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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

she's definitely jealous

Obviously I'm in the minority here, but OP admitted to being off task, and the boss taking her to the side to correct her. Sounds pretty decent of the boss to do it away from her peers. We don't know what the boss was there to do or on a break or whatever...but that isn't the important part. If we make a mistake, an adult steps up takes responsibility for it. Others making the same mistake doesn't lessen our responsibility to do the right thing. This is a petty thing to be worried about or whine about. Be better.

The OP did not admit to being off-task. That is what the boss CLAIMS that the OP was, when s/he was not. S/he had been talking to a co-worker WHILE working on the project. That is not off-task, that is multitasking.

Talking while working on a project is not necessarily just multitasking. Besides I have a job where I have to multitask all the time, and I can attest to it lowering my efficiency in the individual tasks. Some jobs are important enough to focus as much as possible. However, my point was only that there were obvious expectations of performance. Even if you don't think it's fair, it's a job that you get paid for. It just annoys me how entitled people are becoming. Obviously you've never had a hard job, or this wouldn't be a big deal.
