Today, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes. She then cut back my hours so much that I now only work one day a week. I got the job in the first place to pay for my college classes. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boss reprimanded me for not finishing my work on time. Yesterday, she cut an hour from my schedule every day until further notice. FML
Today I was fired from my job. They fired me because they couldn't work around my college schedule. The only reason they hired me was because they were looking for college students and without a job I can't go back to school. FML
Today, I handed in my 2 weeks notice, since I have to leave for college soon. My boss told me it was fine, then cut all my remaining shifts. FML
Today, I found out that my mom called my boss informing him that I am a little behind on some college projects. She felt he should know that she fears I might not be able to graduate on the planned date. My boss had already offered me a permanent job. I may not get that job now. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, I found out via a voicemail from my boss that my hours are being cut. He said, "They said I can't fire you, so you'll only be getting 20 hours a week. Starting today." Who'd they give my other 20 hours to? The one person that calls off sick almost daily and is never on time. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's really rude, at least you offered to work 5 days

Don't worry, OP! Now you have more time to stress over classes and the finals they bring! Who needs financial income when you've got stress keeping you going!

That doesn't surprise me at all. That's always what they do when you can't work the hours they want to give you. It's ****** up.

Sorry OP Maybe get a job that is more empathetic with your current schedule.

To me, the difference between YDI and FML is whether or not you told them you were planning to go to school when you were hired. If the answer is yes, as a boss I'd work with you if I hired you to come to a mutually agreeable and satisfying solution. If the answer is no, as a boss I'd probably sideline and replace you like is happening here. So. If you told them, FYL. If you didn't, YDI.

That was my thought, too. If she claimed to be available 7 days a week during the hiring process and then dropped the news that she needed 2 days a week free for classes after they hired her, I can see why her boss would be upset about it.

My boss just did this to me. Cut me down to just Sunday, when I went to tell him he could schedule me more days, he fired me.

Well at least you didn't get fired, I told my boss I could work my normal hours every day except Monday and Wednesday and there was a kid who wanted days since he started but instead my boss (who complained constantly about how understaffed we were) fired me :( he knew since he gave me the job in July that I'd start school in January. Sorry about that though op! I hope things get better. Getting an education is very important.

I know some states frown on retaliatory hour reductions. Maybe call your states labor board and fing out.

Was she doing to be nice or be a bitch?

Sounds like it's time for a new job. One boss got so mad when I got a second job that she took me off the schedule completely so I ended up quitting.
