Today, my boss bitched at me because my body language "indicates that you don't enjoy doing your job". I just have scoliosis. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me in front of several customers for gesturing too much while I talk, because it's "unprofessional". I was using sign language. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, my boss pretty much told me that I'm too ugly to meet clients, and should stay in the office doing the paperwork. So basically, I'm a modern day Hunchback of Notre Dame. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office and bitched me out for a good half hour for my attitude to our customers. Apparently I always look pissed off and sound sarcastic. That's just my face at rest. FML
Today, my boss yet again said she was "literally dying", after she watched a funny video online. Long story short, I'm now on her shitlist because I couldn't help but point out that she clearly wasn't dying, and that her ranting was distracting me from doing actual work. FML
Today, my boss wanted to talk to me. Nervous, I went to her office. Turns out that my coworkers talk about me behind my back, and my boss is worried about me. Apparently, I lie about my bad knees, and me wearing black leggings is horrible. Most of them wear sweatpants on a daily basis. FML
Today, my boss came storming towards me, screaming just how tired she is with my constant bullshit. Already pissed off, I retorted that she's a bitch and should go lose some pounds. Turns out she was talking to her husband on her Bluetooth headset. FML
Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML
Today, I found out that my boss, who had promised me a raise, is not promoting me. He says I don't have the right 'vibe' and I'm not 'relaxed' enough for the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't know why the_f3rris is getting thumbed down. My best friend had surgery for it and doesn't have to wear a brace. Neither does my aunt...

Wear a back straightener. Scoliosis is no excuse for being lazy and hating your job.

I know the feeling.. And for those, who say to wear a back straightener and other things to keep back straight, it makes back hurt and makes it even more lazy and weak. So that's not so much of a help for getting better, but for muscles to turn lazy, because they don't have to do all the work.

I had my L-2 through 4 fused with rods to correct my scoliosis, and it sucks. Sorry, OP it is rough.

Sounds like a great reason to complain to higher ups, no one needs to tolerate that bullshit. Should get fired that instant!

Tell your boss to try having her back positioned at an awkward angle all the time and see how she likes it. Honestly the world we live in today. Smh.

As others have mentioned, if your boss doesn't know you have scoliosis, take the time to explain that to him. If he still gives you trouble, take your diagnosis to HR so you can ensure your protection under the ADA. I used to get lectured about how slow I would work sometimes, before I told my boss that I have arthritis that affects my wrists/fingers (I work on a computer all day). After explaining the situation, they have been much more understanding of my situation. Good luck OP!

49- Arthritis at the age of 21? Its great your boss is/was understanding about it, but how are you going to able to do your job at 31 or 41? Will it not worsen over time and use? :(

Most likely. I'm still working on a plan to make sure I don't lose too much movement as I grow older.

Wow some boss your have. FYL OP. I have scholiosis, so I kinda know what you're going through. It's a lil awkward trying to explain to people that you can't do certain things for fear it might make your back worse. My back isn't as bad as it used to be, but I still have problems sometimes. Hope everything gets better for you!

You're not alone OP! I have scoliosis as well.
