Today, my boss told me I ask too many questions and that's why they cut my hours in half. Officially, I'm a "Pharmacy Technician in Training", which means I'm trying to teach myself how to do the job without killing someone. All from on the job experience and an outdated textbook. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished my last day of job training. At the beginning, the boss had told us to ask as many questions as possible. I was fired because I asked too many questions. FML
Today, I've been working for a company for six months, but I still don't know my job fully because my trainer is difficult. He would get mad because I'd wait until he was done explaining before asking questions, so I changed and asked as soon as he said something I didn't know, but would get, "Well, if you'd let me finish…" FML
Today, as I was helping a customer, she asked if it was my first day and who was training me. Evidently, I'm bad at my job, because I've worked there for 7 months. FML
Today, the people who gave me no training or instruction on how to do my job tried to fire me, because asking for clarification apparently means I'm incompetent. FML
Today, I got in trouble at work because the person whom I trained, and had done everything correctly with no mistakes, and said he was comfortable being on his own when I asked, was screwing it all up over the course of 6 weeks. When I asked him, he said, "I think my way is better than yours." FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer because I couldn't tell her where the vitamins were in the pharmacy. The manager came and yelled at me for being lazy and incompetent. I work in the store across the street from the pharmacy. FML
Today, it was my first day as a pharm tech. Two hours into my shift, I came down with awful food poisoning, causing me to go to the restroom multiple times before eventually leaving. I'd filled multiple controlled substances today and can't help but think my coworkers are thinking I'm a drug addict. FML
Today, I got demoted from my manager's position, only to be replaced by a 21 year-old who has never worked in retail in her life. I now have to spend the next month teaching her my job so they can fire me. FML
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. FML
Today, I interviewed for a job at a pharmaceutical lab. During the interview, I said something about a past work experience that made the interviewers think that I would enjoy doing something similar to that… so they gave me a warehouse job instead. I have a degree in chemistry and biology. FML

google is your friend?

I'm pretty sure googling "how not to kill people" isn't going to end up with the best results.

Just kill someone, that will teach them

Sounds like your boss is scared you'll take their job if you get good enough. Keep at it and you probably will.

I don't know, that sounds more like a lazy employer than a threatened competitor to his job.

Pharmacist: That was Mr. Smith on the phone... He said he's been having problems with his blood not clotting and thinks it's his medication. Didn't you give him what I told you to? OP: Yessir, I gave him Coumadin. Pharmacist: WHAT?! I said cinnamon! CIN-NA-MON! His metabolism needed a boost! OP: Oh... Well that would explain all the bleeding. Sorry boss!

well questions are a good thing! if your boss doesn't answer your questions, then there's higher chances you'll kill someone. your bosses logic is retarded

You had me, until you said 'retarted.'

And of course, you edit it in time. Well-played.

I always read my comments over. I caught the mistake right before I read your comment

The thing is. You shouldn't ask your boss first. Always ask people at your level before asking your superiors.

IAmMonkey, you say you read your comments over, but you still wrote "bosses logic".

Go on a murder rampage and kill everyone inside that place? Just a suggestion

When I was still a trainee they told me there's no such thing as stupid questions or too many questions. You learn by asking. They are stupid!

Wow that's so unprofessional!
