Money and Work: Infuriating

Infuriating

By Lauren - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, my husband declined a $100k/year job due to him thinking that a full-time job at one work place would be too "depressing." I'm a nurse and have to wipe other people's arses for a living, then come home to this lazy dick. FML

Same thing different taste

For better and for worse

Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML

Narcissist

By Jesica Mcgee - 29/10/2020 18:02 - United States - Ferndale

Today, I got a job, a good job with benefits, a 401(k), and took a lot of work to get this: background check, drug testing, being qualified and I need to pay bills. I can't even be happy because my husband got demoted. It's all about him, and fuck my hard work. FML

Today, my husband has a chronic illness and can't work. We have 2 special needs kids who need a lot of assistance. Rent continues to go up and went up this year $570 for a total of $1800. I've taken up a second job to make ends meet, but it's increasing my depression. FML

Get out

By Let Me go - 27/08/2022 02:00

Today, my husband needs the money from my job, but will in no way support me to work. He NEVER cooks, cleans, or picks up after himself. I've got no place to work, except a nook by the bathroom, and I have to manage my toddler, who always poops only when I'm in a meeting, and cries for me. Quitting my job is "out the question." FML

Money ain't everything

Today, I found out my husband's new income since leaving his old job. He decided to leave a $130,000 job for a $47,000 job. FML

Quit or fired?

Today, my husband had to quit his job. Five months ago, we paid a deposit on a brand new house, and the title and mortgage need to be finalized next week. His work is forcing him out because he wanted to do his job safely and to a high standard of workmanship. FML

A bit of a Karen

By Anonymous - 18/09/2023 18:02 - United States - Yonkers

Today, my wife, who has been unemployed for over two years, had a $415k job offer rescinded, all because the hiring manager thinks she might be a Karen (Yes, she is). My job contract ended last month, so we have no income. FML

Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML

Today, I tried convincing my husband to spend his day off work with me because we both work a lot, and have almost no time to spend together. His literal response was, “I’d rather pick a shift up at work.” FML

Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML

Um are you a privet nurse? From what you said sounds like your not though. If you wipe peoples ass for a living then you are a CNA which are NOT nurses. CNA means "Certified Nurse Assistant" your a assistant to a nurse not a nurse. My moms been a nurse for 25 yours and says I never had to wipe someones ass becuase I have a CNA for that.

man, some people are narrow minded, judgemental and so eager to slap everyone else down in an effort to make themselves look good. With the wonders of the internet the whole world can communicate. Did you even look at where the post originated? Nurses in other countries and even other states in the same country may have different roles and job descriptions....here NURSES, not assistants (my hospital doesn't even employ assistants), do everything from clean your toes to manage you while intubated

No sex because he has no job... Yeah... great solution and while she's out working and he's sitting there needing sex, out he goes and gets some from another woman... Great solution.

Not everyone wants that kind of life, and he should do what he thinks will work for him. Its better that he keeps a job or jobs that he can tolerate than taking one that will make him miserable. If money is more important to you than his happiness maybe he should be looking for a new spouse not a new job. It seems he would be better off.

in a "relationship" TWO people work to help and support each other. one sided relationships are not true relationships

Screw all of you feminist sexists. Don't complain about him not getting the 100k job because he doesn't want too. I bet he doesn't have a go at you for not getting a better degree so you earnt more money. It's his life. If I go get a good degree and then have to deal with a partner who barely scraped through college and has a go at me for not getting a full time job when she earns crap all i'd leave her.
