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.

Your company isn't paying people big bucks to know how to change staples in staplers. Her skills are much more valuable than that. Get over yourself.

Look at it the other way around. Your knowledge of how to change staples may be basic, but it's utterly insignificant.

one reason why someone is a manager...they're not smart enough to be a regular employee

#4 is so right. Isn't it weird how that works? It's the same at my job and it makes me so frustrated I want to shoot myself at times.

It's obvious by the comments who is destined to clean the fryers at McDonald's and which ones aren't. Those of you at the bottom of the totem pole are just so convinced that you're smarter than you're boss that you can't even imagine how they tie their shoes in the morning. Multi-million dollar companies don't hand over a set of keys and a warehouse full of inventory to an 18 year old know-it-all. Somewhere along the line, someone put that sense of entitlement into your noggin and that didn't do you any favors. Pay your dues and prove your worth before thinking you're even close to being ready for that trip to Aruba. Just because you know how to take the cover off of the stapler doesn't make you ready to be the regional manager of an international corporation.
