Compression wars

By Guido - 09/03/2022 18:00

Today, I was written up and banned from playing my songs at the office. Turns out that my other workmates snitched on me because I was playing '90s rock and pop, which was stressing them out somehow. Of course, the burnout I had from listening to three straight hours of tacky Reggaeton music didn't matter. FML

Today, my boss sat me down to discuss the sounds my co-workers have heard coming from my cubicle. Apparently my music sounds like the background tracks from shitty soft-core porn movies. I'm getting a three day suspension while they go through all my files. FML

Who talks to you like that at work?

Today, I decided to listen to some music at work, so I plugged in my headphones and turned on Spotify. Only the music decided to play out loud instead. I was called a “disrespectful little bitch who wasn’t raised right” for not using my headphones. FML

FIFA 2022

Today, me and three other colleagues were fired for playing the World Cup on our PCs. We weren’t even watching the games, we just let it play on a separate tab while we did our due diligence at work. Turns out, there’s a snitch in our office, none other than the girl who said, “That sport shit is lame.” FML

Rock n Roll is a dirty business

Today, I was in a band with some friends and we got our first gig at a local festival, but I'd already agreed to work serving drinks at the festival. My bandmates got really annoyed and kicked me out of the band. They then went ahead and performed the song that I WROTE, without me, at the festival where I was working. FML

Today, I got written up for “making a big show” of being exhausted at work. I was trying to hide it. FML

"If I could turn back time…"

By inappropes - This FML is from back in 2019 but it's good stuff

Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML

Today, I lost my earbuds on the subway to work, so I had to listen to my boss's terrible music all day. FML

Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML

Today, I was fired from my job because I, in my boss's words, "Abided by company policy to such an extent that customers were starting to hate me." FML

Today, my neighbours came to yell at me as they could hear my "shit music" through my window during the afternoon, so I turned it off. They then began to play their definition of "quality music" into the late hours of the night. I was listening to the Beatles. They blasted Nicki Minaj. FML

I recommend earbuds if you're allowed.

So your burnout matters, but theirs doesn't? It sucks that you had to listen to music you don't like. It also sucks that your coworkers also had to listen to music they don't like. It does sound really freakin' silly to write you up though - is there someone higher up you could ask to reconsider that part?

You sound very self-centered. I'm glad I don't have to work with you.

I hate reggaeton so I'm totally on your side on this one. FYL and teach 'em what music is !

You played "I'm Too Sexy," "Ice, Ice Baby," and "Barbie Girl" and expect to NOT get shivved? Daddy Yankee is better than that shit. Ever since they invented Walkmans, why do people have to listen to anyone else's music?

I’m lucky I haven’t gotten the ban hammer when it comes to playing music in the kitchen at work. I play a lot of foreign rock and pop music. I’d rather listen to J-rock over shitty rap and hip hop

Sounds like it's seriously time to invest in a good pair of headphones

Some of the 90s rock stuff is pretty dark, aside from that, I'd readjust your music playlist, ask them if there are any certain songs they want to hear or don't like, and you all take turns with your music
