Today, my boss bitched me out for violating workplace privacy, after he found an FML post from last year that eerily resembled a situation that happened the same year. He thought I posted it and twisted things to make him look like an idiot. I've never posted here in my life. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was a coworker's last day. Over the last 6 months, he has been talking smack about me because he assumed I'd ratted him out for a Facebook post, ranting about our place of employment. I decided to confront him after work to let him know that I didn't do it. He then reported me for harassment to all of my supervisors. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML
Today, my boss decided to post a photo of a piece of crap on Facebook. He tagged me in it. FML
Today, I found out my boss likes to shit talk about me when I'm not around. The best part is that I don't know what I've done to piss him off. FML
Today, my boss called me to his office, and played back a recording of me telling a co-worker that if I still worked there in a year, I would hang myself. He then bitched me out for unprofessional conduct. The taped conversation took place over a year ago, with my recently ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML
Today, my boss came into the office asked how I was doing and seemed totally normal and happy, then said, "I have to let you go. I heard some bad things about you." He wouldn't tell me what he heard, or from whom. FML
Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML
Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML
Today, my boss fired me for "fooling around" on my phone. I was looking for supplies for a surprise party we are throwing him for his birthday, and I didn't want to do it on my work computer because he has access to our history. Also, this happened during my lunch break. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe the boss will believe him since the FML says that he never posted previously.. It's a stretch, I know
Blackbiker_fml 7
Or even worse, he will probably think he did it just to secure an alibi. Remember Basic Instinct?
danimal_crackerz 26
Yes, but the profile will show the confirmed FML?
cornyrob 33
But what if he used a different account?
Arwen_Evenstar 37
He was anonymous on this one, even less proof!

HI his boss here. I kno it was yu now.
Blackhawk706 23
Well now you're ******

His boss already thought he posted. OP's just fulfilling the prophecy.
ForwardUn2Dawn 18
The final prophecy has been fulfilled! Praise be to the FML gods!
vikky538 29
OP is making his bosses nightmares come true

And so you decided the best thing to do was . . . Post this situation on FML after you know now he reads this site?
peacheso 31
OP is just setting himself up.
I_Like_Dogs 28
Well, it got accepted, so I guess it's worth it.
HeadlessSparrow 20
Well think about it. If OP responds to this FML, all the boss has to do is check OP's profile to see only 1 FML has been submitted, which is this one!
TheMathMajor 26
Or maybe it's one of OPs coworkers trying to set him up haha
Fairyjoshy 13
If he's gonna get yelled at for doing it when he didn't, might as well do it.

Well now you did post something so it's believable
jtfrisch 22
Well there's a first time for everything
majesticprincess 19
Have fun getting another talking to when he reads this lol

Well posting that here was not a smart move assuming that there's an ongoing report - this only adds further "evidence" or proof for your boss to take you down with. Is there a chance that it could've been a different employee who posted the situation to FML originally? Though I will say this is why reading the fine print is important. I work for a fast food restaurant and my policy states that I'm not allowed to work for certain competitors for the next 5-15 years which is kinda ridiculous in my opinion... It's important to know company policies for things like this (like talking about the company over social media).
SolarLunix 21
I can understand that in the Chemistry world and Biology world... But a fast food restaurant?, seriously? That's a ridiculous contract!
CSXIV 19
I'm pretty sure that's not legally enforceable; I think 90 days is as long as you can get and that's for a franchise owner.

The grocery store I used to work at made everyone sign a policy about complaining about the company, customers, or anything negative that could reflect back to the company. Anybody caught doing so was fired.
skyttlz 32
I've never heard of that policy. I know someone that quit Burger King for McDonalds. And one of my coworkers at Dominos used to work at Pizza Hut (the only two pizza delivery places in my town- competitors)

Wow, you're a special kind of stupid, aren't you? When you get fired, please know you 100% deserved it.
pooldude 24
How did he deserve it? He didn't post the FML in the first place. But even if he had, his boss's argument is invalid as he didn't break any workplace privacy laws. Wow, now YOU are a special kind of stupid, aren't you?
corky1992 33
He's stupid for posting on here after his boss clearly frowns upon it and actually a LOT of companies now are making employees sign policies about posting anything negative about the work place..considering this person was literally JUST talked to about it I'd say they're going to lose their job if the boss sees this.
chuka81 27
21, it would be bad if he posted something negative about the workplace if we knew OP or where he worked.
corky1992 33
That doesn't always matter though. Depending on the company policy they could have a problem with it. His boss clearly does if he brought up this site in the first place and then the guy went ahead and posted on here anyways. My old job no matter where you posted it, if caught you were terminated.
RedPillSucks 33
well, neither the company not the boss is specifically identified so I don't think it fits the legal situation to be enforcable
Arwen_Evenstar 37
They'd have to prove it was him. Well except I guess you have that whole thing in some states where you can be fired for no reason, is that indefinite? It's for 2 years in the UK.

#17...I'M stupid?? This person gets in trouble for a post their boss thought they wrote on this site and their immediate reaction is to go talk sh*t on the very site? Yeah, you're right. Great career move. I bet after their boss sees this they will get a huge promotion. *eye roll*
incoherentrmblr 22
#8 & 98, we get that it's ironic OP would come on here and make a post. Yes, any consequences that OP may face from now on are theirs to face. However, the boss assumed OP posted that past posting. On top of that, it was a year ago. None of which proves that OP posted the original FML that the boss read in the first place. If OP is fired, OP can call for wrongful termination. Either way, it's bullsh** the accusations that OP is facing...
bapbap_fml 15
Johnson, you're fired!
dansco 25
So to prove you didn't post here you posted here. Genius move and say goodbye to your job if he finds this. Silly.
buckstop1 37
Actually if OP follows up, his boss can look at OP's follow up, and see how many FML's that he has posted.
