Today, my boss chewed me out for leaving a work function early. I explained it was to avoid a former co-worker I constantly fought with. The boss revealed he purposely invited that former co-worker, hoping our fight would provide entertainment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss threatened to write me up, after I made a slightly rude joke about a coworker everyone hates. A while later, a colleague told me the same joke. Turns out my boss had gone around telling it to everyone else and taking all the credit. FML
Today, I was leaving work to go home and ran into some people setting up an event in one of our rooms. In my socially anxious way, I told them they couldn’t use our equipment by saying my boss is a massive bitch. Turns out he knows my boss and disagrees. I hope he doesn’t say anything. FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. 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, 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
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. 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, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Your boss is a jerk.

That's unethical of him & quite immature for someone who holds a powerful position in a company. Hope you sorted that out with your boss.

If you have an HR department or higher ups, I'd make a complaint. If he's the highest, either make due or quit...

#40 You can get those hidden cameras, the types in pens/buttons, along with a tiny mic. There are so many ways to hide them on your persons. If you ever need proof in court, because he harasses you to the point you leave, fires you etc, you have evidence. A small cost in the long run for the equipment imo

Not to mention unprofessional.

The whole entertained part made me think of the whole "Are you not entertained?"

Ydi for fighting with people! I like your boss he's funny
brokenjawskhan 21
Creating fights is hilarious and entertaining, shame on OP and the coworker for fighting like chickens

I hate to be the one to break the bad news number 8, but that was god awful sarcasm, and it wasn't even remotely funny. ;(

You need to grow up and learn how to conduct yourself in a professional manner. You sound way immature if you can't seem to act like an adult and not a teen with a attitude problem
Morning_fml 22
You shouldn't be telling OP to grow up if you don't even know what s/he & his/her former co-worker were arguing about. Sometimes people fight, but that doesn't make them immature or have an "attitude problem". People just lose their patience.

How is OP immature if they know that they'll get in a fight if they see said coworker, then leave beforehand to avoid confrontation?
brokenjawskhan 21
People shouldn't fight no matter what the case is. Fighting is bad makes the world a crappier place.

Also for all you know it could be that the former coworker is actually the problem. The former coworker could be the type who would deliberately follow the OP around the function trying to start stuff. There is only so long that someone can put up with that kind of crap before they lose their cool.

To me, he is acting in a mature and professional way. He is leaving an event to avoid further confrontation and probably an awkward and tense atmosphere. You don't know the whole situation to know what the prior conflict between the two was to start saying things like that.
brokenjawskhan 21
If the coworker is causing you to lose your cool and become angry hen he/she can control you, then you've lost op shame on you ydi. "An angry mind is a narrow mind" -famous dialogue from the film never back down.

@#22 Yes. Shame on OP for there being someone that he or she does not get along with. OP obviously should let the whole world walk all over him or her and he or she should take it with a smile. Are you really that näive, or were you dropped on your head as a child?

between number 9 and number 16/22 i cant figure out whose comment is most moronic. We should take a poll -.-"

It's a lot more mature to avoid a person to avoid a fight than to do otherwise.

New meaning of "it's a fight to get to the top". Feel sorry for you OP
