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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

What the boss is doing sucks but is perfectly legal. How imbecilic do you need to be to fail to comprehend that picking one employee over another is 100% legal if not done out of racism etc?? There's NOTHING in the law against hiring your kids. Especially if it's a family company, though we don't know if it's the case. Nepotism SUCKS hard, but it's perfectly legal in most cases. And quite frankly, OP is a complete moron for assuming that when the economy is bad, the boss will pick her over his own children for no effing reason!!

Also it's probly the boss being polite blaming the economy when he's meaning to say you suck at your job let me bring in my kid to pick up your slack. So get ready to find a new job 'cause he's cleaning house and planning to get rid of you anyways. He must of been eating dinner with his family talking shit about you and the kids said I'll work there 'till you can replace that lazy ass! Sorry to be right!

Has it crossed your mind that you might suck at your job? FYL, but YDI if you are just mediocre at your job. They're probably going to train her to replace your ass since you asked for more hours.

You could complain to the next level up, but it might not make a difference. To boot, I wouldn't be surprised if they were going to replace people altogether. Since you complained, you're probably at the top of their list too. Favoritism is a bitch, isn't it? Face it, you're screwed.

I feel your pain OP.. i feel your pain. I unfortunately left office life for a part-time job to reduce stress and found myself a job at this awesome family business. I was up for management consideration, until one of their family members needed a job. Now I run the risk of getting written up and fired if things aren't up to his standards... WHICH CHANGE DAILY!!! Best thing to do is show your boss that you're better suited for the job; and then go around applying for different jobs. Nothing is going to change, you can huff and puff but if there's one thing I have learnt, it's that family trumps hard working employees in a pinch.
