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.
Same thing different taste
Testing
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
Unionize!
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
Corporate logic
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
Chill?
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

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.

The CRT monitor hater doth protest too much, methinks.

You had motive and opportunity. If you didn't Make It Happen On Purpose, you Let It Happen On Purpose. Haven't you learned anything from the 9/11 Truth-tellers?
TheDrifter 24
Wait, in the spirit of 9/11 truth tellers, shouldn't the monitor have withstood the impact? It's Big Brother framing you Op.
perdix 31
Yes, I think the OP ought to submit to his boss the Cheech & Chong song, "I Was Framed" as evidence that proves his innocence. That oughta work!

Look at the bright side: If you're ever reinstated, they will have to give you a new monitor

That sucks OP. Next time don't make it known that you hate it so much because it is a perfect opportunity to frame you. Any co-workers that you've had an argument with recently? People these days...

They shouldn't be able to suspend you without proof

#16- Ha! The (especially American) workplace becomes more and more corrupt each year. Unfairness is no longer an argument, and the legal systen favors those with more money. If you're not on top, you lose. Sad but true. Often makes me wonder what has become of the world.

^I agree wholeheartedly with this. I lost my last job because "I was a good employee but didn't meet the expectations of the job". Made no damn sense and I never received any feedback to indicate I was going in the wrong direction. Ah, the beauty of at will employment.

75, I had a friend who got fired from her job. Luckily, she lives in a state with unlawful termination laws, so she could sue (for racism, sexual harrassment, and more!). Unfortunately, she only ended up getting $6000 after being tied up in the legal system for 3 years. It makes me mad thinking about it, because she went through unjust treatment, and, on top of that, couldn't get a job for two years afterwards.

Lawyers. Get lawyers involved.
perdix 31
Naw, get a PI to find the true culprit. Magnum is a good one, or the teenagers from Scooby Doo. Those meddling kids always win.
The_Hitdude 12
That stupid dog too. ******* Great Danes, always messing shit up....
DocBastard 40
Yes, but only if you plan on smashing the lawyers the same way you smashed your monitor.
phatdaddy62 23
You doctors always want to smash us lawyers. Until your wives want to divorce you and take all your stuff!
NoFeet 4
I thumbed this down JUST because your picture creeped me out.

Easier said than done. A new job in this economy plus a boss that's not an ass? Impossible.

One does not simply find a job nowadays... They aren't just laying around and you can be like, "oh lookie there! A job!"
