alone even be able to stand. I agree you shouldn't be walking on eggshells around your manager but it sounds like OP is playing up the situation.
