Today, I got chewed out by my boss for not doing my job. Turns out what's described in my job description, contract, and job title isn't my job. My real job is outlined in the footnote of my contract. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got chewed out by my boss. Why? Because my coworkers haven't gotten their work done. Now I have to scan them their work for them to complete it. 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, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. 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 found out that I'm not getting a new position I applied for at my company. Now, I have to continue working for my boss, who recently severely criticized my spelling in my reports, only they weren't my reports, and when I pointed this out, she simply never responded. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML
Today, I was fired without warning from my job because I was not consulting my boss about things like washing dishes and throwing away garbage. Basically, I was fired for being too good at my job. FML
Today, due to being stressed and overwhelmed by my tasks, I made a mistake and completed a few of my colleagues' tasks as well. When I informed my boss about it, he said that I did an outstanding job, but I shouldn't have messed with other people's documents. As a result, my promised raise is cancelled. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I corrected him after he misspoke during a meeting. FML

Did they not train you and show you what you were supposed to be doing when you started?

Well people should really read any legally binding document in their entirety. I know that it's not something many people scrutinize in great detail and is highly misleading and not very good work practice but realistically you need to read and understand any documents you're signing- and if you don't understand have someone look over the documents who can advise if you're signing your soul away into slavery.

Really?? They expect people to read the footnotes to find valuable information??

Where I come from job descriptions must be accurate. Might be worth looking into if things go south.

Well it doesn't help us. You didn't tell us what you're doing now opposed to what you should be doing.

Hope you get fired because you suck at your job. Next time let's hope your boss can hire someone who can read and understand

Footnotes aren't supposed to contain important information like that. They're supposed to use for clarifying or reference points. The job description shouldn't be in the footnotes.

why would someone add anything important to a spot where stuff that is linked to something else? I mean I.e. Wikipedia article read s Justin bieber and the whole article is really miley cyrus both celebrities no one likes
