Today, MLK Jr. Day, I was told that since my other co workers are on vacation, I have to be at work Today. No one else is at work Today...or on any other holiday. Also I am the only black person at my office. The irony, FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my mom we get Monday off due to Martin Luther King Jr. day. She then insisted that I had to go to school because that is "only for black people." FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, my workplace is doing a "time and a half" day for the Fourth of July. Take a wild guess at who is the only employee who's not scheduled to work. FML
Today, I went to work during Black Friday, after not being invited to my family's Thanksgiving dinner. FML
Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML
Today, over half of my coworkers have called out for various reasons and my manager is on her third week of vacation. My coworkers keep calling out. I'm the only closer. I just want a day off. FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. 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, I thought working through the holidays would mean little to do and the boss telling me stories all day. Actually, it meant having loads to do, while my boss was telling me stories regardless, effectively keeping me from doing the work he is paying me for. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well you know... That great man gave his life so you could become an unappreciated wage-slave just like the rest of us whities! Seriously though, it sucks that you're the only one... Have fun with it though.. Photoshop you and the King himself and put it around the office for when they get back!

Yeah, that is certainly not right. But maybe you should follow MLK's example and not keep quiet about it. Nothing is going to happen unless you do something about it.

Yes the irony. Equal rights, equal everything... The color of your skin should not make a difference to whether you got the day off no ?

wait... are you a slave still? I don't get it. why would you take shit like that? find other work (that's if your master gives his permission of course).
