Mostly OK

By hatemyboss - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Alameda

Today, I asked my boss if I could have a bigger cubicle. I'm now working in one that is half the size of my old one. FML

It's not the size that matters. It's what you do with it ;)

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean. ;D

Yeah that's for sure. I think it's time to invade your bosses office! But no seriously work really hard and ask why he did it instead of just saying no.

assuming that they do work hard, they probably deserve a bigger cubicle

If the OP worked hard, the boss wouldn't go out of his way to give him/her the exact opposite of what he/she asked for.

16 - Just because the boss didn't give the OP what they'd requested, it doesn't automatically mean that they're not a hard worker. The boss seems like an immature douchebag for putting the OP in an even smaller cubicle. A simple 'no' would have sufficed.

16- in business, it's not always so clear-cut. Working hard doesn't always get acknowledged. Some bosses are just douchebags on a power trip and sometimes your coworkers will stab you in the back for a promotion, especially the ones who slack.

And sometimes the bosses are good people and the workers are lazy asses who always beg for stuff they don't deserve. Mah bad for taking it differently.

While you all (mostly) have good points, I voted FYL simply due to the fact that OP works in a ******* cubicle, period.

Ask for a smaller cubicle and a massive pay cut. Should turn out ok...

OP should get a miniature cactus to warn off approaching co-workers.

It is all about materialism. Every one wants a bigger size. Tv's, cars, houses, ****, pools, asses, gardens, dicks, bathtubs. Heck people themselves even get fat!
