Today, my boss put me on suspension for violating company policy by having non-work related mail in my inbox. They were spam emails. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML
Today, at work, I received an email telling me that viewing porn websites was prohibited and was a good enough reason to fire me. FML
Today, my boss tried to fire me for not emailing him a screenshot to prove my email wasn't working. FML
Today, due to a change in our internal system, I set up an email filter at work that sent all incoming messages to spam. My boss had been sending me urgent updates all day, and I only realized when she came over and asked why I’d “gone radio silent.” FML
Today, I sent an email to my boss saying I'd fixed a glitch in our mail servers. He called me later, angrily shouting that I'd done a piss-poor job of fixing it, because my email had spammed his inbox with several hundred duplicate messages. FML
Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML
Today, my boss called me to say that I'm fired because I was "deliberately ignoring" the messages from a head of another department who wanted to contact me regarding some "urgent" (not really) project. I was on "Do not disturb" because it's my vacation, and this SOB is not even my boss anyway. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML
Today, I had to go to work on my day off to suspend someone. Afterwards, I got a call saying I can't suspend the person in question because the supervisor who told me to suspend them was wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He's only jealous because you have more sexy singles waiting to meet him and free ipads than he does. Sorry OP.

FYL. If there's a higher position, I suggest reporting it to them. Hopefully the spam is still there for evidence.

Put his email address in all of those "win a free Xbox" kind of sites until his inbox explodes!

Your boss lacks common sense. Go to his boss if possible.

That's your job email no wonder. You should have a private email and a work email

You read the words "They were spam emails," right?

Yes but you shouldn't have spam in your work email. Wtf I'm not stupid.

Spam gets into every email in one way or another. Yes you are stupid.

spam emails don't discriminate on if the email is for work or personal. they show up regardless.

Really? Maybe that's why it is posted on FML!

You should've told your boss, and then proved it to him by showing him it was in your spam box.

Time to call IT to have them update the spam filters. And I wonder if there is some way yo get the suspension lifted?

You my friend have an idiot for a boss or maybe he is looking for a reason to fire you

Your boss is just trying to find reasons to get you in trouble. Be wary of his actions. Print a screen shot of the spam folder, discuss it to the HR & kindly ask to have your suspension revoked.

obviously the boss is just looking to put a few things in your file to fire you because any rational person who wasn't doing that would take a look and keep it moving
