Coworkers and Work: New life

New life

By jend - this FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went into work happy about my supervising promotion. When I arrived at work, I realized that only one person had decided to come into work today, which meant I had to clean 15 rooms, and supervise myself. FML

Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML

Exploitation

Today, my supervisor told me to stock the bedding department, so I did all the pallets set out, with an hour to spare to clean up, only for my supervisor to bring out three more once she saw I was done. FML

Thanks for the assistance

Today, I came in to work and found the conference room whiteboards completely clean. My assistant had wiped all the white boards where I'd spent 10 hours writing the schedule for the next three months. I was going to meet with all the supervisors to finalize that schedule today. FML

Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML

Dazed and Confused

Today, I was promoted. I got advice throughout the day from all of management on what I'm supposed to do first thing everyday. Not one was the same as the other. FML

Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML

Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML

Now that you're the supervisor, you gotta get your shit together and punish them. And #3, go watch sesame street. They can teach you how to count to 10 and the difference between 1 and 3.

Does being supervisor mean you can fire the other asshats that didn't show up?

You're a supervisor now? Get in touch with corporate or your higher-ups and get their asses fired.

write them up for not coming into work, you're a superviser now you should have the power to do that. I'm a housekeeper- had to clean 16 and do laundry.. suck it up. =]

#25 I work at a resort on weekends as a way of earning extra cash, I'm sixteen years old. i wasn't trying to make my job sound better than it is, I was just relieved I wouldn't have to clean rooms for one weekend.
