Today, I'm working for a company that makes over a million dollars a year, yet leaves me with no choice but to pee in a cup because they won't pay to fix the only toilet in the building. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML
Today, my boss told me to find the bad smell coming from the apartment we were working on. I found the bathtub about 4 inches high full of piss, and spent the next hour bailing it out into a bucket because the drain wasn't connected yet. I have pee stains in all the wrong places. FML
Today, I had to pee in the kitchen sink because my bathroom is being completely revamped, and the only other toilet in the house is my parents'. They refuse to let anyone use it. FML
Today, as if having diarrhea at work wasn’t bad enough, my office’s aggressively flushing toilet sprayed me with my own liquid shit. FML
Today, at work I had to spend two hours cleaning up stinky toilet water. Why? Because yesterday, I forgot to turn on the septic tank pumps. The tank overflowed, and so did all the toilets. My boss is not happy. FML
Today, I found out that a water pipe at my work had burst over the weekend. There is absolutely no water in the building, including the bathrooms. It's a 9-hour day, and I took a laxative this morning before I came in. FML
Today, my bosses were boasting about their work-funded retreat, including the $1,800 bottle of wine the company paid for. This would be fine if they hadn't just told me there are no funds to pay me for the work they've got me doing. We are also the biggest company in our industry. FML
Today, my work decided to fire me. Three days ago, I sat down with my boss and asked if they could fix the sewage leak in my office, and maybe look into how loud it is. FML
Today, I took a massive dump in a trashcan in the back of my company's catering truck. We have a professional tailgate spread for clients to enjoy at the local games. My boss got drunk and left me to work it alone for 8 hours. The closest bathroom is 1/2 mile away. I hate my job. FML
Today, I was feeling terrible so I called in sick to work. My boss refused to believe me and told me he'd fire me if I didn't come in. I dragged myself to work, only to spend most of the day glued to the toilet. Now he says I won't be paid for the day because I barely did any work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A million dollars a year even in profits isn't that much for a company you need to consider that they have to pay rent, employees, taxes, utilities, merchandise, advertising, and they have to support their family as well so after all that is factored out maybe they can't afford to fix it

It seems to be a common thing that those with more money don't want to spend it on the necessities

That would help lower the water bill. Also, we can offer them free fertilizer for extra savings.

That would be acid rain for the poor plants #2

Well you hopefully aren't the only one who sees this as an issue, time to talk to HR

I would make a call to the state dept of labor.

I think OP works at the Krusty Krab, great business, but a stingy boss.

Have you reported this? Maybe possibly consider working for another company that cares for their employees :c

What do your coworkers and visitors and clients do? You can't really be the only person that thinks this is a problem.

Profit is minus expenses. If what she means is truly profit, then they have more than enough to make a $100 repair.

If they can't afford to fix the plumbing, maybe they shouldn't really be in business in the first place. :c
gemstone586 12
seems like there'd be regulations stating they have to have working plumbing...

#7 exactly what u was thinking. In today's economy a million dollars is not a lot of money. Especially if they only make one million dollars a year only a percentage of that is profit.
jimmer23 21
Exactly my though. Net income is way different than revenue.

I think #7 meant to say revenue not profit.

"Exactly what *I* was thinking" is what I meant to say. I have fat fingers and am awful at proofreading.

Agreed #7.

toilet parts are cheap. there's no excuse for this. I live in a dumpy ass trailer and I can afford to fix a toilet.

I really hope there are laws against this where you live.

Get a jug, I hear it's more efficient

Sink works, too. Plus, heated bidet, if you're crafty enough!

Can't you go to a bathroom near by?!
Retaheki 27
So, you want OP to leave work, wander until they find another bathroom, use it, and come back to work? I hope OP is lucky and finds one less than a minute away, provided they actually let her out.
