Today, my college professor/employer failed to send in a letter I had been counting on for a scholarship application. He has also decided not to pay me for the last two months. I'm not going to make rent. Apparently this is the punishment you get for politely declining a date with a married man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML
Today, I got a letter saying I was no longer a student at my college and my current work is void since I had ignored and refused to pay my tuition bill. Over the past month I've been deleting these pesky emails saying 'FINAL WARNING regarding payment' thinking it was more spam. They weren't. FML
Today, I got an email stating that my scholarship request was denied, 51 days after applying with no response. I'm now forced to drop-out from my college degree because I ran out of money, and I've been unsuccessful at finding a job for two years either, thanks to Covid. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML
Today, I texted my flatmate to ask him when he would be paying his portion of the rent, since he has told me he would be late this month. He wrote back to inform me that he had moved out last night while I was away, and that he won't be paying me anything. FML
Today, I found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Never count on a scholarship. You're an idiot for doing that.

#14 you are an idiot for not being able to read. It clearly states she was counting on the letter for an application for a scholarship. Sue the living pants off of him and the school. Even without a 'smoking gun', most institutions will settle out of court to avoid the public getting wind of this. Also, he surely does not want this to come out because it will ruin his marriage. You will easily make this schmuck's life miserable.

I'm also pretty sure there are laws against not paying you unless he can prove you've done something wrong. Bring a sexual harassment suit down on his head.

While most universities have a policy against faculty and students dating, hers may not, so it wouldn't necessarily have been sexual harassment for him to ask her out. Highly inappropriate, yes, but not necessarily sexual harassment, based on her school's definition. The problem seems to have been that he sabotaged her chances of getting the scholarship and that he's been witholding pay, and this seems to have been a relatively recent thing. If it's not harassment until it becomes a coercive or intimidating action, then it hasn't been harassment until recently. My point is, if she's still working in an unpleasant environment due to having rejected his advances, then she is currently experiencing harassment. So saying she should have complained when it happened is sort of unnecessary.

Actually, I think apfluxx makes a lot of sense. It's your post that I find to be bullshit.

This screams talking to the school's ombudsman. If there is a contract stating how much you should be paid, you'll at least get your pay check. As for the letter, there is also bringing up that with the ombudsman and/or department head, being that this seems to be due to an act of sexual harassment. But, I'd always double check my facts before hand, make absolutely sure that this is "punishment" for not going on the date, and not "punishment" for refusing to talk to a potential source of grant money.

He only employed you and was ready to help with the scholarship in hopes of sexual services. Get some real skills! P.S. Yeah i know this might not be the case, but its not as 100% sure in the other way as the current comments would make one think.

He cannot just decide not to pay you. Go to his boss, you did work and you got to get paid. Don´t write about it on FML and go and fight for what is yours.

OK, OK, "don´t JUST write on FML and do something about it" better ?

Do you still have some evidence that he invited you to dinner?
Shady_R 0
He could have done it via email or text message or left an incriminating voicemail. And even if the invite isn't, something else that he said that might be incriminating could be recorded in some fashion.
