Today, I found out that whenever a mistake is made at my work, my boss assumes that it was me, unless indicated otherwise, but he has never said anything to me about it because of my 'learning disorder'. I don't have a learning disorder. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out why I'm always let off easy when I do something wrong at work. They think I have a mental handicap. I don't. I'm just clumsy and forgetful. FML
Today, I found out that several coworkers had been complaining about me behind my back for a couple of weeks, including to my manager. When my manager finally brought the issue up to me, he realized that I hadn’t done anything wrong; there was an error in our computer system. Nobody has apologized. FML
Today, I found out about a mistake I made at work when the director brought it up in an all-staff meeting, including staff from a different office. It was the first I time I'd heard about it - along with everyone else. Not as fun as it sounds. FML
Today, I discovered a large number of errors at my new job, wrote them down, and took them to my boss. Later, a coworker had a shout at me, because he was "saving them" so he could drip feed them to the boss, and look like he was always catching mistakes. FML
Today, my boss shouted and screamed at me for my fuck ups that have humiliated the company and cost thousands to put right. It was only when he paused that I was able to tell him he had the wrong guy, he wanted my coworker down the hall. I’ve been here for four years and he still doesn’t know my name. FML
Today, my boss accused me of pursuing a project without his permission that he "wouldn't have approved." I DID get his permission, but he has early Alzheimer's and doesn't remember. He gets upset when anyone suggests that he's misremembering, so all I could do was apologize for not doing something I definitely did. FML
Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML
Today, I thought our CEO had clearly stated that I will only be focusing on my job, and all other stuff will not be my problem. Apparently, I was wrong, because I still get blamed for all the other departments' mistakes, even though I don't manage them. He does. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML
Today, I found out that absentmindedly correcting my boss's use of the word "whom" could result in my immediate termination. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow that's mean of the boss to just assume that. And even if you did have a learning disorder, it doesn't make you totally incompetent and unable to be told of your mistakes. I have a learning disorder, and aside from extra services in school that many kids have, I am a perfectly normal, relatively smart student, and if I make a mistake I expect someone to address it to me.

Smartness fail. Do something to show him you can beat that mouse in a race through a maze!

No, don't. This is actually a blessing in diguise. Now, the OP can make any sort of mistake he wants, and blame on his imaginary "disorder." Didn't finish the report on time? Opps, must be my ADD. He can't fire you because then he'd have to answer the question of "How did someone with a mental disorder get hired?"

That's really offensive, people with mental disorders have to right to work like everyone else. There are lots of people who have ADD. You're very ignorant.

Of course you don't have a learning disorder. The person with the disorder is always the last one to know. But at least now you know.

Haha that's hilarious. I guess your boss must think you're pretty tarded to not talk to you. In anycase, that's a good thing, cause you can be like, "Durrrrr, wat up boss? Can I hasz me a cheeseburger?"

Its a learning disorder... not metal retardation. Do dyslexic people talk like that? No. Maybe you should think a bit before you talk.
