Today, I was told it was inconvenient for me to take lunch breaks, because someone else has to answer the phones and no one else wants to actually do any work. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, while battling a severe flu, I was forced to come to work by my manager. Upon arrival, I discovered that a colleague he likes who should be covering for me is out today. The reason? Her shoes hurt. FML
Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML
Today, my company was having a huge party so I went to work dressed in my best outfit. During lunch break, my boss said to me, "You really missed out on something yesterday, it was great fun!" FML
Today, my boss sent me a message about a project, via WhatsApp. It's my day off, so I figured it could wait till I was able to give a flying fuck. Literally a minute later, he was spamming me, demanding to know why I'd left him as read and reminding me that he has firing powers. FML
Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, I was put on notice at work due to my "anger problem." Apparently, sighing in a meeting means you'll be labeled as someone with a short temper. However, the creepy stalker guy is on the fast track to management. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"If I chose to quit right now, is that going to be an inconvenience to you? It will?! Oh my! ... I quit."

It'll be even more inconvenient when you waste away and they have to do your job anyway.

New job time. If you work 8 hours in a day you must get a 30 minute lunch and a 15 minute break. If its just 6 hours a 15 minute break. It's the law.

Sounds like something my idiot boss would say. The sad thing is because you need the job there isn't a lot that you can do.

Find a new job as soon as you can. Get out before things get worse for you OP. Also... do take your lunch break - do get out of the building. And if you are meant to finish at 5pm, then from 4pm remain quiet (so people don't put "urgent" work on your desk at 4.55pm), pack up at 4.45, and just quietly walk out the door at 5pm on the dot.

is that legal where you live? Isn't there some sort of employment laws that prevent that?

That's illegal, that is intentionally breaking labor laws, and they will be in deep shit after you report them. :)
