Today, I got my new work schedule. I really need the hours. The boss says he can't give me more because the economy is bad. However, he did find enough hours to hire his son last week. This week? Most of my hours were erased and given to the new employee; his daughter. 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, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position.

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 boss informed us that there were no more single shifts we were all working doubles until further notice. Also there’s a way for us to “earn” a half day but we have to out sell everyone else in the office to get it. So being new I haven’t had time off in two weeks... FML

Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML

Today, I found out via a voicemail from my boss that my hours are being cut. He said, "They said I can't fire you, so you'll only be getting 20 hours a week. Starting today." Who'd they give my other 20 hours to? The one person that calls off sick almost daily and is never on time. FML

Today, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes. She then cut back my hours so much that I now only work one day a week. I got the job in the first place to pay for my college classes. FML

Today, I went in to work to check my new schedule for the week. I searched up and down and didn't see my name listed. After talking to my manager, he decided it would be easier to "release" me than remake a new schedule. FML

Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML

one it was never said if it was the boss bussiness and if is not than it may be against company policy to hire friends or family, if the economy is bad then the company should not be taking on new employees so you would have a case, and last it is law under the ideal of common law, meaning that it dosen't have to be something written down, reverse discrimination

Take what hours you can and start looking for another job. That company is doomed. Never work for an employer who staffs family. NEVER, EVER, EVER!!!

The economy is tough, but I think you should quietly start looking for another job. If the boss owns the company, he has already shown you that he prefers to hire and promote family. If he doesn't, management is tolerating his nepotism, and that's not good.

Today, I asked my dad to help me out by getting me a job at his business, but he turned me down to give extra hours to some stranger. FML. Actually, my version does sound way more selfish and whiny. FYL.

I think you have a reason to be upset but also remember where other people are coming from. I have to work at my parent's business instead of other people, but I work for free. My parents don't have money in this economy to pay for employees. Maybe your boss is the same way.
