Today, some of my coworkers have complained that I don't do my share of the work, though they can't specify exactly what I'm not getting done. Apparently, being too efficient and finishing first means I mustn't have done anything at all. The supervisor sided with them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, I was scolded by my boss, all because I can finish most tasks in a quarter of the time it takes him, and he doesn't want to be shown up. FML
Today, I had a huge amount of work to get through. Two colleagues offered to help, because one had nothing else to do, and the other couldn't work until I was done. My boss got really pissed at me for "making" them do my job and wasting their time. FML
Today, I discovered that my supervisor has been submitting completed projects to our manager on time for everyone on the team but me. She has been deliberately making it appear as though I am weeks behind on my projects, when in reality I am one of the first ones done every month. FML
Today, I got chewed out by my boss. Why? Because my coworkers haven't gotten their work done. Now I have to scan them their work for them to complete it. FML
Today, my co-workers decided in our meeting with my boss that everything is my fault. When asked for examples, they couldn't come up with any. Now they are mad at me, because I'm apparently good at my job. FML
Today, my supervisor’s first words when looking at my work were, “What is this shit?!” I explained that I'd done it exactly like she told me to. She just kept on grumbling because she couldn’t find a single thing I had done wrong, which apparently ruined her day. FML
Today, I was complaining to my friend how I was doing all the work in my group, and that they were getting all the credit. Her response? "It's OK, you're doing a shitty job anyway." 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
Today, my job as a supervisor has become increasingly ridiculous because one employee doesn't want to do the tasks I give her. My supervisor tells me to keep working with her and giving her work. When she goes directly to him, he tells her she doesn't have to do them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Surely you have evidence of all the work you have done. Just rub that under their noses and make them eat their words.

Do they not pay attention to productivity? What kind of company is this?

Does anyone else think that maybe if everyone is ganging up on OP, he might be the cause of the issue? Like being a cocky asshole to them to work faster? It's just speculation, but so is everything else. It's important to remember on FML that we only get one side of the story.

Well thats a shame that your work ethic cannot be appreciated. Maybe consider getting a new job where efficiency is rewarded rather than penalized. There are countless companies that would cherish a quick worker like yourself. Best of luck to you OP.

You should definitely look around for a job where your efficiency is appreciated.

"Well, maybe you idiots could get more done if you spent less time talking about all the other coworkers you want to ****."

I would like to hear from your co-workers what they have to say, i mean, if you are the only one who considers you are efficient and even your boss (who has the last word on this) says that you are not well then something is missing in the picture. So please step back and try to see what they see, maybe they are not telling everything that is wrong with you.

Unfortunatly thats the way of the world these days. They prefer you procastinate for 5 out of 8 hours and pretend like you're busy, rather than finish in 4 and go home early..

apologize, tell them you have seen the error of your ways, and then work slower than everyone else ;)

Walk into your supervisors office with the huge stack of paperwork you've gotten done the past week. (Unless you're paperless, but slamming a laptop down is less dramatic than a massive pile of papers crashing down on their desk with the sheer force of gravity)
