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?

So you know the economy is bad and his kids need jobs, and yet you still expect that he will screw over his own children to benefit you and give you the hours instead? Wtf kind of logic is that? What makes you be surprise that he picked his children over you??? Try to pull your head out of the FML whining wagon, and think of it: If you had kids having trouble in the current economy, would you help them, or a perfect stranger you have no reason to care for?? Can you think of anyone in the world who would chose some random person over their own kids?? If your parents have a company, go see them instead... FYL if you lived to the age you did without understanding how society and life works at such a basic level.

You can't sue for nepotism, morons. At least not in just about any situation. And if it's a family company, it's 100% normal for him to do what he's doing. Hell, even if it's not, as long as he's not pushing OP off due to racism or any of the other legally sanctioned reasons, it's still legal. He has the right to chose an employe over another. It happens EVERY DAY, everywhere kiddies. Wake up and smell the coffee. Favoritism exists and it sucks, but is not illegal at all.

Nepotism isn't illegal, get over it.

Ain't nepotism grand? Don't wanna hearing nothing about no silly meritocracy.

Nepotism may not be illegal, but cutting your hours so the boss' children have more hours may be discrimination and worth a call to the EEOC.
