Today, I realized my workplace has incompetent employees who should be fired, while others who made one mistake did get fired. Our boss does nothing about complaints, except tell the offender everything you said. This environment is toxic but it's a job. Never seen such backstabbing and cliques EVER. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm working in a book company where the boss is stingy, and has promoted an incompetent and rude manager. This trickled down to the whole department where I work being ran as a ego-stroking place. The colleagues are the worst type of people imaginable with jealousy and inferiority complexes at their core. FML
Today, all my coworkers are incompetent and I'm constantly fixing their mistakes. I've tried to help them to make fewer mistakes. They don't care. I've tried talking to their supervisors. They don't care either. I've been escalating matters step by step. I finally talked to the CEO about it. He doesn't care either. FML
Today, I work at a super toxic workplace, where the owner/boss takes part in some rude/bullying behavior and does nothing when I'm being bullied by coworkers. As a matter of fact, he takes their side. I have been looking for a new job in what I do, but haven't had any luck. FML
Today, I'm stuck in a dead-end job with no future but can't quit as I have bills to pay. My manager is the most incompetent person I've ever worked for, and he has hired a bunch of his friends who are incompetent as fuck. The CEO doesn't seem to care as he just focuses on business and money. no one cares, and mediocracy is rewarded. FML
Today, my co-workers and I have to fight for our jobs because of a mistake our managers made. They get to keep their jobs. FML
Today, I was fired because I spoke up about a supervisor mistreating me. The assistant VP spent the meeting demeaning me to “teach me a lesson” and then said she was firing me because I “stirred the pot." Man, I really loved that job but I won’t miss the toxic work culture. 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 boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, my boss held a meeting to talk about how we can't overlook others and no one should pick favorites. I walked out unemployed when I pointed out that she completely ignored the person who made the biggest sale in company history and constantly gave her son raises for mediocre work. FML
Today, my manager sat me down and insinuated that it's my fault that our new hires are useless. Not one person ever told me that I was responsible for training them. I'm not in charge, and they've been here for weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like my job. It’s also the main reason I learned years ago, work is not a place to make friends and keep your mouth shut.

Surely you must recognize that your complaining about specific employees at work just raises the “backstabbing” at work. And of course anything you say to a coworker or customer has a significant chance of getting back to your boss. It’s much better unless there is a problem that prevents you from doing your job to talk to boss about tasks, policies and procedures instead of complaining about individuals… Work is not a collection of friends having a good time together no matter what a TV show presents. You need to separate personalities from work tasks and concentrate on what it takes to do your job effectively. The more you complain about coworkers, or management’s decisions, the greater the risk that boss will come to see you as difficult to work with - And that is definitively not career enhancing.

This sounds like the faculty and staff at the local high school

Don't be a snitch. Go along to get along. Don't do anything and you won't make a mistake.

Current working situation is similar. Giving my 2 weeks tomorrow and getting a new job with a 50% pay bump.

Sounds a lot like my current job with the dead weight, and a prior collections job where as the operations manger I was fired for asking the owner a payroll question. People suck!
