Today, while buying paint, I began to help an elderly woman working to lift some heavy boxes. She told me what a nice young lady I was. Then her boss came over, screamed at her for being lazy and fired her. She cried. So did I. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, an old lady came to the bank where I worked at to apply for a loan. She obviously didn't qualify for one as she has no income coming in. She looked so pitiful, so I changed a couple of her information so she could. She reported me and I got fired. FML
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, I was at work as a cashier. An old lady unbagged everything I had, and angrily "taught" me how to bag. She put potatoes on her eggs and broke them. She then screamed that I was useless and retarded in front of all my other customers and manager. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, my boss came around to my way of thinking. He called our customers a "bunch of assholes" and to kick them out if they gave me trouble. When a lady began yelling at me for "setting the damn prices too high" I told her to leave. My boss soon bitched me out for being unprofessional. FML
Today, I got in an argument with my boss and I dared him to fire me because he has always said he couldn’t run the shop without me. Turns out he was just being nice all this time, my job could in fact be done by his 14 year-old niece with no training in two thirds the time. Yes, he fired me. FML
Today, I was short shifted at work because one of my employees decided not to show up. Furious, I wrote her up and made predetermined judgments about her. When she came in, I went off on her for being absent and leaving me stuck. She then informed me her mom tried to commit suicide. FML
Today, while I was walking home, I noticed an elderly man in a wheel chair trying to paint his garage so I went over to help. His response was verbal abuse and a slap to the face with a wet paint brush. FML
Today, I assisted my first customer at my first job as a Target cashier. When I rang up this lady's items and gave her the total, not only did she hiss at me and spit in my face, but she also dragged my manager over and demanded that he fire me. He did. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

**** everyone's lives. But really? Just this instance of helping an employee led to said employee's termination? What the serious ****.

You should have punched him in the neck. Nothing to lose but getting a ride to the police station and who knows you could have made him cry

Why people do that?

They just can't see anyone helping anyone else.

my question is "why is she working at such an old age?" OP did say "elderly"

"Elderly" can mean a lot of things. She could have been 50 or 60 years old, which still would have been young enough to be employed. ^^

Um, do you know much about the economy in eastern Canada? It is shit. There are no jobs, and several mills in Nova Scotia just shit down putting about 2500 people out of work. Many of them declared bankruptcy which meant that some pensions were lost. That lady could have been forced to go back to work, or had to keep working in order to make up for lost income. I lived in Nova Scotia until I was 24, then hit the road. The economy is awful. However, not everyone can leave, especially the older folks. A lot more seniors are working and many people are retiring later than they used to there.

This isn't social Darwinism.

But it's not a way around the fact that she could be severely injured doing what he assigned. As you get older, your bones become frail. It is a simple fact of life. Because of this fact she can sue for unsafe work environments.

Random bit of info... Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla to a gallon of paint and the room will smell amazing after painting! There are no effects to the paint color either :)
