Today, my extremely racist coworker was doing his usual thing. Since it was 9/11 he went absolutely hardcore on his "jokes" so I reported it to my supervisor. She asked what did he say specifically and I recited it to her. She decided to write me up for "making inappropriate comments at work". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, my boss wrote me up for saying "pissed" in front of a client. This is the same boss who nearly pissed himself laughing when a client made an extremely off-color Holocaust joke a few weeks ago, in front of half the department. FML
Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML
Today, my boss threatened to fire me for racism after I refused to hire a black woman. I didn't hire her because she came to the interview wearing what was basically a bikini and she was covered in tattoos depicting lewd sex acts. FML
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, I was accused of being a "racist whore" at work. I'd only asked a man if he needed help finding anything, as that is part of my job. FML
Today, our desks were rearranged. I was seated next to a coworker who spends the entire day on the phone, chatting loudly with his relatives in another country while he works. I complained that it was distracting. Management won't do anything about it and warned me that "my complaints reek of racism." FML
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, I got fired, apparently for being racist to black people. When I told my boyfriend, he couldn't stop laughing. He's black. FML
Today, it was a coworker's last day. Over the last 6 months, he has been talking smack about me because he assumed I'd ratted him out for a Facebook post, ranting about our place of employment. I decided to confront him after work to let him know that I didn't do it. He then reported me for harassment to all of my supervisors. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

No, no, no. You need to take this higher up and fight this. Tell them what really happened.

If you got written up for repeating it, hopefully he got fired for saying it.

although I find most jokes funny, even dead baby, 9/11, and Holocaust jokes, I think by OP bringing up the coworker being racist in connection with 9/11, he was making racist remarks about one of two things, 1.) Racist Middle Eastern remarks, as the attackers on 9/11 were of such race or 2.) He might be Middle Eastern himself and was making remarks about the victims of 9/11 deserving to die because the majority were not Middle Eastern (I can attest to the fact that there are some that have this viewpoint as I've personally met some.) Either way, there is a big difference between a joke and racist remarks, if his remarks were indeed dictating stereotypes, or worse, of different races then he should be reported. Outdated and disgusting beliefs that separate us as human beings only continues to hold us back in every way as a species.

1) it's time to find a new job 2) when you get a writeup, you have a chance to respond to it in writing. Just point out that the supervisor told you to repeat what a coworker said. Years later when going through your employment file they will see the writeup and the response and either ignore it or throw it out. Also, keep a copy of this in the event of a wrongful termination suit.

Op. Lay on your side in a comfortable position. Glove your hand. Reach back and remove that stick from your @$$. It's just a joke, quit being such a pretentious brown-noser.

HR, and see if you can get some other coworkers to agree to back you up by stating things they've heard him say. It definitely sounds like that supervisor has it out for OP, though. The other option is that they're somehow honestly dumb enough to think writing OP up for repeating something after they demanded OP do so, makes some kind of clown sense.

She either has a problem with you, or she's actually that stupid. Neither of these things are great.
