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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my supervisor told me off for doing something. When I reminded her that she told me to do it, she yelled at me for correcting her. 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, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. 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 went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. 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 called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, someone I work with embarrassed me in front of everyone in my job; because I wasn’t doing something the way she liked during our meeting this morning. I ended up crying in front of my boss. FML

But if she ended up doing it herself, that meant it wasn't yet done right? So you didn't end up doing what she wanted you to do...? Right? This fml is very confusing

Why would she tell you to do something if she's just going to do it herself?

I can think of a few micro-managing, controlling bosses I've had that aren't happy until they've done it themselves or at least chipped in on the task (and usually stuffed it up in the process). Perhaps this is one of those bosses.

She either re-did it, OR she did the same thing (like printing things off, etc.) so they did it twice.

The boss may not have explained to OP how they wanted it done. Happens at my job all the time

Depending on what the task was, it's very possible to replicate someone's work without realizing it until later.

I'm reading this as you did what your boss wanted & she redid it because she didn't expect it to get done.

This is really vague I need you to elaborate. What did she want you to do?

I understand why she didn't want to do it now.
