Work: Today, like most days, I spent my lunch break with a sandwich...

Today, like most days, I spent my lunch break with a sandwich in one hand while typing with the other, trying to keep up with my work load, while my coworker took a nap. We're supposed to be doing the same job, but he refuses to learn most of the software. The boss is fine with this. FML

Meritocracy

By DazedAndConfused - 14/11/2021 11:00

Today, like every day, my coworker showed up thirty minutes late, sat down for thirty more checking email while I got the morning work done alone, listening to her bitch about how much she hates her job and wants to go home. My coworkers criticized me for being moody, and praised her for being the best. FML

Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML

Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML

One law for thee…

Today, my boss called me while I was working from home to bitch me out over being away from my computer for 49 minutes, when my lunch break is only 45 minutes, thus wasting another 13 minutes. My boss is known for spending hours online gaming from home during work hours. FML

Asshat walking

Today, a random customer at work admonished my coworker for being on her phone. During our lunch break. As he walked away, my coworker muttered, "What the fuck is his problem?" I nodded in agreement. He heard her and saw me nodding. As did our boss. Time to get written up. FML

Today, my boss went out for a few hours. My coworkers saw this as an opportunity to take a 2 hour lunch without getting caught. I stayed at the office to answer the phone, while streaming videos which is a big no no. My boss came back early and caught me, they're all still taking lunch. FML

Today, I worked from 8 to 7 without a break and I'm still not done with my assignment. Meanwhile, my co-worker crafted a piece of paper looking like a watermelon slice and posted a picture of herself seemingly taking a bite out of it. FML

Conflicting mismanagement

By Anonymous - 26/02/2023 11:00 - United Kingdom

Today, a field engineer decided to rework everyone's schedule, just because he couldn't be bothered to do a full day's work. Now two of us who would've been busy all day are sat on our phones, and he's off out on "errands". How a day goes depends on how bothered he can be. FML

Cheapskate

By spyrogers1677 - 17/12/2022 06:00 - Canada - Ottawa

Today, as always, my boss is too cheap to buy more than 2 profiles for a critical software. Six employees compete in a daily thunderdome to log on and do their work before getting kicked off and losing everything. FML

Teamwork works

Today, I had a huge amount of work to get through. Two colleagues offered to help, because one had nothing else to do, and the other couldn't work until I was done. My boss got really pissed at me for "making" them do my job and wasting their time. FML

As long as you keep doing that, then it will continue. I suggest you bring in a pillow and blanket and snuggle up with your co-worker.

It won’t be like that for long. The lazy guy will probably be promoted to management at double the salary. You’ll have to put your sandwich on a tripod, do you can type with both hands to keep up with the extra work.

Then refuse to learn the software as well?

I guess the coworker made a nice dickjoke in the bosses presence some time ago and now he can let the bitches do the work.

Why cover his ass during your break time? Let him fall behind and get in shit.

Tell your boss you need to take leave in a couple of months and that it’s imperative your coworker get to know the software so the work can get done while you’re away.

He won’t learn the software? Takes naps? Falling behind on work while you try to catch up? What’s his purpose exactly and what is he being paid to do? Nap?! Either you keep putting up with this shit and cover up for him and his lazy ass or you stop and when your boss points that out tell him you’re not paid to do the load of two people.
