Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a huge amount of work to get through. Two colleagues offered to help, because one had nothing else to do, and the other couldn't work until I was done. My boss got really pissed at me for "making" them do my job and wasting their time. FML
Today, I got written up at work over false accusations that I didn't do some safety tasks. The same tasks that were done before I had even arrived. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I got in trouble with my boss for doing what she wanted me to do. I guess she didn't think I would do it, so she did it herself. FML
Today, I got written up at work for a mistake I did not even do, and that I even helped solve. FML
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I had something similar happen to me. I was helping another staff member collect the trash bags from bins. She said she'd do it and for me to hand her the bags and take the trash. My (now ex) boss came out and accused me of doing no work. The lady stuck up for me and said to me when he walked off that he's going to be difficult with me. She wasn't wrong. Some bosses/managers are assholes on power trips. You can't do anything right in their eyes.

That a slippery slope of a actuation your boss made there.

If she was helping that would indicate that you were still also mopping too, the boss is either blind or extremely irrational.

Offer to help your boss out and then accuse them of being lazy. Sorry op :( I hope things get better at your job.

Did you stop working to let her do it or is your boss just a stupid prick? I mean if you made it look like you weren't working it is partially your fault. If you just have an idiot for a boss then fyl

That's lame to give you a write up on it, but your boss may have been upset that you did give your task to someone else, most likely its an ego thing on their part . The boss told YOU to mop so if you didn't and the boss had to observe someone else doing it for you they will either think youre lazy incompetent or defiant. Not necessarily fair but that's what FML is for. Best of luck

That's horrible! Whenever there's a misunderstanding as such, make sure to correct it! Show up ready to work early tomorrow, even if you don't have anything planned to show that you are in fact NOT lazy, and explain what happened!! No one can turn you down unless they aren't human, and I'm sure that changes for the best will be made. Good luck!

Your boss is a moron and you'll never be able to please them. I suggest keeping an eye out for a new job just in case.
