Today, all the staff in my company were forced to attend an evening Chippendale show. Everyone in my department managed to think of a good reason to escape while I failed and no other choice but to go. I'm the only guy. FML

Today, I walked into our office and everyone started laughing. It turns out that I'd been the only one not in on the joke to come in dressed as a character from our favorite TV show. However, I'd dressed in normal work clothes. I’m the boss. FML

Today, after my boss asked me to work late on a Friday and I'd agreed, thinking it would show him my dedication to the corporation, I got to the office. I realized after a while that I was the only one there, and the building's security system had locked me in. I spent my Friday night talking to our office goldfish in an empty row of cubicles. FML

Today, I was alone at work after everyone had gone home and started practicing my "cool" walk for a date I was going on after leaving the office. As I was strutting around, the doors of a conference room opened to a group of my coworkers, including my boss. They hadn't all gone home, and they'd seen everything. FML

Today, my boss told me to go outside and take part in the company's stupid Harlem Shake video. When I declined, he threatened to fire me if I didn't take part. I ended up being the guy who had to furiously pelvic thrust before the music dropped. FML

Today, the CEO of my company told me the only reason I'm being sent to this huge tech conference is because the company will look better with a girl there. I'm expected to stay out until 4am with creepy rich business partners to stroke their egos. FML

That joke isn't funny anymore

Today, my boss caught me singing and dancing in the office when I thought no one was around. Trying to save face, I told him I was just practicing for a team-building event. He smiled and said, "Great, you can lead the next one." Now I have to choreograph a team-building dance. FML

Today, my boss went out for a few hours. My coworkers saw this as an opportunity to take a 2 hour lunch without getting caught. I stayed at the office to answer the phone, while streaming videos which is a big no no. My boss came back early and caught me, they're all still taking lunch. FML

Today, I went to work in my best outfit for the big corporate party we were having later in the day. When I arrived, my boss said, "You missed one hell of a party yesterday!" Shit. FML

Today, despite over 100 colleagues agreeing to attend a protest over our working conditions, no one turned up because they were too afraid of losing their jobs. Since I was alone, I was sacked on the spot and physically thrown out. FML

I think "I'm a guy" would have been a pretty good excuse.

I have a hard time believing you were 'forced' to go. Like your job security was dependent upon you going to an evening Chippendale show.

For all the times that men in companies have women employees go to strip clubs for hiring and promotional gigs, this opposite situation makes me lol a lot. Funny how if it was a woman having to go to a strip club the men wouldn't think twice.

I've never heard of this happening from a man, a woman, or otherwise. "all the times"? Please.

It happens more often than you think. Big corporations do it regularly - Dell, Apple, a lot of male-dominated start-ups. I've had friends that work in these places that have complained about it regularly.

And this would fall under a sexual harassment category. You weren't forced. This is bogus.

*Blank stare* Everyone was FORCED to go, but your WHOLE department minus you... didn't because they had a good excuse... that doesn't seem very "Forced". I'm iffy on this being all that real...

Sounds like OP actually wanted to go. The only thing "forced" would be his boner back into his pants once the music starts.

Wow, um... why is everyone having fun calling OP gay rather than making any sort of remark about how incredibly inappropriate this is for a work function? This is definitely not okay.
