Today, my boss is still refusing to hire any more people because he's convinced I can handle all of the work after the majority of staff quit. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss refused my resignation and acted like nothing had happened. FML
Today, my boss is going nuts after some coworkers quit, as they were some of the lucky few with enough cash to move away ahead of whatever dumbass plan the next administration has for their immigrant families and friends. My boss is complaining he can't afford to pay "normal people wages" and wants me to work overtime. FML
Today, my boss is still refusing to fire my psychotic coworker, who's made it his mission to insult, annoy, bully and threaten me every day into making me quit. My boss is convinced the guy just has "assburger's" and that the company would get sued if we fired him. FML
Today, I was told by my boss if I was late one more time he fired me. I replied, "Can I quit then if that's the case." He then said no, and gave me more shifts. FML
Today, I once again got less than 20 hours of work for the entire week. My boss's solution? Double the staff. FML
Today, my coworker, who constantly no-shows, ranted to me about his work hours being reduced. He somehow doesn't realize that he's the problem. We're understaffed as of now, so they can't fire him, and I have to be there constantly to make up for him being a lazy ass. My days off have been few and far between. FML
Today, my boss made sure to do one last thing before he retired. Fire me. FML
Today, one of my employees was fired for refusing to do a basic job necessity. After the meeting with HR, he left the office and tried to go back to work. FML
Today, my boss quit his job and stopped coming in without warning. Guess who just inherited his tasks and responsibilities without the training or pay associated with his manager role. I was hired last year as a junior system admin. FML
Today, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell him you will quit if he doesn't hire anyone else or that you want a huge raise

At least your boss believes he can trust you with a big portion of work. Maybe you can get a promotion.

To what? Sounds like it's pretty much just OP and the boss.

The promotion's already done. The raise is what's due.
JMichael 26
Tell him you'll do it all. For a raise, a bonus, added benefits, and 100 vacation hours that you can take anytime on just a moments notice.

Better rise to the occasion! Who doesn't like a challenge? More money anyways right?
SMHsohard 22
There are challenges and then there is being used and abused. Guess which category this one falls into?

Hence why the majority of the staff quit. Perhaps you should follow suit.

have you tried talking to him about it?
JBChristian 47
Duh.

seems like she did. how else would she know the reasoning behind his decisions?

You should just quit.

Why would he rely on one employee that much? If OP was to quit or get injured, the boss would be ******.

Right now I have to live with a boss who abuses her subordinates in a similar way. Go ask a nurse if she thinks that 5 early shifts and 5 night shifts in a row, followed by only 2 free days (that includes the day when you leave the hospital at 6.30 a.m.) and then followed by the next 10 shifts sounds like a healty roster. Or how nice it is to get a call at 7 in the morning, why you are not at work - because this day was supposed to be a free day, but she changed it into a work day while you are at home, without caring to give you a call and tell you. People are collapsing left and right and morale is not exactly excellent. And I came to the conclusion that she is doing this because of two reasons. First, she does not care for anyone except herself. And second, she is too f´ing stupid to realise what she is doing to her staff. That people like you and me are not pea-brained and have at least the slightest capability to to empathize with other people does not necessarily mean, that this is true for every superior too.

Bosses always think of it as "cost cutting", Fewer employees = lower costs. Customer service be damned. He probably has a reason to believe he/she won't quit.

Hey he believes in you. You should be motivated by that. Maybe you're just lazy.

I bet we know why they quit, too. Don't let him bully you. Take your full lunch break, leave when you are supposed to leave, don't take work home, don't stress yourself out and be frantic to get things done. Do a full day's work appropriate to the pay you receive, then go home. If he drove the others to quit, he made his own bed. Don't fluff the pillow for him.

Quit repeating yourself; you're just going to be thumbed down every time.
