Cutthroat
Today, my boss asked that I add the work of our third coworker's position to my shift because he's never finished his duties. She gave us a 50 cent raise to "babysit" a 60-ish year-old man. I responded to respectfully fire him or pay me 20/hr. His last day is Friday and he doesn't even know yet. FML

Thanks Pam, FU too
Today, my brat of a coworker tried to convince our boss that I should get paid half of what I'm making because I broke my right arm. I'm left-handed, broke it on the job, and still doing a better job than her. She makes double what I do. FML

Today, my best friend was fired from the place we both work at because she's a bad employee. After they fired her she said, "If I go, I'm taking my best friend with me." So they fired me too. I actually liked that job. FML

Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

What?
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML

Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML

Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML

Today, my company decided to give me a second role, since I’m "the best performing candidate.” When I turned it down, they asked me to work half-time instead. I quit. FML

Meritocracy
Today, after six months of doing the job of 2 people, because all my coworker does is sleep and sit down with her phone, I told my boss that I can't be doing my coworker's job and getting the same salary as her. My boss added just $10 to my salary and told me to let her carry on doing nothing, while I still do the work of 2 people. FML

Today, I went to my boss with concerns that my manager is dumping her responsibilities on me. He agreed and told me to just do whatever she wants. She gets paid twice as much as me to talk on her cellphone all day. FML

A jobs not worth doing if its not done right. I think your friend wont get it, due to your boss wanting quality not low pay

...why on earth not? We have no idea what the job is. If it's easy enough to do and the OP's friend can prove they can do it, why wouldn't the boss take them up on it? It's how capitalism works. It's why workers need solidarity :p

betrayal from a coworker messed up never the less understandable but from a BEST Friend?

That's just effed up. Like seriously. What happened to being a good honorable friend?

But see...your boss CAN'T fire you just to hire your friend. Like, legally, they can't. Just don't give them a reason to fire you, and you'll be fine.

it depends where he lives. if he's in a "right to work" state. there's nothing he can do

do they have those in Australia?

Yeah, where I live, an employer can fire you for whatever reason they want, no explanation offered at all.

Nope. Here in Australia we have unfair dismissal laws that provide employees w protection & security. Thank god for the unions!!!

Fair Work Australia for the win! Every job I've ever had has handed out a copy of fair work rights and contact info for an ombudsman with the employment package so I'm pretty sure OP's job is safe

Ya, "best friend"

Honestly, your "best friend" is a horrible person. That's one of those things I can picture you guys like talking and them bringing up as like a joke but to think about them actually going to your work and doing it is so messed up.

Then I guess he must really need it. .
