Today, I woke up to a voicemail from my manager saying I had the day off. Excited, I made plans with my friends. A few minutes ago I got a call from my other manager yelling at me for not showing up, and the original manager revealed he had me confused with another girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, I got roped into work on my day off because the two new guys weren't showing up. My boss promised that I would get tomorrow off if I did, so I said okay. However, as soon as I came in and got all ready to go, guess who came in? FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
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, sleeping in a little late, I was woken up by my phone. Still tired, I quickly checked the display to realize it was my girlfriend calling. I pick up the phone saying, "Hey baby girl!" She seemed pretty startled, so I double-checked and realized it was my new boss, who has the name as my girlfriend. 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
Today, I went in for my second day working at my internship. My bosses greeted me and told me we were going to have a meeting. The meeting was about the drunk voicemails I left them on Saturday. 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 got a call from the Hollister manager yelling at me for not showing up for work that night. I was never informed I got the job. I missed my first day of work. FML
Today, because the two other managers decided to go on a spa day together, I had to stay at work despite the fact I spent most of the day throwing up in the bathroom. They called me to say what a good day they had. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If the boss confesses to making a mistake, you should be forgiven

Good grief, one should think a bit of internal communication isn't too much to ask before they start yelling at the employees.

Nice punctuation usage.

The only thing he missed out, really, was a full-stop. Otherwise, I don't see the need to put in commas or anything, since I don't read that sentence with any pauses. Therefore, it's a bit pointless to get on his case about it, since a lot of people don't bother to put a period in their last sentences. It's not a huge crime.

Full stops are important though. I was reading his comment and suddenly I ran out of words. Very confusing.

28, if ten words make you run out of breath, you probably should see a doctor.

I ran out of words not air. I don't smoke that much.

Well in all aspects you have the voicemail for your advantage and protection. Your boss is acting a fool.

Your Boss is an ass.

Talk to both managers & if there is still a problem. Call HR & show them the voicemail. You don't deserve to get fired.

Bet you wished you let voicemail pick up for that last call. :P The next day: "Oops, sorry boss, I didn't hear that last message."

I would have called to confirm. Just saying.

This makes sense, at least to those who care about their jobs, or paying their bills.... Those that don't live with mommy.

I'm an adult with grandchildren and a job I've had for over 20 years. If I get a voicemail from my boss saying I have the day off I'm not going to call to confirm it. Her boss should have left her a voicemail asking her to call him/her and then tell her she had the day off. This would have saved on the confusion.

I'm so glad I only have one manager to answer to.

Yeah, I would have called to confirm, or at least find out why I wasn't working.
