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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

Yeah, it's lame that she doesn't know how to change the staples in a stapler. But do you really think that anyone should be awarded a trip based on whether or not they know how to change a stapler? I'm guessing she got the trip because overall, she's good at her job.

I dont believe this. Why? Because in THIS economy no one is doing well enough to award someone a trip to Aruba for doing a "good job." ESPECIALLY not an office supply store.

Let's hope she was joking. Seriously, wtf.

If you are upper management, you HAVE someone stapling your paperwork for you. They are called secretaries/administrative assistants.

A nice little variation of the classic "MBAs can't work the office copier" joke. I like it. :)

How many dicks did she have to suck to get that job? Injustice!

and i'm sure your knowledge of staple changing could really help out your company's bottom line. youre right, they should definitely fire her and hire you for that position instead.

Well I am sure there is a lot more to your boss's jobs than changing staples. Way to think you are better than your boss just because they did something stupid. If you hate your job change it, but don't blame your boss's inability to change staples as an excuse for saying your life sucks
