Thanks for the assistance

Today, I came in to work and found the conference room whiteboards completely clean. My assistant had wiped all the white boards where I'd spent 10 hours writing the schedule for the next three months. I was going to meet with all the supervisors to finalize that schedule today. FML

You should have taped a piece of paper to the board to remind people not to erase it. That really sucks =/

Agreed, too. But YDI because you should have written it down somewhere and/or typed it on the computer. Sure it took 10 hours writing it, but you have to remember that a lot of the 10 hours was spent thinking about what you were going to write on the board. So it wouldn't have taken that long to re-write it somewhere after you're done.

Hey, you are really cool. I "gooded" your comment because I really think that people who are second never get enough respect. It's always the first poster who gets all the fun.

To Everyone who's saying "Use a computer" she was ment to go over the schedule with her supervisors and MAKE CHANGES to it, which would be alot easier on a white board

that's stupid. you can edit things on the computer while they are being projected... AND save every few seconds.

Just because you can do that doesn't mean her company uses that kind of technology.

Assistant: Today, while finishing up my work I noticed writing, on the boards. As it was my job to do so, I wiped them clean and went home. I then arrived at work the next day with my boss asking where it all went. I just erased 10 hours of work. FML.

She spent TEN HOURS writing that out, and she has a meeting concerning what had been written out today. Have fun re-writing.

Agreed you need to put up some kind of sign or atleast tell him not to erase it. If you spent 10 hours writing it you need to be more careful.

No I think that signs are a crutch that help dumb people to stay that way. I am old school I say throat punch him and make him re-write it.

Who the hell erases stuff that isn't theirs? This is a business setting. You don't touch other people's shit unless you have permission to do so.

Agreed you should leave a note when you do such things it might be a custodian who wipes it next time .

That sucks. You should have left a P.L.O. tag somewhere on the board, but even so that still sucks.

Bingo! Next time you want something to stay on the board... write PLO

that sucks... well the assistant is definitely a keeper ;)

Geez people should stop getting all over the OP for this. You guys take pictures or stick post-its because you or someone before you experienced this before. However, the OP probably didn't even expect it since it has hardly ever happened before. You shouldn't expect her to prepare for what she didn't think of. Besides, after 10 hours, she was probably tired and just wanted to take a break.

I think it has more to do with common sense :)

The OP deserved it for not attempting to make sure said white boards were saved, which is just common sense. You're an idiot for defending the OP.

So if I don't THINK something then it is not my fault? So if I forget to save my paper I get to tell my teacher, hey I didn't think it would delete itself. Can I please have an extension? Yeah right.
