Today, I worked 12 long hours cooped up in my office. Before leaving, my boss asked me whether I'll ever take my job seriously. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I worked 24 hours straight fixing my company's servers. After it was over, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and promptly fell asleep at my desk. My boss found me an hour later, refused to listen to me, and fired me for sleeping on the job. FML
Today, 30 minutes before I was supposed to quit work at 6pm, my boss showed up. After telling him how the day went, he asked why I was still there. Apparently, for the holiday, we close early. 4 hours earlier. FML
Today, after my boss asked me to work late on a Friday and I'd agreed, thinking it would show him my dedication to the corporation, I got to the office. I realized after a while that I was the only one there, and the building's security system had locked me in. I spent my Friday night talking to our office goldfish in an empty row of cubicles. FML
Today, I worked from home to actually be able to concentrate and make a presentation about my project. My boss then sends me a long email about how he wants us to work in the office, and how important it is for team building, giving me feelings of guilt for actually getting some work done. FML
Today, my boss told me that my attitude to work is awesome and that he'd follow my example of coming in half-an-hour early every day from now on. I relish those 30 minutes as the only time I can get work done without him constantly interrupting me. So much for that. FML
Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. 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 told me to "act more professionally." So… I sat in the corner and cried for an hour. 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, after working for over a decade at the same place, I was formally written up with two days of leave without pay for refusing to work extra overtime. I've been working over 80 hours a week for four months now and even cancelled some very important plans so I could work every day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

so what your saying is to work 13 hours a day or more? I mean really? That boss just doesnt appreciate all the hard work op has done...
ceinaworus 0
hmm, I prefer to work smarter, then my boss THINKS I'm working harder : )

15- not really.. op could be working millions of hours a day and still do poorly at the job simply because.. more hours more pay.
YacL 15
Yeah, just because he worked for 12 hours doesn't mean it was all serious. He could have been working for 12 hours on a puzzle... or something. Anyway, I'm not taking sides, but his boss sounds more than a little unappreciative, even if it was just a puzzle.

He probably wants something else... Doesn't have to be sexual.

nono. OP needs to say 'when will your wife take your penis seriously?' then he must kick OPs boss in the face and run.

11, he should definitely do that if he wants to be out of a job.

And if it doesn't solve your problems, you're not using enough of it.

AlwaySunny 0
well of course OP isn't taking his job seriously, if he was really committed he should have worked 13..

55 - you could then say to a homeless person, sure you're on the brink of starvation every day and have no dependable shelter, but it could be worse, you could be in Antarctica.

Maybe you should find out if what you're spending time on is what your boss actually wants you to do.
iBanana 17
Why? That would require effort.
peppermintstick 0
I guess it would. But I would rather put forth effort so I would not get bitched at than wasting my time doing something and then getting complained at.
