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

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

You were expecting to be to work at 6 anyway, so as long as you got paid it's not like your day went any differently than you had anticipated. I don't see why it's a big deal.

Depends on the job but where I work it's the employees responsibility to make sure to check the schedule. but if You worked the day before and it's changed since then they should have let you known.

That does suck but at least you do have work. People are sometimes told, oh just sit around & lose money (which didn't happen to you) or whatnot. Inconvenient to you yes but really the most you lose here is a little sleep & bad communication with your boss

Well you better get paid.

Same thing has happened to me. Except I thought I worked at 6:45am. Turns out I didn't work til 3:15pm. So I drove 20minutes to work for nothing. Then I got home and couldn't sleep. When I went back at 3:15 they didn't even need me. But felt too bad to send me home. I feel your pain. It's terrible!

Yeah, I wouldn't have even been able to sleep if I had been able to go home.
