Today, I started my new job as a supervisor. I began by cleaning out my new office, including recycling large sheets of cardboard left over from the new calendars. When the 2nd shift came in, however, they got very upset and yelled at me. Apparently, I had thrown away my Muslim workers' prayer mats. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, was the first day of my new job. My boss admitted that they hadn't cleaned the employee bathroom for over two months. My first task: clean the employee bathroom. FML
Today, I walked into my new office for the first time after receiving the promotion I've been trying for. Someone took a dump on my desk. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job. Not only does everyone hate me for replacing a guy they all liked, I managed to clog the only functional toilet there. The glares and threatening head-shaking they keep doing probably means I'm screwed. FML
Today, I started my job as a high school janitor. A student decided to welcome me by taking a dump in the urinal. FML
Today, I finally started my first job. I also lost it, for being too "enthusiastic" and making my fellow employees look lazy. FML
Today, my supervisor told me to stock the bedding department, so I did all the pallets set out, with an hour to spare to clean up, only for my supervisor to bring out three more once she saw I was done. FML
Today, I started my new job as a janitor at a store. The first thing that happened when I came in was another employee telling me that there was vomit in the restroom, and that I had to clean it up. Not only did I clean up vomit, I had to clean up the poop that made the kid puke in the first place. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your comment makes it sound like people should come to the job and just work and not read a book, eat, chat...etc. All these can be done during the break time which is probably when the muslim workers are performing their prayers. Nothing wrong with that.

wow that really sucks but it was an honest mistake imo. How would you have known? Good luck and look at it as an opportunity to make a new friend! Maybe buy him some new ones as an apology and go from there?

Mynxie i assume youve read the quran? Killing anyone is one of the most "haram" things you can do as a muslim. We dont kill non-believers. Nor do we kill for blasphemy or apostasy. There are a few verses about how god is angry at gays but no where does it say we should kill them. In fact the quran tells us to treat everyone justly as friends unless theyve destroyed our homes, families or otherwise. Even then we arent allowed to kill. We're only allowed to kill if for self defense or for holy war

I think you are very unsure of how Muslim prayers work. They do not adjust to times and are to pray five times a day according to scheduled times, everyday, 7 days a week. And if the work environment allows them to pray during work hours, then I don't see how it's a problem. I work in retail but the management are very understanding and allow our Muslims staff to pray if they need to. Educate yourself on such things before commenting.

<p>Honestly I am a muslim and this could deffo happen to me....not entirely sure why they would be praying on cardboard and expect a new supervisor to know that the cardboard is in place of prayer mats. Sorry did it find it funny, hope they understood too!!</p>

Yes, because devout Christian have never been violent or threatening the least to LGBT people in western society...

Wow... how did you not know what the mats were for? I mean they are pretty unmistakable...

Why were the mats in a supervisors office and not in the employee break room? How were you supposed to know what they were?

Could be a shared office.

You should read the bible. It promises much worst treatments to sinners than Koran. But given the nature of your comment I really doubt you read anything much.

Why should the employer provide that for them? It should be on them to get a mat if they want it.

Because their asshole supervisor just threw them away

Shouldn't be the employers responsibility to provide that.
