Today, I found out that the 20% pay cut that the "management team" took at my job really only applied to... me. I also found out that my closest friend at work has been lying to me about it, and telling my boss everything I say. His pay was never cut. I guess it pays to be the boss's snitch. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Today, I found out via a voicemail from my boss that my hours are being cut. He said, "They said I can't fire you, so you'll only be getting 20 hours a week. Starting today." Who'd they give my other 20 hours to? The one person that calls off sick almost daily and is never on time. FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML
Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I found out that after three years of telling my boss our strategy wasn't going to work, that I was right - it didn't work. I also found out that because it didn't work, I lost my job. My boss still has his. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I found out my reward for topping three of the four employee performance charts was a paycut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When you quit your job, don't give your two weeks'. Just take all the rest of your vacation and after that, stop showing up.

NO! That's never good for an employment record! No matter how much you hate the job, never just walk out!

If you were being paid enough before that your wage COULD be cut 20%, I can't feel sorry for you.

Any wage can be cut 20%. If you're being paid $10/hr., that means you're reduced to $8/hr. If you're being paid $8/hr., you're reduced to $6.4/hr. If you're being paid $6.4/hr., you're reduced to $5.12/hr. Shall I go on?

...Is your job the same as your "friends"? Because I'm pretty sure that's illegal, particularly if you are a female/minority group. Methinks I can smell a lawsuit :D But even so, it's dog eat dog. Only say things about your job/boss that you would say if he/she is in the room with you.

Just act like it's okay. Then slowly, deliberately feed your "friend' some kind of misinformation that will make him look like a liar. YDI for trusting co-workers.

60%FYL and 40%YDI. Find a new job, a new friend, and learn to keep your complaints about work outside of the work place. There is ALWAYS a co-worker that has a big mouth.
