Today, I watched a manager and a co-worker sit underneath a table in our store all day as I got yelled at for not working hard enough. I was the only one actually working. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, after working for 7 hours straight, I sat down for a second to wait for an elevator. My manager told me I wasn't allowed to sit and that I had to get back to work. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, while working as a cart attendant, I found one of my coworkers on a lawn chair sipping on a Bud Light in the parking lot, while we both were supposed to be working, leaving me to push carts by myself. My boss comes out to me catching my breath and tells me to work harder. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, it was a really slow day at work. One thing lead to another, and soon enough we were all taking turns shoving each other across the office on a swivel chair. Our boss came in during my turn, and I got singled out for a verbal warning. Everyone else got off with a disapproving glare. FML
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you were the only one actually working, who yelled at you?

If they do that often, go in early one day and squirt some glue on the floor under the table. That should teach them a little lesson. Lazy farts.

Sounds like you and OP need new jobs then. You don't need to allow yourself to be used that way.

Or if there are cameras and higher management just report them. Many people may be skeptical to report their manager to a high up but really if they aren't doing their job its often appreciated by the higher ups.

The conundrum of managers to employees...

Seems like this coworker is the type that will get noticed more no matter how hard you work

That, or the Co-Worker was actually being taught how to clean the gum up from under the tables.

That sucks. But if you keep up the hard work I'm sure you'll get the recognition you deserve.

Don't put up with more than you can handle, unless there are no jobs anywhere else. It won't get any better until they leave or you leave.

If they're anything like my old job they'll make up the excuse that the cameras don't catch that area when it clearly does or that the camera is just there for show..

I'm kinda wondering what they were doing under the table.

I'm wondering where OP works, is this a walmart or is this a restaurant? Cause the restaurant image is a whole lot funnier in my head. "Sorry you can't be seated at that table, my manager and coworker are currently busy hiding under it"
