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?

That's called nepotism and it is illegal. Contact the labor board, you may also have the right to sue.

OP those who are saying you have no right to sue are incorrect. You would have to quit your job and write in your statement that you were "constructively discharged". This means you had no choice but to quit because your hours were taken away and given to his family. Contact the EEOC: http://www.eeoc.gov/contact/ They will send you a statement of charges to file against your employer. Once they have recieved the statement they will launch an investigation. After they complete the investigation they will inform you whether there is enough evidence or not to pursue criminal charges. If there is not enough for criminal charges, they will send you a right to sue letter. Once you recieve that letter talk to an attorney. You could get a nice chunk of change out of this.

If he was your dad you'd expect him to give you a job too. You can always look for another job.

Makes sense to hire family members in times a company isn't doing so well. I know my boss has his mother come in to help with the store since she's willing to do it for less than the other employees or even for free.
