Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was checking my schedule online and noticed that I wasn't scheduled for any shifts next week. Not thinking it was a big deal, I called HR to get it corrected, only to find out I was laid off and they "forgot" to tell me. 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 arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML

This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Overtime
Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML

Today, despite the schedule saying I was off, I found out I’m supposed to be working because my boss changed the schedule without my knowledge. FML

Today, after working all day and putting in hours of overtime, I realized I never clocked in. FML

Piss poor management
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML

Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML

Where were you?
Today, I was suspended from my job for missing a team meeting that was planned during my lunch time. Needless to say, nobody had told me. FML

Can't say I haven't done that before. At least you'll get some overtime out of it hopefully

I did that at a job one time. I took a specific day off for a family member a month in advance. A week later the plans were canceled. When the day finally came I walked into the office where we all gather before starting the work day. All the guys started laughing and I asked what’s wrong. My boss then told me I took the day off in Advance. He asked me if I wanted to work and I immediately said hell no, walked out and went home to catch up on some well deserved sleep. Well I’m my case I’m a moron but I’m your case your workplace wronged you and you dam well deserve an extra day off.

If they forgot to tell you about it earlier then they shouldn't have mentioned it at all! That's worse coz now you are stuck with "I could've had a day off!" mindset..

Can you add that day off onto your entitled holiday leave?

Hopefully you got paid for your work.

Hmm, most bosses don't give a shift.

If you clocked in, you should be getting the pay.

Oh boy. Good luck. Your boss should really tell you when you have days off so you can relax. On the bright side, you might have worked on days you didn't need to work on so many times that you could actually have like 3 or more months off just to make up the days you worked when your company forgot to tell you you had days off.

Insert overtime pay here!

so you just clocked in and nobody even noticed until 5 hours later? At my job, the timeclock is set up to only allow people who are scheduled for the day to clock in, and denies the attempt if you're scheduled off unless you get an override from a manager.
