Today, I got my new work schedule. I really need the hours. The boss says he can't give me more because the economy is bad. However, he did find enough hours to hire his son last week. This week? Most of my hours were erased and given to the new employee; his daughter. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I once again got less than 20 hours of work for the entire week. My boss's solution? Double the staff. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML
Today, my boss told me I have to start work 4 hours early tomorrow, because that my coworker, who happens to be his son, will not be coming in because he's "too tired". I work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week without complaining. His son works two 4-hour shifts a week. FML
Today my boss informed us that there were no more single shifts we were all working doubles until further notice. Also there’s a way for us to “earn” a half day but we have to out sell everyone else in the office to get it. So being new I haven’t had time off in two weeks... FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. 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, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes. She then cut back my hours so much that I now only work one day a week. I got the job in the first place to pay for my college classes. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I went in to work to check my new schedule for the week. I searched up and down and didn't see my name listed. After talking to my manager, he decided it would be easier to "release" me than remake a new schedule. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He doesn't seem favoritive at all... Sucks even more if it's a small business since there's virtually no one to contact to complain to.

Like the OP will get anywhere with the BBB, but I guess it's worth a shot.

legal but completely unfair! the economy is bad so he forgets others for his kids.. what an effing jerk. other ppl meed jobs too

How the **** is that unfair? In tough times, the guy gives priority to those who mean most to him. That's what people have been doing since the dawn of man, and for pretty damn good evolutionary reasons. If the OP had some marketable skills, she wouldn't be so easily replaceable.

It could also be a Family business... in which case it wouldn't make sense NOT to give his kids more hours....

Unemployment benefits have been extended to over a year. I think they stand at about 60 weeks now. Their are already plans to extend them more.

OP should apply for partial unemployment benefits. If he isn't getting the hours he was hired on for, anyway. And yes, contact the Department of Labor over that illegal discrimination. I have seen this happen, and it sucks. FYL.

@Snickerdoodle. What good is a job if you get no hours? I'd rather get paid to look for a better job, aka unemployment... time to get fired.

He is acting perfectly reasonably given the economy... if it is not legal, it definitely should be. Everyone should be able to hire whoever he wants for whatever reason. "Labour board" sounds like something out of USSR. Of course, it sucks to be on the losing end of free market, so FYL

yeah Russia is doing really well with capitalism.
