Today, at my new job, I walked into the office to hear my supervisor and HR manager talking about how, "the new guy isn't very smart, but we can get him to do the shit work for a couple weeks." Gee, thanks. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my new supervisor arrived after my old one had transferred away and we had a quick evaluation meeting. As it turns out, I'm not actually a good employee like I thought. I just had a shitty boss who didn't care enough to let me know I wasn't meeting company standards. FML

Today, I showed up to my new job early, hoping to impress my new boss. When he arrived, he walked by me and muttered, "Fucking tryhard." FML

Today, after working my ass off for months for an open supervisor job at my work, I found out that they hired someone for the position. The guy has never worked for the company before, has a background completely unrelated to what we do, and has to be trained as he knows nothing about what we do. FML

Today, my manager sat me down and insinuated that it's my fault that our new hires are useless. Not one person ever told me that I was responsible for training them. I'm not in charge, and they've been here for weeks. FML

Office Space

Today, I started at my new job. Turns out my boss is a complete douchebag. He spent most of the day looking over our shoulders and making cuntish comments about our work, then called a guy a piece of shit for farting and forced him to spray disinfectant on his chair. FML

Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML

Today, I got a new job and told everyone about it. A few hours later, I got an email from the executive saying I actually don't have the job anymore. FML

Today, on my second day at my new job, my supervisor told me that I was ready to make a sale on my own. Things were going well, until said supervisor interrupted my sales pitch, apologized on my behalf for being new, and stole my sale. FML

Meritocracy

Today, my boss brought his son in as our new manager. This kid has zero experience in our industry and yet waltzed into a £75,000 job where his sole responsibility is telling me how to do a skilled job I started before he was born. Plus half the stuff he tries to tell me is incorrect. Cretin. FML

Today, I got a new job. This would've been a good thing, but apparently, the person I'm replacing was very well-liked around my workplace. All of my co-workers hate me now for replacing someone who I don't even know. FML

Just quit and find a new job. Or stick it out and show them that you are worth keeping. There's two solutions to every problem.

Here's your chance to prove them wrong. Be a total badass and make them feel shitty.

don't quit your job stick it out show them you are more then they expected. apply for other jobs while you work there and once you get something better quit and watch them beg you to stay.

Start looking for a new job, maybe this just is not the job for you. Just because you don't excel at this job doesn't mean you won't excel elsewhere. We all have different talents and strengths.

The same thing pretty much happened to me at my work. I'm not stupid, but most of my coworkers seem to think so. They practically ignore me most of the time, and when they talk to me, I can hear the condescending tone in their voices. They also leave all the crap jobs like taking out the trash to me. I want to quit or say something, but this is my first job and my mom is friends with my boss.

Doesn't mean you have to put up with it. If people see a weakness they'll exploit it. I'm almost 40 and have lots of experience with difficult coworkers. Unfortunately attitudes not much different at a McDonald's or an investment firm. Be polite but let people know you aren't gonna take their crap
