Today, the laziest person in my department came and complained to me, while I was working, that they didn't know why we were so far behind today. Then they went to chat to their friend for 45 minutes. I know why. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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, 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
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
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
Today, my coworker, who constantly no-shows, ranted to me about his work hours being reduced. He somehow doesn't realize that he's the problem. We're understaffed as of now, so they can't fire him, and I have to be there constantly to make up for him being a lazy ass. My days off have been few and far between. FML
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
Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML
Today, while finishing up at work, I started helping a co-worker out with his workload since I'd finished mine. His girlfriend apparently didn't like this and started slamming things around, constantly muttering passive aggressive comments because she wanted to help him. I work with idiots. FML
Today, I got chewed out at work when my supervisor showed up, because my coworkers told my supervisor they couldn't find me for an hour and a half. Why couldn't they find me? Because they'd left to go get coffee. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Then tell him to quit sitting around chit-chatting and get his lazy ass to work!

I shouldn't be chatting shit because I was lazy AF too at my first job.

I've chatted to my boss about this person and so have my co-workers. Apparently this person is too old and gets stressed easily. I think if that's the case, then they should find a less stressful job or reduce their working hours. We work in a bakery, so it's a little bit stressful but no more than any other bakery/coffee shop. I'm also not on with the manager a majority of the time (at the moment our manager is on holidays) and that's when this person does most of their slacking off/taking extended lunch breaks/chatting to friends that come in and don't buy anything. When we do ask for help with the daily production, they normally have to go do something more "important" like stacking cups or slicing a cake. This person is permanent with 34 hours/week, while I'm casual, have no minimum hours, and can be fired with no notice. We got hired at the same time, but they are extremely good at brown nosing. I had an interview with another company for a permanent job this morning and everything went well, so I shouldn't be in this situation for too much longer.

I agree; they should just quit and look for a job that's less stressful. On the otherhand, I hope you'll get that permanent job! Here's to an early congratulations to you!

So you should have told him if he didn't spend the entire day bitching and actually did some work maybe y'all wouldn't be so far behind. Of course, only do that if you don't like the person anyway.

I personally hate coworkers like this. Of course it’s perfectly understandable if you want to have small like 5-10 minute conversations, but when people start standing around gabbing at other people’s desks for like an hour plus that’s when it’s like seriously you’re in a work environment to DO WORK
