Today, I started my new job, and was introduced to my colleague. She seemed old and quite experienced, so I thought she was going to teach me. I was wrong. It turns out I'm a replacement for her daughter, who used to secretly do all of her work for her because she has no idea how to do it herself. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I began training my replacement at work. She's a senior citizen. She got excited when I taught her how to highlight text on the screen and double-click the mouse because she "never knew how to do those fancy tricks." The job is entirely computer-based. I have to train her for 6 weeks. FML
Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "Mom" while at work. FML
Today, I got a new job. This would've been a good thing, but apparently, the person I'm replacing was very well-liked around my workplace. All of my co-workers hate me now for replacing someone who I don't even know. 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, I got demoted from my manager's position, only to be replaced by a 21 year-old who has never worked in retail in her life. I now have to spend the next month teaching her my job so they can fire me. FML
Today, my colleague introduced herself and said, "I know how nerve-racking first days are!" Which is nice of her, except I've been at this company longer than she has. FML
Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML
Today, I started at my new job. The woman who I'll be working right next to 40 hours a week introduced herself with, "I know what your name is. I know what you're planning, and I've been sent to destroy you." FML
Today, I had the great pleasure of meeting my replacement, who was sitting at my desk in my office. My boss must've forgotten to mention to me that I've been fired. FML
Today, my new supervisor arrived after my old one had transferred away and we had a quick evaluation meeting. As it turns out, I'm not actually a good employee like I thought. I just had a shitty boss who didn't care enough to let me know I wasn't meeting company standards. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well at least help her learn, if she doesn't get it fast enough then she doesn't have a reason to be there. It should of been vice versa. The daughter got fired and not the mother....

It doesn't say her daughter was fired. She could have quit or moved away.

Whoops. Probably need to get my eyes checked. Thanks for the correction. Well hopefully no one got fired.

Tell that bitch that if she doesn't start doing her share, you're gonna tell the boss and get her fired.

Get her daughter to train you to keep the cover-up alive. Tell the daughter if she refuses, both her mom and you will be out of work with plenty of time to blame a scapegoat.

Well, don't you get stuck doing all this woman's work. And who the hell is going to train you? Hopefully this woman will be found out sooner or later.

How did you manage to find all of this out on your first day? Amazing!!!!!

Take this opportunity to show your boss that you're a go-getter. Ask if you can be trained by the best performer at your work, so that you have the chance to start off with the best knowledge possible. If that doesn't work (or if this woman IS the best performer) and you're stuck with Mrs. Lazy Pants, then tell your boss she doesn't know what she's doing. It may suck for her when the boss finds out, but in this situation, you have to look out for yourself.

You have to read between the lines. Of course, the boss knows that Mrs. Lazy Pants doesn't do any work, yet he has some reason to keep her on the payroll. Now, let's imagine what that might be :)

Dirty old-lady sex?! ;)

You'd be surprised at what skills can be developed from years and years of experience ;)

I know it's not fair that she's doing no work and still getting paid, but am I the only one who would feel bad getting an old lady fired? If she's still working, that probably means she doesn't have money for retirement. It's still wrong, but with a skill set that lacking she's lucky she has a job.
