Today, on my first day of a new factory job, I discovered that my new boss had lied to me about my hours. I found this out when my coworkers burst out laughing when I mentioned having the weekends off, and talking about my recreational plans. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my first day at my new job. My new boss asked me if I was single. After telling him I have been happily married for 6 years, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, I excitedly got ready for my first day at my new job. I arrived on time, dressed up, only to find out they meant next Monday, not today. My new boss just gave me a weird look and said, "See you next week?" FML
Today, I went to my first day of work in over 2 years. As I approached the boss, he asked me what my name was. Turned out they hired the wrong person. FML
Today, it was my first day of work at my new job. I got dressed and arrived early, only to find out that the store had closed due to a power outage. Then I found out that the person who'd hired me had totally forgotten about hiring me anyway. FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, at my new job, my coworkers pranked me by moving around the things on my desk. I was horribly upset by it and reported them all to HR. Now no one will talk to me and I'm the office pariah within my first week. FML
Today, I walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML
Today, I got a new job and told everyone about it. A few hours later, I got an email from the executive saying I actually don't have the job anymore. FML
Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Guys, sometimes people need a job so badly they don't have the luxury of quitting just because they have a crap boss.

Thumbs up for you madam. People seem to be missing the point that OP is probably desperate for a job if they're taking a factory job. Makes this FML a whole lot worse for OP :

I think you need to find a new job. We all need some time to just relax once in a while!

Should have got the days off written in stone by the POS manager.

It's a new job, you shouldn't be expecting weekends off your first week on the job anyway. But it sucks that your boss lied.

And why not? When you start a job you sign a contract regarding the hours you will work. If weekends aren't in your contract you shouldn't be expected to do them unless there's a clause about helping out when other people are off sick etc. OP read your contract, fight the boss or get out of there! If you didn't even sign an agreement...FYL.

I'm not sure where you're from but at least in the southeastern US VERY few jobs, especially factory jobs, include any sort of contract of employment. In fact labor laws in general tend to work in favor of companies because the states are so desperate to have ANY jobs for their residents.

All jobs have some sort of contract it's an agreement of rates etc, and there is some validity to a verbal contract. If it's all verbal go in and charge them triple time for weekends and say it was what you discussed :)

#57- You've never "punched the clock" before have you? It's a factory job, you work when they tell you to, and you get your hourly pay for the hours the clock shows. Who exactly would she be "charging them triple time to"? That stuff might work in lawyer land, but not in an hourly paid factory position.

Are you keeping the job? If you are I think we know what your new home is...

You can sue for that... Or at least, quit!

Yeah I don't think that's legal... Do a little research

Oh, its very much legal. Unless the op got a written contract stating their hours, which is virtually unknown on this continent, he is expected to show up when they tell him to for at least the first fourty hours a week. It can be more hours depending on where you are.

Almost every bids lies about how good the job is to attract people or make people work hard but that was cruel.
