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?

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

Typical bureaucracy...this is why our economy sucks...people like that are getting paid to do virtually nothing but bark orders, the people taking the orders, who do the REAL work...get paid crap. Then they fire more little people and make the others do MORE work at the same price, just so the big shots can get bonuses. And who says life is unfair? =D I always thought you could work your way up, and when you're at the bottom of an office store, you kinda should know how to refill a stapler...hmm must've skipped that earn-it-yourself thing...

#46: the economy isn't that bad in every single country. I live in canada and basically the only talk I hear about the economy is on late night television. lol @38: that was my exact thought. how ironic, the general manager at Staples not knowing how to change the staples in the stapler.

I am assuming that your boss is there not to sell, but more to order stuff when it runs out, do the accounting and such...

There's no way someone who works at an office supply store makes 6 figures.

the small things in life, or the work-place in this case, are often overlooked. they are in fact more impotant the bigger things because they are the fundamental steps to accomplishment.

I never knew office supply bosses make up to $100k a year.

That's the politics of work. The laborers are the ones who the company depends on but the ones on top who just sit around get the reward. My dad's company recently laid off a bunch of people, including him. They cut many senior employees who had higher salaries that they couldn't afford anymore and now a lot of the more experienced workers are gone. The CEO's salary is as high as ever. Now the company is being bought off by a bigger company. Those upper management people would rather see the company fall than cut their own salaries.
