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?

Nepotism FTL. bitch slap him with a law suit. if you're actually a good worker and what you say is true, there's no way you'd loose that lawsuit. My company is currenty experiencing it. ^_^

sexual harrassment charges. the boss approached you,you refused, hours cut.AND the BBB. they investigate ALL accusations and even look for resolutions and to make sure it has been resolved. it. will say 4 complaints, 1 not resolved. I still like the harassment charge if you have the guts. it'll also play havoc with that close knit family.

Sorry, but making a false charge would be a bitch move on OP's part, since there's no evidence of it occurring. She not only would lose her job, she'd leave herself open to a slander lawsuit. I'm pretty sure she'd have a hard time paying the resulting legal fees if she's unemployed.

FYL OP, your boss is a dick. Those kids aren't learning anything useful here. Instead of relying on their abilities to find jobs and be responsible for themselves, now it's "Daddy will bail me out!"

that's the way it is dude when you work for a family-owned business. i currently have 2 jobs and both are family owned. the son and daughter get the most hours regardless of how much school work they get, they get special advantages and stuff. i personally cannot stand it. but i've learned to be thankful that i at least have a job.

I'm sorry about that. I know how it feels. I was so grateful to find a job a couple months ago, only to find that my boss started cutting down my hours significantly after my first pay check. After a girl quit last week, I thought I'd be able to work more. Instead, I found out he hired someone new to take her place. I'm grateful for the job I have, but working minimum wage AND having my hours cut DOES suck.

If someone gets fired there is a BIG chance they will not get unemployment, unless the boss admits that the employee was laid off. I would talk to the boss though because that is just ridiculous and unfair. He shouldn't do that, I know they are his kids but at the same time he needs to realize that its a business and you shouldn't do that. Try to find something else and then quit!

"If someone gets fired there is a BIG chance they will not get unemployment, unless the boss admits that the employee was laid off." Not entirely true. It depends on why you were fired. For example, if you went all crazy, cussing people out, stealing, breaking things etc, it would be very difficult to get unemployment pay. But, if you were fired because of not hitting a sales budget (like I was), it's less difficult to get unemployment, you just need proof that was the ONLY reason why you lost your job. Just wanted to clarify. Because I've been in that position before :)

Hey if you work for a fast food chain OP you can just contact corporate about that fact

Although nepotism is not necessarily illegal you could contacted his corporate office and/or get a lawyer involved I'm sure your boss would work something out with you to avoid bad publicity.

I'm going through something similar. it ******* sucks when you ask for hours they won't give them to you but hire more people instead
