Today, I went into my former workplace. While there, an ex-coworker told me that after I quit, they split my position into two separate jobs. When I worked there, my boss had told me to suck it up whenever I said there was too much work for just one person. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was told by a former coworker that my former boss still talks about me being lazy, ever since the time I refused to do a few things on third shift when there was me and 2 other people working. I haven't worked there in 3 months. FML
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 found out the position I thought I had earned by working hard was only to separate me from my coworkers because I "talked too much". Instead of addressing the issue like adults, I've essentially been put in time-out. FML
Today, I went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. FML
Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML
Today, I was demoted at work to a much harder and more time-consuming position because, I quote, "You have more experience." My boss is now telling the others I volunteered to be moved to the lower position. FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. 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 told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I went for a job interview. I'd resigned at my current job and applied for somewhere closer to home. They hired me on the spot, and as I was leaving, I saw my abusive ex-boyfriend working in the store. So… now I'm working alongside my ex who abused me for two years. Time to apply elsewhere. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to guess that you quitting is why they realised it does need more than one person. Hopefully you've got a better job now?

The good news: you're not there. The bad news: new folks have it better. The worst news: this kind of crap happens all the time!

This should be good news for your future employer. You have the ability to do two jobs at once! Good for them, bad for you.

Exactly why OP should never mention this in future interviews.

sounds like you must have been a rockstar at that job; take the experience, the good reference (hopefully), and get a better job

Your boss seems wonderful

Sometimes you need to exaggerate extravagantly for the sarcasm to be obvious, even then some miss it. Eg: Your ex-boss seems like such a wonderful personality, putting your need to be overworked ahead of all other petty considerations, like life.

Lol well I understood your sarcasm if that counts for anything

It happened to me after I quit my first job. However my boss was not a dick about it though and was paying me overtime. FYL indeed

Hopefully you will get a better paying job where your hard work and dedication is noticed OP. As well as you having a valid opinion. :) It's their loss.
