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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I get that a lot where I work. It's probably because you were actually competent and hard-working and your replacement(s) were terrible. Employers really abuse our best qualities, it's a shame that employees give so much only to be used and abused. FYL!

I know exactly how you feel. I get the same thing at work. It's cause you were able to multi task effectively. And the yahoos still working at your old place of employment are not as capable. Sadly the good workers are often overlooked and not very often appreciated. Hope you win lotto so you never gave to work again.

They're doing the same with a few positions where I work, firing all current supervisors and dividing their work among new and cheaper employees

At last count, there were 3 people doing parts of my former job duties. Several months after I left, I got a call testing my interest in coming back. Um - I left for a 42% increase in base salary, regular annual raises, OT pay, a SANE work environment, looser deadlines, less stress, and much better benefits. I just laughed and laughed and laughed.

Been there. Done that-more than once. It just proves how good you were at your job that they had to hire two people to replace you.
