Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML
Today, my boss asked me to pick up more waitressing shifts because we are short-staffed. I already work seven days a week. FML
The value of labor
Today, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
TFI Friday
Today, I started a new job. The hours are long, but I didn't mind as I could REALLY use the overtime. Turns out, they don't pay over time. I'm just expected to go "above and beyond for the company." FML
Management 101
Today, I once again got less than 20 hours of work for the entire week. My boss's solution? Double the staff. FML
Today, my boss asked me to work over the entire weekend. That would be fine if I didn't already work a 60 hour week. He also said the extra hours on the weekend wouldn't be paid. FML
Get off your ass
Today, my boss told me I have to start work 4 hours early tomorrow, because that my coworker, who happens to be his son, will not be coming in because he's "too tired". I work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week without complaining. His son works two 4-hour shifts a week. FML
Time to unionize
Today, my job announced we will be working mandatory 7 days a week for the next 6 weeks, maybe longer. There goes my summer. FML
Girl Bossing
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Taking the mickey
Today, exactly 19 seconds after I logged on, my boss Zoom-called me to let me know 3 people are out sick, probably until Monday, so if I wouldn’t mind doing their work as well so we don’t fall behind, within working hours, no overtime available. He wasn’t happy when I told him no. FML

sry if this upsets you sirin or other mods (I only name sirin cause I've seen her around bunch of posts lately), but this idiot is a retard above me ^^

Let me just say, you are the retard with your bad grammar. Even Yoda would frown upon your grammar ignorance.

I go to school for grammar. I'm on an iPod, so typing with one index finger is annoying enough and I don't want to worry about it. I use texting language when I'm pretty sure people can understand me just as well.

That must explain the "him" part then!

This idiot is a retard above me...that's what I'm talking about.

I deleted that argument above, 'cause it was irritating the shit out of me. No offence taken.

I don't blame you. I'm happy so long as I don't get banned... haha sry for above misunderstanding. ( I won't blame you if you delete this comment either sirin)

39 - You have a better chance of not getting deleted if you clean up your grammar and spelling. Just saying.

you wern't here 4 the argument but I made it clere y gramer nd speling I dont care about on my ipod. I'm sry if it upsets u.

so... isn't that better? or just tell him you need less hours
ashtonTS 0
how is that better you idiot? Or did you miss the whole 2AM part?
VianaJ_Garcia 14
Well, she wanted less work hours. She got it.
beren456 1
ever heard of sleeping during the day? what about night guards who work from 11 pm to 8 am? they work a good 45 hours a workweek, but the OP probably isn't a night guard. going from 70 hours to 60 in any job at any time is better

those taco bell night shifts are a mess huh OP?

What about not everyone being physically capable of switching their sleep schedule like that or sleeping in the daytime. Thanks for your input Superman.
beren456 1
ok, so say it nicely. I guess someone (you) can't handle the fact that some people are capable of doing it in markets like this. if he/she needs the job I'm sure they'll work something out.
LexxyLiime 0
well at least she got less hours.. my mom goes to work at 5pm and comes back at 3am, that also sucks I guess..

Sorry that I happen to need my sleep since I'm an IB and AP student in high school. I get about 2-3 hours of sleep a night due to hw. So dont talk to me like I'm ignorant or incapable.
beren456 1
I have no idea what IB is but don't talk to me about AP. So am I. and I only have about 2-3 hours of hw a day. there's something wrong with your work ethic if you are only getting 2-3 hours of sleep. I give exceptions to trips and/or sporting events far away (or out of country perhaps
ashtonTS 0
IB is International Baccalaureate, and it's about 3x as hard as AP, and about 3x the work too. So 2-3 hours of sleep is accurate.

Nice dick measuring there.

I'm going to ignore your idiotic comment...I feel sorry for you and your worthlessness.

Just pointing out what the argument looked like to me. No need for a personal attack.

