Today, my boss pulled me aside to chastise me for being "off task" because I was chatting with a co-worker while working on a project. She then spent a half hour chatting with the same person about what daycare she should go to for her new baby. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was talking to this girl I really like at my work. Everything was going fine until our boss called me into his office. Apparently I was being a little too flirty with his daughter. 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
Today, at work I got told off by my manager for texting while working. Enraged by this, I trash talked her to the new girl at work. The new girl, a.k.a. my manager's daughter. FML
Today, a random customer at work admonished my coworker for being on her phone. During our lunch break. As he walked away, my coworker muttered, "What the fuck is his problem?" I nodded in agreement. He heard her and saw me nodding. As did our boss. Time to get written up. FML
Today, my boss called me while I was working from home to bitch me out over being away from my computer for 49 minutes, when my lunch break is only 45 minutes, thus wasting another 13 minutes. My boss is known for spending hours online gaming from home during work hours. FML
Today, my supervisor told me off for doing something. When I reminded her that she told me to do it, she yelled at me for correcting her. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me, telling me that I can't answer the phone anymore. Not because I do a bad job, but because a co-worker whined about it being her job. People call her and complain about how rude she is and then ask to talk to me. FML
Today, I brought my daughter to work with me. When we walked in, a client was blowing up at my boss, all because as my boss was walking past his storage unit, he glanced in and was about to compliment how neat it was. After my boss left, I had to deal with the aftermath, which left my daughter terrified of this man. FML
Today, I had a meeting at work. My boss was going around saying that she tries to give time off to the other managers so they can spend time with their family and significant others. She looked at me and said she doesn't for me because I have no one special to spend time with. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for not finishing my work on time. Yesterday, she cut an hour from my schedule every day until further notice. FML

Bosses these days. They yell at you for one thing, and then go to the same. Let all their power go to their head.

You expect that you and your boss are supposed to be held to the same standard? You're not going to get very far in business. It's double-standards like this that make low-level cube monkeys aspire to become bosses.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Of course the boss can get away with things but not everybody else. It's in the management handbook

One time in afghanistan my CO made me Burn everyones poop because he caught me talking to a scorpion, but he probably talked to scorpions too

My boss is a tyrant too. Don't stress it! Follow the rules and you'll be fine. In one way or another her wrong doings will catch up to her.

I da boss, so shut up!!

When you are the boss, you can do what you chose. You are to be judged only by your superiors. What your boss does is not your business, and not for you to criticize. Maybe if you spend more time worrying about your task at hand than your bosses actions, you too could be the boss someday. But keep bitching, moaning, and being negative and you will always be in entry level positions.

But she's the boss? She can do whatever she wants, your the employee you have to listen. That's how the world has always worked

This comment reminds me of cops... They do an illegal U-Turn (no lights/sirens) but if you do it, you get a ticket.

127 nobody said OP's boss is a good boss, but she still is the boss. So OP deal with it. Now you know how distracting you can be to others.
theamazingone_12 7
well just look at it this way.... one day she will get caught and you will be there to laugh
biggestfan23 11
But she's the boss so I'm sure she doesn't care if she gets caught by subordinates
LO388 7
I assume 2 is talking about the boss being caught by her boss, assuming there is another tier of management.

I thought it was the additional pay and access to the company cactus...
boydeee01 7
I want access to the company cactus.
Doxy 22
It's all about higher pay, the company cactus and the hot slutty secretary.

And what the hot secretaries do with the company cactus! (They water it.)

#33, bosses don't steal Eggos -- they re-purpose them with value-added synergy to maximize return-on-investment, delight the customer, conform to the company's Green initiative and improve safety. That's how you steal egos -- like a BAWS!

Bosses always assume... Never get their facts straight

She is the boss, which means unless she is sexually abusing or harrassing you then she is technically not doing anything wrong. People make friends in their work, while it is unfair it happens. Your boss favors one worker over another and you are going to just have to learn to deal with it unless you want to stir up the water. If you feel passionate about it then talk to her about how you feel her behavior is unfair, but be aware that she might not take that criticism well. If you can deal with her 'lectures' then just do what you are paid to do. While it is not fair what she did, she is the one in authority and you do not have a real say in how she conducts herself as long as she gets her work done.

Bitch, please. Bosses dont do any of their own work. -.-
RedPillSucks 33
Not true. Some bosses pitch in and help their team do the work. Also, managing a team of people, some of which are primadonnas and others which are whiny children, can be hard work by itself.

Thats the word 54 "some" do help out. My younger brother had a part time job at a fast food restaurant and all the boss did was sit on his fat as and eat. So one day I went in and confronted him to find out he looked 5 times larger then me. So you are right some do help but most are fat lazy shit faces that have reached their peak in life.

Of course an intelligent comment like this gets buried... 8- you are RIGHT.

8, Doing something legally wrong and doing something wrong are two different things. Shes clearly doing something wrong, because she is engaging in activity that she believes to be counter-productive and therefore inefficient. Just because she can get away with it doesn't make it right or a good idea by any stretch of the imagination.. She is a dumb shit, with unrealistic expectations of her employees. Her very actions are building feelings of resentment which may or may not reflect in the work this individual does - or whether they seek employment elsewhere - which may affect the company. I'd say that's doing something wrong.

Typical case of "Do as I say, not as I do" from the hypocritical boss?
