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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

So... After being accused of violating work privacy by poring on here and making your boss look dumb... You violate work privacy by posting on here and make your boss look dumb for not noticing the date the first FML was posted... As others have said... There's a really good chance you're fired if he reads this... Good luck.

Legally, he hasn't violated any kind of work place privacy. OP is anonymous and therefore unknown to the readers of FML. Therefore, we don't know where his workplace is, or who his boss is. It could easily be anyone. There would have been a problem if he mentioned any particular workplace. So OP's boss would have a really hard time proving to any reasonable person that OP violated any kind of privacy.

Why do you keep saying he didn't violate anything when the post clearly states that it is against their work policy? It doesn't matter if you don't use the company name or not. They can still fire you for it. It has happened to several people before.

It does not clearly say that it's against their policy. It says the OP was bitched out for violating "workplace privacy" which is not the same thing. A policy would be something written by the company and signed by the OP. What the boss is going on about is the idea that what happens at work stays at work. Basically the boss would have been just as pissed if they found out that the OP went home and complained about the situation to their significant other.

And your first thought was to immediately post on here with the chance of him seeing this???

Irony aside, I still think it's pretty funny. Plus how's his boss to prove it was him anyway? I don't think he legally can do anything about it as long as OP remains "Anonymous. "

Eh he could. His boss gets on this site and it'd be too big of a coincidence if he sees this post soon..now if it were weeks or months later then yeah probably not. Especially if there was someone else who witnessed the boss talking to his employee about this it could still possibly end up in termination.
