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

Be grateful for what you have and not wanting more. Your fault

Your original cubicle was small. Your new one is twice as small, so it's double the original one. Sounds to me like you got what you asked for.

YDI. What makes you deserve a bigger one when everyone else has to stay with the same size one? If you don't like your job quit and get a new one.

Has it occured to you that some people are physically bigger than others? I'm 6'6", and I need a helluva lot more leg room than most.

FYL I think it's because you lack intelligence, it's "half the size" not "twice as small" !!

Today, I came home early from business trip to Paris, where I bought an engagement ring. I was going to take my girlfriend of two years out and propose to her. I sneaked into our house as a surprise and… she was having sex with another man. Now I have a ring that I can only return in France. FML
