Today, I nearly got written up at work for missing an important memo. The memo was sent to everyone via the company Facebook group and not by our e-mail system. My manager could hardly believe people exist who have no Facebook account and have no intention of making one. FML

Today, I was caught going on Facebook at work. I was called into my boss's office to be reprimanded, and while he was lecturing me on the importance of staying focussed and the misuse of company property, his computer beeped. It was his Facebook chat notifying him of a new message. FML

Today, I was fired for not attending a mandatory meeting. I confronted my boss and told her I never heard anything about it, she told me that daily reminders had been sent out via email for weeks. She then discovered that she failed to enter my email address in the system. I was still fired. FML

Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML

Manager of the week

Today, my boss yelled at me for ignoring emails on my day off. Our emails are only accessible from work desktops, so I’d have had to be at my desk to answer it, which I had to explain to him 3 times before he understood. This is what happens when CEO’s promote their nephews to middle management. FML

Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML

Today, my boss used our communal notebook to bitch out our entire department for not leaving a note notifying her that one of the machines was down. She wrote it on the same page as the note I left saying that one of the machines was down. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML

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 from the job I'd had for eleven years for going onto Facebook while on the clock. When I got home, I saw that my boss had updated his status, from work, to "Finally fired that bitch." FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for having Facebook open at work. That's fine, I closed it and continued on with my work. In a meeting later on I could see the reflection of my boss's laptop screen in a mirror behind her desk. For two hours, I watched her scroll through her Facebook feed. FML

Your boss seems very unprofessional. Honestly, a company relying on Facebook messenger to keep employees in contact does not seem all too appealing to work for.

Having a Facebook page to advertise your business? Good. Using it to communicate with your staff? Stupid.

sounds like it's time to make a facebook like a normal person, henry david thoreau. there are people in the third world with facebook pages. do you think abstaining makes you some kind of intellectually superior iconoclast?

You don't have a fb account but you have an fml account?? What's the difference it's all social media..

Big difference...here you can anonymously take your frustrations out on strangers. On facebook, people pretend to be nice people to other people they barely know who are pretending the same thing. Or so I guess, because I don't have or want a facebook.

If you look it looks like op does NOT have an fml account. You can write fml and not have an account.

Same here I had to apply to a job who required to see my Facebook profile to see what kind of person I am. I have no profile and have no intention of making one. I can't apply any other way!

Most companies don't allow employees to go on FB at all, let alone encourage it. If it makes a difference I know several people who don't have a Facebook (or had one and closed it) because they just don't like social media. It's not especially uncommon.

That isnt really professional of them. Its kind of obvious if you dont have one as your name wouldnt have been in the message list. Imo, they were looking for a reason to fire you.
