Today, my boss showed me how he wants his office redecorating. We have employees on minimum wage and yet he wants a private bathroom, large screen TV, sofa and PlayStation, and a decorative suit of armour, all in an office that’s already bigger than my one bedroom flat. FML

Today, for the third time this week, my boss made me switch desks. Each new desk is closer to the door than the last one. I think he's trying to tell me something. FML

Today, I went into my former workplace. While there, an ex-coworker told me that after I quit, they split my position into two separate jobs. When I worked there, my boss had told me to suck it up whenever I said there was too much work for just one person. FML

Today, I had a discussion with my boss. I work at a self storage, and told her that we need 8 more security cameras so that we can cover all the hallways. She decided to get 2 put into the office so she can spy on her employees instead. FML

Just move your stuff back into your old office and if he asks why tell him that one wasn't working for you.

YDI for speaking such bad English. WTF is twice as small??? It's half the size, dumbo.

You obviously didn't deserve a larger cube. Try focusing on your job and maybe then you'll get a larger space. Until then, stop whining. I think it's awesome that your boss took the opportunity to show you how your priorities are wrong in such a funny way!

Whether you deserved the bigger cubicle I don't know, but your boss shouldn't have gave you a smaller one, he should of just expressed why he can't or won't give you a bigger one and leave you where you are.

Maybe your confusing wording is what caused this. Did you ask for a cubicle that is "half as bigger" than yours?

twice as small? really? more like "1/2 the size of....." .... maybe your WRITING skills, or lack thereof are the reason for a smaller cubicle? just be happy you HAVE a ******* job and quit complaining!! ****

Your writing skills aren't all that great, either. Just putting that out there.

Cubicles suck. You are not a convict. Drop your learned helplessness and get another job in a more humane environment.

Today, my girlfriend insisted on doing some stupid TikTok where we say one thing we’d change about each other. She hates that I don’t always put plates straight in the dishwasher. I hate that she gets her makeup all over the sink without cleaning it. She got mad and threw a book at my head. FML

Today, nine weeks after giving birth, my husband and I finally tried to have sex since a friend was watching the baby. Not only could I not get wet due to hormones, but as soon as he got back from buying lube, his drunk brother called needing a ride from the bar. No sex for me. FML

Today, an old woman came into my store for help. Towards the end, she asked me my name. I told her while pointing at my name tag. She then replied, "Oh! I didn't notice since I was staring at your boobs. Much prettier to look at." Sadly, this is the first time I've been hit on in months. FML

Today, I was told I've secured the job I applied for at my local hospital. Being just 19, this is a great opportunity, and I told my parents. They angrily asked if I'd applied just to get access to drugs, then demanded to know how I'd managed to pass the drug test. Thanks for the confidence. FML
