Today, is the blizzard. I have to go into work, my boss threatened to fire me if I didn't show up. I sent him a picture of the snow completely covering my car. He said I moved the snow there and could move it back. FML

Today, my boss texted me to say the office was closed because of the snow. I begged him to let me go in anyway because I had nothing to do all day. I have no life, friends or hobbies. FML

Today, a snow storm rolled into my small town, leaving my car stuck under 3 feet of snow. I called my boss to tell her I couldn't drive to work. Her reply? "Walk." FML

Stuck

By Snowzies - 06/01/2010 13:42 - United Kingdom

Today, it was snowing really badly, so my boss said that everyone who drove to work could leave. But because I got the bus in, she said that I should stay and do a full day. By the time she eventually decided it was bad enough for me to leave, the buses were cancelled. FML

Today, I tried to get the day off because of snow and ice on the roads, which had already caused 2 accidents close to my house. My boss just called me a useless millennial, fired me, and hung up the phone. FML

Shovel to the head

By Raw - 25/01/2017 14:00

Today, I shoveled snow at work. I had to because my co-workers refused to "get sick." I told my co-workers if anyone needs me, just tell them I'm shoveling snow. Our boss asked for me and they said that I left without punching. This also happened when I went out to water the flowers in the summer. FML

Today, as I was driving to work in the aftermath of a terrible blizzard that came through my area last night, a lady slid through an intersection and hit my car, totaling it. I called my boss and told her what happened, only to have her tell me that we were closed due bad roads. No one told me. FML

Today, after getting up at 6 a.m., fighting with the dogs to wipe their paws off from the snow, and having to wait for a moving truck to move so I could get to work by 8, I got a call from my boss saying we were closed due to weather. It was 8:15. I was already there. FML

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

Idk if you are aware but if your state declares a state of emergency he/she cannot fire you for not showing up for work. Look it up to verify your state work laws during state emergencies. Good luck op.

Your boss is a moron. I bet he wants to stay home and that is why he wants you to go to work.

I'm a letter carrier in Alberta and I have to deliver mail even after getting 2 feet of snow, but we're used to it, if there is a state of emergency your boss can't do squat to you for not going in. Places that don't get that kind of weather have no reason to be prepared for it when it does happen so he needs to suck it up. (The boss, not the OP)

What a douche! Though it's not the end of the world. Where I live in most winter mornings my car is covered with snow with the temperature ranging from 0C to -30C (32F - 2F) and I still have to go to work.

if he fires you, sue him for unethical fire. you can't do anything about the snow.

Well this is mainly a concern for older folks, but shoveling snow dangerously increases your chances of getting a heart attack. Your boss should take a hike.

Did your boss seriously accuse you of faking snowfall accumulation? Really? He understands the whole region has two feet of snow, right? You're not just conjuring it up and putting it on your car. ******* asshole.
