Today, I tried to write a bad review for the fast-food place at which I work part-time. My username made me anonymous, but I forgot to change my profile picture. Now my manager and coworkers won't even speak to me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I accidentally posted an extensive, negative review of the gynecologist I visited earlier this week. I messed up and posted it from my work's customer service email, so now it looks like the large, well-known company I work for had a poor gynecological experience. FML
Today, my promotion at work was revoked and I was written up, all because some customer decided to write a negative review about me on Google. Apparently, I was “rude” to her and “rolled my eyes at her” and called her stupid. I never met this woman a day in my life, and they won’t believe me. FML
Today, after 3 months of successful business at my restaurant, sales are down the shitter. Why? Because some no-life troll started posting loads of bad reviews online. He uses different names, but nothing in the reviews has ever happened. We can't get the reviews taken down. FML
Today, HR sent a review email to me asking me to anonymously tell them about my boss. I decided to use this opportunity to tell them what a dick he was. I printed off the review, filled it out, then scanned and emailed it to myself. Or so I thought. Turns out I'd sent the review to my boss. FML
Today, I got a bad review on my work's Facebook page. The girl said I was very rude and I should never work with the public. I was trying to flirt with her. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I received an e-mail telling me the job offer I got last week was rescinded. Apparently, the memes I share on my Instagram page are "tasteless" and don’t fit the company’s values. I forgot my profile is public. FML
Today, I took an embarrassing picture of myself in my work uniform, acting goofy and such, to send to my friends but I accidentally sent it to my manager. It was a very jeopardizing pose. I’m supposed to start tomorrow. FML
Today, at work, we had an extremely rude customer who started cussing at us, and my coworker started cussing back. I jumped on the register to quickly bring down the line, and apologized to everyone for the scene. A secret shopper was in the line and claimed that I was rude. I got written up. FML
Today, I wrote a bad review for a pizza place after their pizza gave me food poisoning. Now, they won't stop calling me, begging me to take my review down in exchange for free pizza. I have tried to tell them that I wouldn't eat their pizza again even if I got paid to do so, but they won't listen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Question: why would you want to write a bad review for the place you work at?

If you have a problem with where you work, you should have the balls to bring it up with your coworkers. YDI

Word of advice don't write reviews about places you work at. You end up fired for that.

They should really have fired you for that, and are probably legally allowed to do so. You're lucky you still have a job.

Totally YDI, you should never ever bad mouth or run down your place of work online. If you have issues, discuss it with your manager in private!

On the Facebook page Oh my God facts, there is a post about internet liars being busted. After reading number 7 I'm guessing that is you. if it is, they had fun ripping you apart. YDI 100%.

Your lack of intelligence, confirms you're working in the right career.

I've been in the OP's position. I was working at a fast food restaurant, and it was the only job I could find (I was an undergraduate at the time.) However, I knew things were going on that were downright dangerous: our holding temps for pre-cooked food were always low, raw meat was kept over (and dripped on) produce that then wasn't washed well, none of the kitchen hands ever washed their hands (even after making or smoking), utensils and other items were rarely sanitized and often merely run under cool water, and surfaces were repeatedly wiped with cloths that weren't kept in sanitizer or ever washed. We had several customers become ill, and the owner always told us to deny, deny, deny. Even though I HAD to work there, I couldn't, in good conscious, not tell people what was going on. You had better believe I left detailed negative reviews on every site I could find.
