Today, my boss came to my cubicle to give me my annual performance bonus. I was asleep at my desk. FML

I agree, your life sucks (5848) - you totally deserved it (35180)

What would suck more is if you were dreaming of getting the big bonus and woke up to a sticky-note on you forehead saying "YOU'RE FIRED!".

Wow. You´re mature.

#32 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:06pm by sithwithashotgun

Also, kudos on the incredibly accurate spelling. Your English teachers must be so proud.

#34 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:13pm by sithwithashotgun

fuggin? what a lovely manipulation of fucking, you fucking loser....

#46 - On 07/11/2009 at 8:24am by hidude12

Read the number next to your name....you were #20.....

#47 - On 07/11/2009 at 2:24pm by luxisufeili

wow. you do fail, idiot. you fail majorly at spelling and making any sense what so ever. dumbass.

#52 - On 07/28/2009 at 2:58pm by iloveconcerts

YDI, never fall asleep at the desk. Chugging coffee till your eyes pop is preferable

#2 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:30pm by cristy91

Maybe next time you won't sleep at work. :/ I used to sleep at school, but no one noticed.

#3 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:31pm by kopei

At least find somewhere more discreet to sleep....YDI

#4 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:33pm by saze

because just leaving his desk to go to the bathroom and sleep where no one would have found him or woken him up?

yeah, that makes sense. Who knows, maybe this guy stayed up all night working on a project. There are too many unknowns for this FML to really make a whole lot of sense. I mean, maybe you have an excuse, maybe not, maybe your boss would care either way, or not.

So idk if it's an FML or YDI. So i just wont' do either.

#13 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:06pm by genius_man16

You're right, OP shouldn't be judged for falling asleep. Fuck it, if u gotta sleep, u gotta sleep

#17 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:32pm by saze

thats what you get for sleeping during your job

#5 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:33pm by passion4soccer

presumably your bonus was around $5

#6 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:36pm by kdawg86

FYL. Drink more coffee

#7 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:44pm by rachiebpp

your smart to sleep, while your boss came in

#8 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:46pm by Reena03

The OP didn't know his boss was coming in, obviously. If he had, you can bet he wouldn't have been asleep.

#39 - On 07/11/2009 at 1:16am by AAAAHHHH12

9 yes. sucks . don't fall asleep

#9 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:54pm by tudezdawgzy

Well if you had a good excuse to give to your boss - he'd understand. It's not like we're robots and don't need sleep. Maybe you have a sleep condition. He doesn't know, it'd be wrong to fire first and ask later.

#10 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:54pm by coloradodude12

i bet he tea-bagged you and put one of his pubes lightly on your tongue

#11 - On 07/10/2009 at 7:57pm by shewasalmost18

i moderated this one.

#15 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:12pm by Stacia

Whoop-dee-do

#28 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:56pm by Cloudy

Well done you. Your ticker tape parade and award ceremony is tomorrow and you will be glad to know it will be broadcast worldwide for everyone to see and hold you up as their infallible idol from this day forth

#36 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:29pm by saze

at #1: haha, good one (^_^)

And people should not be sleeping when at working

#16 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:13pm by chocoLIFE

That would've been thoughtful

#19 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:50pm by Da_Gov

It would be a small pillow unless he/she gets those really big cardboard checks.

#23 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:31pm by Karpolo

I moderated this lol
but that seriously stinks !
I'm guessing you didn't get the bonus :/

#21 - On 07/10/2009 at 8:52pm by mikes_girll

so im guessing you didnt get that bonus, huh?

#22 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:10pm by darkmis1

shit, your lucky to even still have a job

#25 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:40pm by macc55

OKAY SO YOU SLEPT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IN SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND SLEEPING AT WORK IS REQUIRED. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY LITTLE SPANISH SIESTA I MEAN FULL ON SLEEP AT WORK THEY EVEN SUPPLY THOSE COOL PILLOWS THAT ARE IN THE SKY MALL MAGAZINE (THE ONES THAT YOU LEAN FORWARD ON TO THE PILLOW). I AM COMPLETELY SERIOUS. HERE IS WHAT I MEAN IF YOUR CONFUSED. http://thefulmerazzi.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/travel-pillow.jpg. AND CONGRATS ON YOUR BONUS!

#26 - On 07/10/2009 at 9:50pm by genius_girl16

no FyL for workin in a cubicle i mean i couldnt do it i guess for the first few weeks it would seem cool but after that i would be paranoid because i would feel claustrophobic like omg the world is sinkin in i cant breath shit im die... i would have to move around lol

#29 - On 07/10/2009 at 10:13pm by ithedarkknight

everyone takes breaks but sleeping on the job? YDI

#31 - On 07/10/2009 at 10:56pm by PimpDaddyT

Dude, that sucks big time. Were you at least on break? If not, your boss was probably quite pissed off.

#33 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:10pm by sithwithashotgun

YDI. Unless you had a really long night or something. But either way, YDI. So sorry for you.

#35 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:26pm by SexyBeast101

Another FML about someone slacking off on the job and getting caught by their boss...

#37 - On 07/10/2009 at 11:35pm by seb12992

Oh, the irony.

#38 - On 07/11/2009 at 12:31am by Nick402

LOL YDI. I do believe if there was scheduled nap time during the work day productivity would be much higher though...

But for now, rest up before work perhaps and don't be lazy?

#40 - On 07/11/2009 at 1:22am by U_idiot

well did you get the bonus? If you did its definitely not an FML

#41 - On 07/11/2009 at 2:11am by islaphippos

Fired.

#42 - On 07/11/2009 at 2:32am by AnaMaree

Clearly, YDI for sleeping on the job.

#43 - On 07/11/2009 at 3:31am by somaturee

this has been done several times recently. also YDI retard. your getting paid to work not to sleep. hopefully you are jobless and he hired a more compitent worker.

#44 - On 07/11/2009 at 5:37am by Nightfallz

Ahah, I love this one!

#45 - On 07/11/2009 at 7:15am by Gotmilk (FML Staff)

ALL THE MAD PEOPLE COMMENTING ARE JUST THE PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE JOBS AND ARE TOO DUMB TO BE HIRED.

#48 - On 07/11/2009 at 2:35pm by whatstheproblem

HMMMM... YDI. You get paid to work, not to sleep (in most lines of work). Sleep on your own time and that bonus check might be bigger next year, if the let you keep working for them.

#49 - On 07/12/2009 at 7:32am by scythefwd

awesome

#50 - On 07/13/2009 at 3:14am by shalvius

that sucks.

#51 - On 07/28/2009 at 2:56pm by iloveconcerts

Sinple logic:
No performance, no performance bonus.
