Today, I nearly got written up at work for missing an important memo. The memo was sent to everyone via the company Facebook group and not by our e-mail system. My manager could hardly believe people exist who have no Facebook account and have no intention of making one. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. FML
Today, I got a write up from HR because the new boss says we have to check our e-mail everyday, and I missed checking my e-mail for one single day. FML
Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. 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 yelled at me for ignoring emails on my day off. Our emails are only accessible from work desktops, so I’d have had to be at my desk to answer it, which I had to explain to him 3 times before he understood. This is what happens when CEO’s promote their nephews to middle management. FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Today, my boss used our communal notebook to bitch out our entire department for not leaving a note notifying her that one of the machines was down. She wrote it on the same page as the note I left saying that one of the machines was down. 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, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML
Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

tell your boss he needs to send it via FML

Your boss seems very unprofessional. Honestly, a company relying on Facebook messenger to keep employees in contact does not seem all too appealing to work for.

No worries OP my manager at work doesnt even have a facebook. He hates the drama and doesnt like to have social media . Youre not alone

That sounds like a shitty, unprofessional job. I'm sorry but if I worked somewhere where I was expected to have a Facebook I would quit & find a more professional job. Facebook is garbage.

YDI In a society where pretty much everything is based off of social media, just make a FaceBook

Seems like a silly way to operate a company, hopefully they have a competent HR department.

Tell your boss under no circumstances will you have f.b. It is a major time suck and you could give two ***** less wtf someone had for dinner or their stupid selfies fishing for compliments. Tell them to send it in a professional manner or you won't be receiving it.

If your company has active group on facebook and use it as method of communication, then you sort of deserve it. Refusing to have an account to make some sort of point, on a website your company actively uses, is not going to help you in the workplace.

Agreed at least a work only account. Lot's of people have social media and it's convenient to share it with everyone at once especially some don't regularly check mail and spam filters ect... Personal guidelines are all well and good, but if it's required by management to make things more efficient you have to fall in line.

Good grief. About 1 billion people are on Facebook. That's one seventh of the population.
