Today, I'm starting a new job. Only problem is, I haven't been told what my duties are, who my line manager is, or who to ask if I need help. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I have been at my new job for almost a month and still have no idea what I'm doing. FML
Today, I start my second shift at my new job. Apparently, I'm closing by myself. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. FML
Today, I started a new job. After being trained on several obscure computer programs I'm expected to use in just one day, my new boss informed me she's going on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. She's the only other person who knows how this program runs. FML
Today, after driving hundreds of miles to sign the paperwork for my new job, I found out the guy who hired me recently quit, and HR has no idea who I am. FML
Today, it was my first day working at my new job in a hospital with one day of training for a few hours a week ago. I wasn’t shown around and I was told I wouldn’t be alone today. I was. I got called useless because I’m the new girl who didn’t know where to tell people to go, or how to get there. FML
Today, I went to work at my new job, where I thought it would be super easy because I shop there all the time, and already know where everything is. Turns out, they're remodelling the store, so I don't know where anything is anymore, and the bosses get mad at me for being too slow. FML
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
Today, I started my first day of work. I was told to absorb everything going on and to get used to the high-paced flow of things. I've been sitting at my desk for two hours now, and the office has been empty since I've walked in. FML
Today, on my first day, I tried to ask my new boss a question, she visibly recoiled and actually gave me the, “I already have a boyfriend” line, and shut her door in my face, then locked it. I still need my question answered before I can start working, so I guess I’ll just sit and do nothing. FML
Today, I went to start my new job, only to find out that the guy who hired me had no permission to do so. I had to fill out another application, and complete another interview and I still might not get the damn job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Congratulations, OP. You are now the acting CEO. Go sit in the biggest office you can find and start firing people.

...How do they **** up that badly? Just find the nearest position of authority and consult them.

They're probably testing you. Take it upon yourself to figure things out. That should impress them.

Just do your part. Suit up, show up on time, be ready to do whatever is required, and let God do the rest.

Go in. Ask what to do. If no one tells you anything sit in the break room(punch in first) and wait until its take to go home. If no one ever tells you anything then your getting paid for not doing anything. Win win

YDI for not knowing what you got yourself into or speaking up to get that information before you started

I would look at my offer letter more closely. It generally does mention things like what is expected of me and has a name with a number I can call and ask other questions. I would call there and ask for who do I report to... Best of luck with the new job.
