Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into work for the first time without make-up. My boss thought I looked so tired and ill that he sent me home. FML
Today, I decided to go all-natural and go to work without any makeup on. My boss swore I was on drugs, which I guess had absolutely nothing to do with the completely "random" drug test I had to take later in the day. FML
Today, I was written up at work for "leering at my boss". I'm so sorry for having my eyes sore due to lack of sleep. FML
Today, I got written up for “making a big show” of being exhausted at work. I was trying to hide it. FML
Today, I was written up. Too many customers complained that I don't wear makeup or do my hair. I got written up for being ugly. FML
Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
Today, for the first time, I decided to just be myself at work. My boss thought I was drunk. FML
Today, I got sent home from work for appearing stoned/under the influence of drugs. I suffer from severe hay fever, which no antihistamine has fixed yet, hence the red and glassy eyes. FML
Today, I had a morning shift at the restaurant and didn't feel like wearing makeup. I was energetic and greeted everyone happily, but my manager told me I looked tired. I said, "Oh no I'm just not wearing makeup!" He said, "Well, you might need it." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

People are generally very pale without their make-up. Should have been honest and fought for your case. If your boss is that worried, they should consent to a drug test.

“Today, I woke up with a stranger in my bed. Then I realized it was just the first time I’ve seen my gf without makeup. I can’t believe she’s going to work like this. FML”

Apparently beauty is on the outside.

Depends on where they are in the US, most states are right to work. Outside of the US depends, but most jobs will send you home if they suspect if you are under the influence not all will drug test and some will fire you outright.

You were under the influence ... of dummies who say you look just as good without makeup. If your boss has only seen you with makeup, you probably look pretty scary without it. Why would women spend so much time, effort and money on the stuff if it didn’t make a difference?

How much do you normally wear to make him think that when you do not have any on?

THIS is sexism

Except it's not. It may be extreme, I could see being sent home cause she seemed sick, not necessarily under the influence. But makeup isn't solely a womans thing, and daily grooming habits aren't solely for women either.

If you're wearing so much makeup that you're almost unrecognizable without it then you're wearing way too much.
