Today, I went into my boss's office to confront her about not consulting me before switching my shifts with someone else. I left in tears. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, someone I work with embarrassed me in front of everyone in my job; because I wasn’t doing something the way she liked during our meeting this morning. I ended up crying in front of my boss. FML
Today, I got in trouble with my boss for doing what she wanted me to do. I guess she didn't think I would do it, so she did it herself. FML
Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML
Today, my boss explained that the company will be letting me go. She got so upset that she couldn't leave her office and I had to console her. I had to make her feel less sad for laying me off. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML
Today, my boss continued to orchestrate behind the scenes with my colleagues to make me look bad for her lack of organization. Then she showed up 10 minutes late to a meeting, shared that she needed a vacation, and realized that she needed to micromanage less. I've been asking her to make that change for months. 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, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, my boss told me to "act more professionally." So… I sat in the corner and cried for an hour. FML
Today, my boss held a meeting to talk about how we can't overlook others and no one should pick favorites. I walked out unemployed when I pointed out that she completely ignored the person who made the biggest sale in company history and constantly gave her son raises for mediocre work. FML

You need to go to HR! You really should be consulted for that.

The boss isn't there for your benefit and doesn't need your permission or even consult you to change your shift. It's the way of things in the real world, get use to it.

Maybe the boss isn't legally obligated to, but it is common curtesy, and being an employer doesn't automatically give you the right to be a ******* rude asshole, let alone apparently verbally (or possibly even physically or sexually) abusive to the point of making an employee cry because they wanted to know why you changed their shift without telling them. A boss is supposed to lead by example, not sit with their thumb up their ass, treating employee like toys they can mess with, break, throw away and replace to entertain themselves or make them feel better about them self. If you are an employer you are just as ******* responsible for being a decent human being as every other person is. And if the boss didn't notify OP about the shift change, yeah, that could very well be a legal issues, or if the boss took away vacation days/days off they had agreed to give OP earlier. Also, the world being shit isn't a reason to add MORE shit to the pile.

Where I'm from they need to give you legally 24 hours notice before changing a shift..

Your boss should still be human! And yes, if you have already been scheduled in (as it is not a brand new rota), of course they need to consult whether or not you're free that day! You were given a schedule, you made plans accordingly so they wouldn't clash with your job. If that schedule is now changed, you can't expect the employee to be available anymore.

OP here, I did not think this was going to be published. Right, there's a lot behind this in general, but the breakdown is essentially that we were short on staff (Per usual) and my boss was trying to hook a guy to take a few double shifts. Since he's usually the one that ends up working double and he was on a shift he absolutely hates, he said that he didn't have the energy. My boss, instead of asking anyone else, said that he could take my shifts during that time instead. And, yeah, she does have the power to switch our shifts as long as it's the same amount of time, but my shifts were shorter. Things like this has happened a little too often, so I got irritated enough to call her out on it. With her being defensive and me being stressed out of my mind, I ended up crumbling together. Thanks for all your supportive messages, though! I'll try to first bring this up as an issue to her before I go to HR with it, though.
