Today, I found out that my company is paying more for hors d'oeuvres at one party than I will receive for my entire year long internship. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out why the temps were not invited to the company Christmas party. The company paid for the regular employees to go to a nice restaurant, gave them nice presents, and handed out substantial bonuses. They keep telling me they can't hire me on because the company can't afford it. FML
Today, I was let go from my internship for "not putting in enough effort". I was working 50 hours a week for almost zero pay. FML
Today, my bosses were boasting about their work-funded retreat, including the $1,800 bottle of wine the company paid for. This would be fine if they hadn't just told me there are no funds to pay me for the work they've got me doing. We are also the biggest company in our industry. FML
Today, as usual, I got to my internship early, did everything my bosses asked. At the end of the day, I was fired after 3 weeks of working unpaid overtime because they found an applicant with more experience for the job I applied to and they wanted to cut costs. FML
Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML
Today, I found out that, because I'm a student, the employees I train make more than me. FML
Today, I found out that the new receptionist earns more than I do. I'm an undergraduate accountant and I've been working there for 2 years. Oh and I started out as the receptionist before I got a "promotion". FML
Today, I found out that one of my coworkers, who has been with the company for less than a week, is getting a $7k pay rise. I've been with the company for 8 months and still on minimum wage. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
Today, I found out that my university had not accepted the internship I did when I was in college. They placed me in the same bank I interned in, with the same bank manager that I flipped the middle finger at after finishing my internship. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're just an intern. Be glad they invited you. I'd be stoked to go to a party with free expensive shit.

That's what happens when you are young and starting out. If you are any good in a few years you will be well paid and pissed off when you hear young interns bitching about paying their dues.

Um considering you got invited to something they didn't need to invite you to AND you get a paid internship when most people don't, BE ******* GRATEFUL!

Internships are SUPPOSED to be cheap! You are there to gain experience, not pay off your college loans!
