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?

If your boss already ****** you over, find a new job! He won't change.

The new person NEVER gets weekends off. Never. Even if you work for a business that closes the office on the weekends, the new guy is still stuck there.

if he said don't come in on weekends, don't go to work on weekends then.

You actually are lucky for even getting a job. But that does suck. They should tell you the truth.

I'm pretty sure you all are missing the point...OP isn't expecting the weekends off for no reason! His manager probably sent him a schedule with the weekends off, thus OP thinking this. And this is freaking aweful..there's a reason schedules are made.

I'm "part" time. My hours range from 40-60 each week, and I'm only a sever/cashier at a restaurant. Also, I come in early when the boss asks and stay late, work on my days I'm scheduled to be off...

I'm pretty sure it's illegal for the company/business to have you as "part-time" while making you work 40 hours (which is full time.) The reason they're trying to keep you labeled as part-time is in order to avoid giving you particular benefits that are required of them to give full-time employees. I would look into it, as you're seriously being screwed.

You own your time, not the factory. They buy you'd much time as you want to sell. It's a sellers market. If you don't want to work weekends then don't. It won't kill you.

You've clearly never worked in a factory.

Sounds like you need a Union....and based on some of these other comments, sounds like you ain't the only one.
