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.

Your manager is a dick

I can honestly say I know how you feel OP, and I suggest you look for a new job. I took my first job straight out of high school, eventually quit and got into another job I was actually passionate about (I love animals and it was at an animal supply/food store, people were always bringing in their pets and I genuinely enjoyed having that job). I would try my hardest, we were sales reps but not on commission or anything, therefore there was no way to keep track of individual sales. But no matter how hard I applied myself, the managers began cutting my hours and cutting my hours to the point I was working 4 hours a week, not enough to get by on. When I confronted the managers, they said they're not happy with my sales and that I need to "engage more" and be like "So and So". None of this made sense because for one, as I mentioned, no one keeps track of individual sales. I would talk a client into buying $200 worth of merchandise and if there was another cashier saying, "Oh I'll ring them up for you!" it looks like THEY'RE getting the credit. Secondly they'd always have me work on slow days during slow hours. Thirdly, when they said be like "So and So" I noticed "So and So" would just stand around or go in the back to text on her phone when there was no one in the store. I was the only one who would keep myself busy restocking shelves, restocking the treat bar, dusting, cleaning, etc. I was disappointed because I was so young and inexperienced, I genuinely tried to be good at the job but for whatever reason was not appreciated whatsoever. Eventually I was able to take a $13/hour full-time job thanks to my mom who also works there, and I was only 18...almost 19. Here I am appreciated, I've only been here a little over year and am already being considered for a second promotion. If you're unappreciated, consider looking elsewhere for a job.

Take pictures of them at different intervals so the time stamp shows. Then show it to whoever is highest.
