Today, my boss told me that as funny as it is, it is inappropriate to mock customers with my "fake" Scottish accent. I don't, he refuses to believe that I speak with a Scottish accent. FML
I agree, your life sucks 35 343
You deserved it 2 430

hegchog12 tells us more.

What makes this FML worse is that I still live and work in Scotland. I brought it up with my boss, turns out he thinks it's "disrespectful" to put on my "fake" accent after the referendum. I really must look for a another job. I don't want to offend anyone but Im one of the few people in the Scottish highlands that don't speak the "queens English".

Did he not hear your accent when he hired you?

Tell him that in the UK you have Scotland and Scots speak with a Scottish accent. If he can't get it.. well...He's a braindead.

You live in the UK, I don't believe it's that uncommon to see Scottish people there! I'm sorry you have an idiot boss, OP. Hope it works out for you.

Maybe try a different accent? You know, just to **** with him.

It's ok OP, they can take your job, but they will never take your freedom!

Typical... Try being from Galloway in glasgow... No "kens" allowed!

As a Scottish dude I feel for you man, and it can be a tough accent to understand!!
