Today, my slacker co-worker accused me of stealing because I got more hours than him. I was called into the manager's office and interrogated. They believed him, and sent me home for the day. I guess it pays off being the boss's kid. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Today, my boss accused me of submitting fraudulent overtime claims. I proceeded to show him security footage of me at my desk for sometimes 18 hours a day, keeping the business from imploding. He then claimed he doesn’t actually have enough money in the accounts to pay me everything I’m owed. FML
Today, I got a talking-to at work from my new manager for eating other peoples' lunches. Immediately afterwards, I watched my manager leave the room, take MY lunch, and begin eating it. Apparently my new manager is the thief, and I'm now the office pariah who gets the blame. Nobody believes me. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, at work, a man punched me in the face because he said I took his son's job. He meant both me and his son applied for the same job. He also asked to speak to my boss, because he thinks I "cheated." FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML
Today, I drove a total of 4 hours for my boss to demote me, downgrade my pay, and make the kid I hired my new boss. Why? Because I asked about the $500 missing from my paycheck. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, my son claimed credit for a money-saving scheme at work that belonged to a colleague. He claimed this to someone in very upper management, but when they tried to ask follow-up questions, he obviously had no idea how to answer, admitted his lie and was sacked on the spot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The shittiest player on my old softball team got MVP over me just because she was the coach's daughter. I think you should just keep proving yourself to be better than him as a worker, and soon get promoted out of having to work with him.

Unfortunately yes OP it really does pay to be the bosses son. Nepotism really is hard to overlook and he probably doesn't want to believe his son would be a slacker. Hopefully you're a good enough worker for your boss not to punish you.

I totally get it. I was fired from my first job because I refused to smoke pot with the new owner's son. I had worked there for 2 years with no issues with the original owners, and suddenly I "wasn't working" and "hanging out with my boyfriend." Even though the only time he visited, I was on top of some display cases, scrubbing the shit out of them.

So when it's proven false they get to pay you for the day contact your HR dept if there is one and threaten to sue for defamation of character and wrongful suspension. Even if you don't they won't touch you unless you really are doing something and they have proof:

Once upon a time, I played little league and every coach had children in the league. There was an all star team and only coaches children got onto it because of favorites. Then one day they went to play the other all star team from a park that chose the best kids for their team. Our team lost 18-3

Plant one thing from everybody's stuff in his desk and report the stuff missing that you saw him put it in his desk then when his father aka your boss sees it then he will get a firm talking to.

If they actually thought you were stealing they would press charges. The fact that they send you home with a slap on the wrist proves they're full of shit. Sorry OP.

"Nepotism" look it up.

He'll eventually screw up. One of the day employees was trying to frame my friend who worked the evening shift for stealing because my friend is gay. Eventually, my friend ended up calling in sick and the other employee still reported that his drawer was short, which proved what was happening. Hang in there!
