Today, my boss confessed to me that she doesn't know how to change the staples in the staplers at work, so she just switches them when they run out. We work at an office supply store. She makes six figures. I make $10 an hour. And she just got awarded a trip to Aruba for doing a "great job". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that the airhead sitting next to me at work who can't get anything done on her own, makes more money than I do. FML
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, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
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, I started a new job. After being trained on several obscure computer programs I'm expected to use in just one day, my new boss informed me she's going on a week long vacation starting tomorrow. She's the only other person who knows how this program runs. FML
Today, my boss ate a small piece of paper off her desk, thinking it was frosting. I have to work for this woman. FML
Today, I was informed by my boss that he has been stealing quarters out of my change bowl to pay for his bus rides. He makes six times the amount I make. FML
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I seriously doubt that anyone working at a supply store makes a six figure salary.

Well if she is just switching staplers out she is costing the company money when it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how to change staples. I think for her stupidity she should be kicked in the balls yes in the balls. Come on people that's like a nurse or doctor that doesn't know how to treat someone who is having a seizure, or the difference between a viral and bacterial infection both minor things but can cost big if you don't know what your doing.

It seems your boss is doing her job. She's holding everything together, even if it is with a new stapler.

A GM needs to know how to manage but does not always have to have operational skills. If she's good at getting people in the store, and keeping them there until they buy something her job is being done. She may also be really good at streamlining cost to maximize the stores sales/expenses. Regardless there is a clear reason why you make $10 an hour. You're on here posting this story while she's out there planning the next sale or promotional event. Get a life, Get an education (above the 6th grade level you seem to have stoped at), Then you can bitch and maybe people would have a reason to feel bad for you. If you're in the process of getting an education (in other words you're a highschooler) then just %^&ing suck it up and deal. Dear God did you just now figure out that life isn't always fair and does not make sense all the time. You sir or miss are a sad example of the up and coming work force, and may God preserve us for people like you in management!

Yeah, but the boss doesn't know how to change goddamn staples. Now if that's an example of the upcoming work force, it's even more hopeless, you sad moron.

There's one at every workplace. Get over it. And you have no right to complain if you're earning $10 an hour doing what a lot of people do for minimum wage.

You fail upwards in this society. Anyone who says YDI because she's a boss, you're a low-level, etc. is just hoping their stupidity will take them to the top. And it won't. 'Cause things are changing.
