Work: Goodbye

Goodbye

By scoobses - 02/10/2015 00:45 - United States

Today, my pain-in-the-ass co-worker is finally leaving. Unfortunately, I was chosen to do the bulk of her job. She has given me no training and on her last day, just smirked at me on her way out and said, "Enjoy doing my job too, fucker." I don't get paid enough for this. FML

Today, on my first day of work, my new boss treated me to lunch. Thinking she was really nice, I thanked her for the treat. She fixed me with a cold, unsmiling stare and said, "Oh, don't thank me. I'm being paid to do this." FML

Meritocracy

Today, after six months of doing the job of 2 people, because all my coworker does is sleep and sit down with her phone, I told my boss that I can't be doing my coworker's job and getting the same salary as her. My boss added just $10 to my salary and told me to let her carry on doing nothing, while I still do the work of 2 people. FML

Today, I found out that one of my subordinates, who is whiny, incompetent, undermining, the definition of passive-aggressive and stupid, was given a pay raise. She now makes more than me. My boss values a complete moron over me. FML

Today, my boss quit his job and stopped coming in without warning. Guess who just inherited his tasks and responsibilities without the training or pay associated with his manager role. I was hired last year as a junior system admin. FML

Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML

Today, the manager that hired me and worked for years to inspire and connect her staff was laid to rest. Hours before the funeral, her replacement told me he wanted my 2 weeks notice on his desk tonight. I've been a model employee, he just doesn't like me. FML

Now hiring

Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML

Today, I got a new job. This would've been a good thing, but apparently, the person I'm replacing was very well-liked around my workplace. All of my co-workers hate me now for replacing someone who I don't even know. FML

Exploitation

Today, I quit my job after being the only one to do my job, the boss's job, and the other guy’s job. Their way of saying thank you for being the best employee they'd had was to fuck me on my paycheque and give me $70 for a week's work. FML

Explain to your boss about it, and maybe the load will be shared, or you could be helped!

Don't wait a week or so, let your boss know as soon as you can and explain the situation. He or she will be able to help.

The good thing is she's gone...bad thing is her training for the new position was obviously not given due to her impeding absence...she should at least have some courtesy but for some reason I knew it wasn't coming... Hope all goes well op

As a boss of many people.... believe me we know who the good workers are and who isn't. Unfortunately the laws of our country are used to support these worthless people and make it difficult to eliminate them from their positions. Gotta love our government....

actually, in the US, it's not at all hard to fire people. you just have to document your reasons. Many states have "at will" employment laws so companies can fire you even without cause unless you're in a protected group. of so you simply have to document the reason for the firing.

it's too bad when someone else shield all their responsibilities, and you are forced to cover.

You'll learn from all of this.. Plus you'll get experience for a promotion.,. Or a new job!

Talk to your boss and HR and explain this to them so you don't get in trouble for doing a bad job ( not saying that you will ) and ask to get the proper training.
