Today, I had to wake up at 4am because my boss set an important business meeting for first thing in the morning. After making sure everything was ready, I went to work. My boss ended up oversleeping and moved the meeting to tomorrow. FML

Today, I got up and left for work despite being really sick, because I had a big meeting. Halfway to work, in deadlocked traffic, my boss texts me to let me know he's rescheduling the meeting to tomorrow because of personal conflicts. FML
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, I was starting a new job that requires me to wake up at 4 am. I set three alarms but was so nervous about sleeping through them that I kept waking up to check the time, which caused me to miss my alarms. Goodbye awesome new job. FML
Today, I yelled out while I was asleep. However, I was sleeping during a very important meeting with customers and my boss. FML
Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, I woke up at 2 a.m. and stayed up the rest of the night. I had to go to work from 3 to 11 and I ended up getting my coworker to leave early. As I was getting ready to leave, I found out that I wasn't scheduled today and that I now have to work this Saturday. FML
Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML
Today, I fully intended to start going to the gym so I set my alarm an hour early so I could go before work and get it over with. Alas, when the alarm went off and I saw that horrible "5 a.m." on my phone, my brain put me straight back to sleep without my consent. I ended up being late for work. FML
Today, I went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. FML

If it is such an important meeting, can't it be held later on instead of delaying it for another day?

I have to get up at 3am every morning for work... 4am sounds nice (Sleeping In!!) Lol but yeah most bosses think they're better and take their employees for granted...

How the hell can someone irresponsible like that be a boss? At least you're doing the right things, OP.

So oversleep, miss the meeting and you won't have grief cause what is your boss going to say? He didn't make it so why should you?

As much as that bites it can only help you look better in future if you plan to move up in the company since you are more prepared than your boss. Keep working hard it will pay off... eventually.

Don't worry OP you will be boss one day, just remember this day and stay humble.

Wow, I'm sorry. Maybe you could suggest that the meeting be held later in the day so he doesn't oversleep and miss the meeting.

Seriously, he really ought to be ashamed of himself. If it were someone else who was leading the meeting, they'd probably be fired ASAP.

Actually he said he had to wake up at 4 am, he never said when the meeting actually was.
