Today, I had to fire an employee because she constantly calls in, or is late to work. She became very emotional and I felt kind of bad, so I walked her out myself. We then got stuck in the company elevator. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was short shifted at work because one of my employees decided not to show up. Furious, I wrote her up and made predetermined judgments about her. When she came in, I went off on her for being absent and leaving me stuck. She then informed me her mom tried to commit suicide. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, my boss explained that the company will be letting me go. She got so upset that she couldn't leave her office and I had to console her. I had to make her feel less sad for laying me off. FML
Today, I had to fire an employee for the first time in my life. She broke something that keeps breaking on its own, but she didn't report it. HR made me fire her. FML
Today, while in the elevator with the girl from my office that I've been crushing on, but never spoken to, I said "aren't elevators awkward?" After a long silence, she got off three floors before our office. FML
Today, I was late for work and sprinted to catch the elevator. I made it just in time, only to realize I was in the elevator alone and had just dramatically dived into it for no reason. FML
Today, I sneaked off work early. As I was in the elevator on the way down to leave, it stopped at my boss's floor, and he got in. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. FML

In this economy people should value their job and be model employees. Employers have their pick of people right now, especially in the lower skilled areas.

The downside is many employers will use that to their advantage in a way that they treat their employees like slaves and pay them with dirt because they know they can get away with it. It's really shitty and unfair but that's life.

#17.. same here. Ours have frozen our pay for the last 3 years (we're now on minimum wage) lengthened the opening hours we have to work (Yay 14hr shifts!) but cut all overtime. They have doubled our workload but it's OK because 'Plenty of people would kill for this job'!

Where the **** do you live?... In most states doing just one of those things would be illegal, check the laws regarding labour in your state. Might turn out they owe you some serious back pay.

Summary of the above: Work hard, or your ass is getting fired. I should do my summaries more often.

Lawsuit!!! To bad you fired her, or she really wouldn't be in a position to make some fast cash.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I just can't help myself. LAWSUIT?? LAWSUIT FOR WHAT? For getting stuck in an elevator? **** you. Congratulations, fucktards like you are the exact reason why the legal system in the US is so incredibly ******* broken. At the risk of repeating myself, go **** yourself. Twice.

Well, that's awkward. Did she cry the entire time you were stuck?

You did the right thing. Don't feel bad about firing someone that's like that.
