Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, our boss is upset at us because not one person is going to the Christmas party that she so kindly bought all the snacks and drinks for. She scheduled it for noon, on the 25th of december. CHRISTMAS DAY. Hell, no no one is going, they’ll be with their families, not voluntarily going to work. FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Today, I thought working through the holidays would mean little to do and the boss telling me stories all day. Actually, it meant having loads to do, while my boss was telling me stories regardless, effectively keeping me from doing the work he is paying me for. FML
Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML
Today, I found out that I have to work Christmas Day. There's no public transport running and taxis are triple fare. It'll cost me more getting to work than I'll actually earn during the shift. FML
Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML
Today, my work's annual Christmas party is at 3:00. Everyone in the office is off work at 2:00, except me and the boss who is staying 'til 4:00. I have been informed the boss is leaving early today to attend the Christmas party, but I need to lock up when I leave at 4:00. FML
Today, after telling my bosses how much I dislike the Christmas holiday, they assigned ME to organize and host a holiday party for our whole company, with a “Mariah Carey Christmas Karaoke.” I hate Christmas. FML
Today, MLK Jr. Day, I was told that since my other co workers are on vacation, I have to be at work Today. No one else is at work Today...or on any other holiday. Also I am the only black person at my office. The irony, FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Santa will probably take a shit down your boss's chimney. Merry Christmas to everyone.

If that were the case, why would the boss (who I assume knows what's best to do during a rush) skip out on this "wonderful Christmastime?"

Your boss sounds like an extreme idiot. I'm sorry that you have to work today, but hopefully you will be pulling in holiday pay! I also hope you get to spend an acceptable amount of time with your family. Try to make the most of it, OP!

What an asshole of a boss. Hopefully holiday pay is in effect for ya'!!

He's thinking like a BAWS! And this is why you should aspire to power: so you can **** over the little people, instead of getting ****** over.
GrahamAker 3
No just no. ******* people cause over people to **** over other people. I would hate to see you as my boss.
perdix 31
I wouldn't do that. That's why I'm an eternal cube monkey.

You, obviously, won't be running a company any time soon. Real BAWSES (misspelled purposely) lead by example.

#31 you're obviously not privy to Perdix's posts. Learn how to recognize trolling plix.

31- are you serious? Perdix would be the greatest boss ever. He'd come up with the most creative, strategic business plans ever!

Who can thumb down with all of this Christmas spirit?! There isn't a troll in the north pole ;)

Hopefully you have a sweet bossless workplace party going on right now.

errr which kind of a job is that works on a Sunday - Christmas, especially when it is a Bank holiday?
StreetReaper 9
Anyone who works in the public safety or public service sector. We don't shut down because of weekends and/or holidays.
FYLDeep 26
Banks are always looking for excuses to close. I feel like every time I drive to mine they have a sign up saying that they're closing sometime soon for some obscure holiday. Not to mention that even on the days they're open they're only open for shitty inconvenient hours. They definitely cater to the employees more than the customers. Banks are really a piss poor example of how your average company can get away operating.

Hospitals don't close up either. I am stuck working at one today, but I get double time, so I'm not complaining :p

Way to abuse the commas.