Ashton you're a moron, kill yourself. This person tdi because it's ops fault for choosing a job like that.
sammy92 0
so much anger dude^^ u need a vacation or like I said before, u need to get laid!
ashtonTS 0
Maybe they had little choice otherwise. Did I tell you to kill yourself? No, so you made yourself out to be a bigger ass than me. Proud of yourself now?

oh and that was @ Ashton XP

IB is not harder than AP. AP is basically the same work in half the time since it's in 1 year and IB is in 2.
romano07 0
lmfao IB is not harder at all, and getting 2-3 hours of sleep is your own damn fault! the time youre using on FML can just as well be used to take well needed nap or do some more homework Rhys cutting into your sleep schedule. All my friends are in IB and they still get around 8 hours of sleep. so maybe you should do less of why you're doing that cuts into your sleep time and get the cork out of your ass, don't you think?
Susieee_Q 9
^ That's what I was thinking. Ashton, you're bitching about only sleeping 2-3 hours a night (which I'm not saying you don't, & makes sense considering you've been acting like something crawled up your ass & died probably due to sleep deprivation), but you spend your free time arguing on FML about how "hard" your life is instead of just going to sleep? Valid argument there....

Ooh! Sirin is buying us all cocaine?! Cool.
5t3ff1k4h 47
15 - You're right. Not everyone is physically capable of changing their sleep schedule like that; I'm certainly not capable of it. I end up getting sick every single time that happens. It's something very similar to jet lag at first, and then I catch a cold or something else bothersome. Mind you, places like McDonalds don't give a shit and will still schedule you for midnights (in my case, every weekend...) despite that. Thank god I'm out of there.

Ashton, you are a literal idiot. High school is not that hard for you to only get 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Trust me, I graduated second in my class of around 170 kids and got a full night's sleep every night, unless I worked. Just wait until you get to college big boy, it's much harder than high school and since you don't sleep much now, you'll be sleeping hardly any. Therefore, you'll be sleep deprived and won't be able to focus on anything and you'll have to drop out and become a fry cook at Mickey D's :/ I have faith in you being able to do this, though. You'll have no responsibility and be able to sleep whenever you're not at work :D
5t3ff1k4h 47
108 - Not exactly true in all cases. I'm currently sleeping more, on average, than I had during high school. I am in college. I do find that the work load for my first semester was pretty low; this semester is ridiculous and I'm constantly doing 2-4 hours of homework every night. No, I am not taking a hard program. It is a general program. TL;DR - Everybody's situation is different.

He only cut 10 hours?! What kind of douche do you work for?

ten hours n plus looking the timings the douche gave 2 am u frkin kidding me
WallyTheWombat 0
Op just needs to change his/her sleep schedule. it's easier than it sounds. Plus if op is getting paid overtime, he/she must be making some serious cash. If your boss needs you to work that badly, you can probably get a raise.
ImaginaryFoe 1
It's really not the boss's fault or problem. If OP needs to take leave, he should fill out the paperwork and take it. The boss's concern is having someone to take care of the work that needs to be done. If you can't handle the job, OP, get a different one. If you have a valid disability claim for stress leave, file.

If you worked for me and complained, I'll look for another employee. Work harder and stop complaining or you'll stay at the bottom

You're a douchebag, go to hell. It's from stress, cut him some slack and get a life youmoron.

I kind of agree. If you aren't willing to do it, there is always someone else who will. Even if those hours are ridiculous, you gotta suck it up.

Nice hair cut, proactive works. Don't work for me

The economy sucks right now, if OP doesn't like the hours someone else will take them. I'd be happy to have any job right now
docscientist 10
If the economy sucks so bad and you're willing to do any job, then become a prostitute. There are always openings to fill. Some people still like to maintain some balance in their lives by not working the majority of it.
iloveboyswittats 10
I'm not desperate enough to become a prostitute yet. I live off my scholarships and financial aid but it would be nice to have some spending money. I have one college degree already and I can't even get hired to wait tables or wash dishes. It kinda sucks.

Nice, 70/60hour weeks and shifts starting at 2am, are you in the military? Cause otherwise I think there's labor laws to help you out.
