Today, my slacker co-worker accused me of stealing because I got more hours than him. I was called into the manager's office and interrogated. They believed him, and sent me home for the day. I guess it pays off being the boss's kid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Today, my boss accused me of submitting fraudulent overtime claims. I proceeded to show him security footage of me at my desk for sometimes 18 hours a day, keeping the business from imploding. He then claimed he doesn’t actually have enough money in the accounts to pay me everything I’m owed. FML
Today, I got a talking-to at work from my new manager for eating other peoples' lunches. Immediately afterwards, I watched my manager leave the room, take MY lunch, and begin eating it. Apparently my new manager is the thief, and I'm now the office pariah who gets the blame. Nobody believes me. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, at work, a man punched me in the face because he said I took his son's job. He meant both me and his son applied for the same job. He also asked to speak to my boss, because he thinks I "cheated." FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML
Today, I drove a total of 4 hours for my boss to demote me, downgrade my pay, and make the kid I hired my new boss. Why? Because I asked about the $500 missing from my paycheck. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML
Today, my son claimed credit for a money-saving scheme at work that belonged to a colleague. He claimed this to someone in very upper management, but when they tried to ask follow-up questions, he obviously had no idea how to answer, admitted his lie and was sacked on the spot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The shittiest player on my old softball team got MVP over me just because she was the coach's daughter. I think you should just keep proving yourself to be better than him as a worker, and soon get promoted out of having to work with him.

Unfortunately yes OP it really does pay to be the bosses son. Nepotism really is hard to overlook and he probably doesn't want to believe his son would be a slacker. Hopefully you're a good enough worker for your boss not to punish you.

Oh I hate when the favourites get away with anything. I can only imagine what it'd be like with then being related. It's not fair at all. Unfortunately everywhere, every one plays favourites with their staff.

Hopefully OP is a good enough worker that they can get a job somewhere else. Personally, I wouldn't want to work at a place where you have that kind of co-workers and the boss thinks you're a theif.

Jealousy can be a sharp tool. Hate it when even in schools, a teacher or principal's child gets an upper hand when they don't deserve it.

Just use this job as a means to an end OP! Just use it as a means of making a living, until you find another, better job..

Your boss will know in time he ****** up when his son stays the same lazy shit, while you have the opportunity to get higher.

The president of a company I worked for had a son who returned from a year-long vacation/graduation present. After wandering around the office dabbling in a little of everything (except the duties he was assigned, those were handled by the person who was doing it before he came back) for a couple of months. Apparently he decided he liked my duties (as graphic designer) more than his, and I was laid off that week. Happily, my boss moved to another company a few weeks later, and I was re-hired at twice my previous salary. My former employer's catalogs, flyers, etc. were all my old templates, and didn't change; they had to outsource packaging design due to the fact that their "designer" didn't know how to do that. Try to move within your company, and burn as few bridges as you can.

If they really thought you're were stealing they would have fired you, not just sent you home. So there's that.

They can't really fire OP without proof, because then it would be wrongful termination.
