Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML

Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML

Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML

Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said "Oh well. Get to work." FML

Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML

Today, I got written up at work over false accusations that I didn't do some safety tasks. The same tasks that were done before I had even arrived. FML

Always hate when that happens. I started taking a picture of my schedule after the second time my manager did that.

And then you complained and got written up for insubordination. And you threw down the write-up and got written up for littering. And you got written up for having explosive diarrhea even though that was on the other side of the country in a whole, separate FML! They've just got it in for you.

I was told 12 hours before a shift I had to show up or would be fired, even though I was not on the schedule. I had made plans to attend church which I had to miss the past 2 weeks due to work.

*Sigh* so many NOT happy memories of managers and schedules... not sure why, but my work insisted on having the idiot who couldn't do scheduling (the head manager even admitted this) do the schedule. They don't ever deny RTOs that were put in on time. Ever. Yet she always lost them... it was a huge headache cause the "real" managers ended up having to fix it. It was always great when you said, "hey, I put in a request for that date like 3 weeks ago...." and the "real" manager says, "I know you did, I remember seeing it." Guess I worked with some honest people though. FYL, that sucks. I agree with the people who have said "get some proof." Take a picture of the schedule. Don't let them lie to you. And unless you work for a very, very small place, there will be someone you can report them to. I still have pictures on my phone of a sign that said, "If you work 5 hours and do not take a break, I will edit your timecard to show one." Can you say ILLEGAL? It doesn't matter if they were supposed to take a break or not, you can't not pay someone for time worked, especially minors. (Different job.)

Tell another manager, like the store one, and get it DEALT with. That crap will come back to screw you over later. Don't just take it, fight it. My scheduling manager was like that, she wanted me gone, and in the end she got what she wanted..

My bosses did that all the time. You'd check it on week end. Then not go to work on the days you're rostered off, and they'd call and say "Where are you, you where meant to be here". They said I have to go into work everyday to check the roster incase I'm on. Because it's ok to screw up my plans.
