Today, I walked into work, a day after losing my shit with our systems admin, due to her taking ages to enable my new email account. I was soon bitched out, warned, and suspended over several lewd emails having been sent overnight from my account to various female co-workers. FML

Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Today, I accidentally mistyped "one sec" as "one sex" in a group chat at work. I apologized and corrected myself immediately, but some bitch with too much free time was so offended that she reported me to HR anyway. I'm suspended while they look into it, and my girlfriend is convinced I did it on purpose. FML

Today, I got a harsh warning from my boss. I apologized because I was genuinely in the wrong. My girlfriend found out about it and sent my boss a message, threatening to kick her ass. I'm now suspended. Thanks babe. FML

Today, I was logging into my work computer. My account became locked due to the many failed attempts at typing my password. Thinking I was alone, I said, “Fuck this shit” while dragging the keyboard off my desk. Turns out my supervisor was in the other room. I'd forgotten I'd changed my password the other day. FML

Today, I finally had enough of my coworker mocking and misgendering my transgender daughter, so I screamed at him. I got written up and suspended without pay for 2 weeks. He got praise from our boss for handling the situation with class. FML

Today, I sent an email to my boss saying I'd fixed a glitch in our mail servers. He called me later, angrily shouting that I'd done a piss-poor job of fixing it, because my email had spammed his inbox with several hundred duplicate messages. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

Pick and choose your battles. There's some people you just have to be nice to, especially at a job you're trying to keep.

Just like with food, you don't mess with people who handle important things.

She got you good. Don't lose your shit with people who have power, they will rape you.

At least she didn't upload child **** on your work computer. Otherwise, your ass would be in prison and spending your life savings to prove your innocence.

She should learn how to do her job and then not try to screw you over when you call her on it. Where are are all these YDI coming from?

Perhaps she had stuff do as well as OP. Either way, nobody in this FML displayed any emotional intelligence. Pure pettiness.

> Where are are all these YDI coming from? "The sysadmin is always right" and "workplace ethics are for puny mortals of the male persuasion" have just intersected.

I said YDI because you don't "lose your shit" with anyone. OP doesn't know what was taking the sys admin so long; everyone has their own priorities and deadlines set by their own bosses. Yes, sys admin did something pretty nasty to OP, but OP is far from innocent here.

And this is why you shouldn't be an asshole. Especially at work and ESPECIALLY with the computer people. That's probably gonna happen every time OP's computer has a problem lol. It sucks that OP got in trouble at work, but YDI for "losing your shit."

You deserved it. You should know better than to mess with a BOfH. The sysadmin has more power than you can believe, and can almost always cover their tracks. That's one person you NEVER want to piss off. I know because I AM a sysadmin, and while I would never do this type of thing to anyone, I know the power is there.
