Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML
Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. 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 was working on entering a lot of information in the system. When I'd finished, I closed the screen to move on to the next steps, my boss came by to see how I was doing, just in time to see me looking at a now-blank screen. I'm convinced that my boss thinks I closed a screen that wasn't work related. FML
Today, I was on a conference call and digital meeting at work when I got bored and started surfing the Internet. Little did I know that my desktop was being shared. My boss was on the call and saw everything. FML
Today, my boss told me I can't use the computer for entertainment. This coming from the same person who spends hours at a time every day on Facebook and other similar websites. I'm also not allowed to sit down while using the computer, which I use about half of the day. FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Today, I got fired from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML
Today, my boss came up to my desk to talk about a new project. He came up to my monitor so we can go to a website. My browser had frozen and I couldn't close it. The tabs I had open: Facebook, Gmail, Careerbuilder, Monster, and Resume Samples. FML
Today, my boss decided to post a photo of a piece of crap on Facebook. He tagged me in it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

One thing I learned about the workplace is that there will always be double standards between the boss and those who are lower. All you can do is accept the fact and move on.

Or snap a quick photo of it and call her out on it.

Yeah, see how well that goes. In my experience, it backfires.

You know the way you call her your boss? That means there's a different standard...

If both you and your boss do your work flawlessly, there isn't anything wrong...

It’s good to be the boss! If this bugs you so much, start your own company and be the boss.

My manager once lectured me for having a phone on me at work (even though it's always in my pocket and kept on silent) I only have it in case of emergency, especially since the store's phones aren't able to make out going calls. Not a good enough reason, apparently. Even worse, I later saw the same manager happily chatting on her cell during the slow hours of work. Basically, whatever rules or standards apply to you, don't apply to your boss. Sucks, I know.

I once worked with this girl under me (I was assistant manager), and she used to get on to me and others for being on their phones but would have hers out watching YouTube, even when customers were there needing help.

Well, she's the boss, so she makes the rules. You shouldn't be on Facebook at work regardless unless it's work-related. Hypocritical bosses are nothing new.

this FML reminds me of my workplace. We have a zero-tolerance cell phone policy for all staff. except for the boss, she says she needs to have the phone on here and may even be using it because she's the boss, and should have it on here at all times. OP, just accept that she's the boss and move on. You shouldn't be wasting your precious time on Facebook anyways. nothing on there but nonsense and cat pictures.
