Today, I arrived at work, only to find my computer's massive CRT monitor had been smashed up beyond belief. Everyone else has flat-screen monitors, and I'd made no secret of how unfair it is to me. According to my boss, this makes me the obvious culprit, and now I'm suspended. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it’s my second week at work. I received a phone call from corporate HQ that they wanted to make our monitors wireless, so they wanted me to cut the red wire from the main monitors. I did so, and my boss walks in, furious. Turns out it was a set up to see if I’m “that gullible.” Yes, I was fired. FML
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Today, at work, my boss went to the single-stall bathroom on our floor. The next thing I know, I'm on suspension pending review because some asshole left an upper-decker in the toilet. Since I'm the office prankster, all suspicion is now on me. I've been framed by my own colleagues. FML
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML
Today, at my workplace, I saw a system crashing. I mean literally, my manager was throwing my colleague's laptop at him while shouting around the office. This is only my second day. FML
Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML
Today, I was called into the office and suspended due to allegations made by a coworker of poor work performance. Yesterday, I received a certificate praising my work performance. I might be dismissed at any moment. FML
Today, my boss sent a message to a coworker saying, "We're putting all of you back on the phones because one of you can't stop watching Netflix so corporate thinks you guys don't do anything." That person was me. Everyone's pissed at me now. FML
Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks OP. Better than being fired though. But why would he think you would be dumb enough to break your own monitor? You would only be affecting your work ability.

Maybe who ever it is will own up. Walking around with that kind of guilt is awful, but then some people are just awful.

CRT's aren't bad at all besides their size. They have better color quality and any resolution is native compared to only one specified for LCD's.

Just what I was thinking. It was probably the boss getting back at you for complaining.

Someone should have been monitoring the premises.

@Pentium...idk dude. I have a 1080i crt tv and its good, colors are excellent, black is BLACK; however the LG in the living room is much much sharper. Have you seen AMOLED? That holds lots of promise in color correction problems. Only $9000 hahaha

Because OP's boss is either stupid or to damn lazy to look for the actual culprit.

Or so she could get a newer one...not that it was her but that's what any boss would think.

OP should download "Boss" from the Appstore, it really helps ;)

Well OP it does kinda make sense. If OP was complaining about not getting a flat screen and OPs monitor ended up killed then you kinda begin to wonder…

Someone did you a favor and smashed it so you could get a new one. I guess they didn't think your boss would've suspected you. It makes sense that your boss would, though.

My thoughts exactly. At least his boss didn't steal his stapler too.

23 I just saw that movie for the first time yesterday, very funny stuff. Op maybe your boss just hates you, I mean you're the only one with an old ass computer. Your boss is probably looking for a reason to fire your ass.
