Today, at my workplace, I saw a system crashing. I mean literally, my manager was throwing my colleague's laptop at him while shouting around the office. This is only my second day. FML

Today, my boss tried to knock down a tower of empty boxes next to me while yelling, "Beat it, nerd!" A box hit my face and knocked my glasses off. I got bullied by my boss. FML

FREAKOUT!

Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML

Today, at work, my computer started acting up. I told my boss I could fix it, but he told me to call the IT department instead. Neither the IT technician or his supervisor could figure it out, so I showed them what was wrong and how to fix it. I was promptly fired for wasting 2 hours of company time. FML

Pranksters

Today, I started my new job. It seems my colleagues are moronic pranksters, because when I leaned back in my chair, the backrest came apart and I fell to the ground, to much laughter. My boss immediately shouted at me to, "Stop fucking about." I thought this only happened in movies. FML

Today, I was in a meeting with my boss and superiors as well as our clients. About two hours in I started playing with the lid of the pen I was using, next thing I saw was the lid flicking up and hitting my boss square in the middle of the head. FML

Today, at work, I leaned back in a chair too far, causing me to tip over and smash my head into a wall. If that wasn't enough damage, my boss keeps replaying the security footage to everyone I work with. My head hurts not from the fall, but the loud laughter that keeps coming from inside the office.

Today, I found out that my coworker shared a laugh with the boss about setting the office desk on fire (which he actually did), while ten minutes later I was threatened with being fired because I made paper snowflakes and hung a few of them next to the computer. FML

Today, at work, my manager fell in front of an entire lobby full of people on a wet floor. I'm the only one who burst out laughing. Turns out she has a broken arm. FML

Today, I watched a manager and a co-worker sit underneath a table in our store all day as I got yelled at for not working hard enough. I was the only one actually working. FML

That sounds like an episode of the Office. I can totally see Michael Scott doing that to somebody...

Oh I so don't miss office work. Been in a few like that myself. I just hope it was a bad, abnormal occurrence. Keep your head down and your resume out there just in case.

OP: Your manager sounds like a bully. No one should ever be shouted at while at the workplace unless of course the person shouting is yelling "Fire", "Danger" or something very similar, let alone have a laptop thrown at them. As this manager can potentially make your life a living hell in the future you may want to encourage the person on the receiving end to document the incident and have them report this to HR. Hopefully you and a few colleagues will be brave enough to support your colleague and you can successfully have the bully reprimanded or removed from your workforce.

Sorry but it's legal if you are the manager. I knocked out cold 4 of my fast-food employees last month and never had any legal issue: i put a little paragraph for that in the contract! And the customers love it!

I once got in trouble for punching this old fart of a cleaner bitch. It did take a lot of paper work to get her off my back and fire her... but now i have the respect of my employees again.

#33: Yeah, it's totally your employees' fault. They should know not to piss you off when you're having your period. #35: Trust me, princess, none of your employees respect you. If you punched out a 6'4 ex-convict, maybe. But an old lady? Yeah, you're a pansy-assed little b*tch.
