Today, my boss reached a new low when, after three software upgrades, she refused to let me update the user manual that I wrote a year ago. She has also cancelled the training sessions I set up to help people learn the new software. People are asking me why I'm not doing my job anymore. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss continued to orchestrate behind the scenes with my colleagues to make me look bad for her lack of organization. Then she showed up 10 minutes late to a meeting, shared that she needed a vacation, and realized that she needed to micromanage less. I've been asking her to make that change for months. FML
Today, after spending months building my boss 3 websites and finishing them, I was fired via a short email, saying she didn't need my help anymore. I only worked for her for 3 months, so basically I stopped being useful when I finished her websites. FML
Today, my sexist, misogynistic boss showed me a new program we all have to use. After several minutes of him explaining it badly and belittling me for doing it wrong, I opened a sub-folder that showed that I CREATED THE PROGRAM. He walked away, then later wrote me up for "having a bad attitude." FML
Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML
Today, I found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, my new manager, who I have spent the last three months training, had a managers' meeting and now won't be returning. FML
Today, my entire workforce downed tools today until I fire our new Human Resources rep, who in only a few weeks has made the workplace miserable and frustrating, and has increased sick leave by 48% due to the 'Can’t Deal With Her Bullshit' Virus. I can’t fire her; she’s the owner's mom. FML
Today, I started a new job. After being trained on several obscure computer programs I'm expected to use in just one day, my new boss informed me she's going on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. She's the only other person who knows how this program runs. FML
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. FML

Sounds like your boss is an idiot. Your coworkers need to be told your boss is an idiot and to ask your boss for training

If they don’t inhibit your ability to do your job, are they really even your boss?

Your boss probably has a friend or relative that they want to hire and is looking for ways to get you fired

Looks like my former boss is your current boss.

I would CYA yourself write some emails asking questions like when would you like the manual updated and when you can do training if the boss responds not using email follow up in email restating what she said and asking her to confirm. I think your boss is setting you up to let you go if you got no proof then you are toast.

Jump ship. You are being set up to fail.

Get it from her in writing and in an email that she's blocking you from doing your job, then forward it to the necessary departments and CC higher-ups.

Is there anyone you can report this to?? Make sure your co workers know it's not on you

Write the updated manual and post it to Wikileaks. Conduct the training on the Dark Web. You’re toast, so you might want to go out like a bad-ass!
