Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, despite the schedule saying I was off, I found out I’m supposed to be working because my boss changed the schedule without my knowledge. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". 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, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, I got up at 3:15 a.m. to be ready for work at 5 a.m. I get to my work station to find absolutely no work to do. After talking with my boss, I was sent home with no pay. If I'd been employed there 3 weeks longer, I would've been paid for 4 hours. FML
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, my boss sprang a company workshop on us that I was not informed of, which kept me at work until 10 PM. He expected us all back at 8 AM the next day to continue. On a good day it takes me 3 hours to commute. I got written up for being 10 minutes late to the workshop, after getting up at 4 AM to get there. FML
Today, I was chastised by the CEO in the middle of a management meeting for showing up late to work every day, despite being in my office before 9:00am every morning. It was my 5th day on the job and no one had bothered to tell me that the office opens at 8:00am, and not 9:00am. FML
Today, I got roped into work on my day off because the two new guys weren't showing up. My boss promised that I would get tomorrow off if I did, so I said okay. However, as soon as I came in and got all ready to go, guess who came in? FML
Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML

9 and 14, are you guys are actually sympathizing more with a person who is complaining about having to be somewhere at 6 AM versus someone who doesn't have a job?!
MrSassypants 34
No, it is because he's basically like "you can't complain about that because my situation is worse." Someone is always going to be worse off, but that doesn't mean people can't complain.

This is why I'm anti social. you people are assholes. Good luck finding a new job #5, and OP at least you got more hours in an already undercut position toward hours, do something fun with the extra cash. Or pay bills, or whatever you want, I don't tell you how to live your life :) Everyone else, just be nice to each other, it's not that hard.

I'm not antisocial. I'm selectively social. But I sort of understand what you're going on about.

The same thing pretty much happened to me this morning. I went in at 6am, like my normal start time, but my coworkers forgot to tell me we weren't meeting till 7:30am today. I was able to leave though and get breakfast. Sorry OP. But like the others have said, it's either more hours, or you get off early.

He didn't get off early. He had to stay an extra hour and work 10 hours

Get to work, get paid, and if you're lucky, you'll also get paid overtime. Think positive.
