Today, I got my third promotion at work in as many years. My husband congratulated me very briefly, before asking if this meant he no longer had to look for a job. FML

Today, I got a promotion to management at work. My employer decided to give the 'non-management' employees a really nice raise. Which means the job I had before my promotion is now paying more than the job I have now. Did I just get demoted? FML
Today, I finally quit the job that I've been complaining about. Before I could tell my husband, he informed me that he had been laid off, and was thankful we still had my income. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, I got married and I'd invited everyone from work including my boss. His way of congratulating me was to mention that I'm out of a job. He said it was a good time to do it because he thought I would be too happy or too drunk to care. FML
Today, I got fired. Yesterday was my birthday and I was told I was getting a promotion. FML
Today, I got promoted. By promoted, I mean, given a much harder job with no training and no extra pay because someone went on maternity leave. They've already hired someone for my old position. FML
Today, I got promoted at work and was excited to tell my mom. When I called her, she immediately asked, “What does this mean for my retirement fund?” and then asked how much I was going to be making. I told her, and she responded, “Oh. That’s nice, but when are you getting a real job?” FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Say yes, but that means he's gonna have to do the dishes, make the food, and do all the other household chores. That should set him right.

Well someone needs a change in mentality.

Same idea ;)

#4: That's not a change in mentality.

#13: It's sexism both ways, and there is no need to be bitter. I'd like to think we've grown out of such traditional ideals, but you managed to bring it up anyway.

Reply by asking if that means you can not give him any of the extra money you got from the promotion.

although this situation is different and he was most likely making a statement like that out of laziness, my fiance and I share whatever money we get because couple's who are commited like that should look at it as"their" money not individually.

23, That depends on the couple. If, say, one of them can't control how much he/she spends, it'll be better if other person controls finances and hands out the allowance.
mmizbbz210 13
yes. i would absolutely agree with that.

Add to that foot rubs with a daily pampering session and he'll be off to find a job of his own in no time.

And he should ask before spending money because she'd be making all of it.

How evil...I love it.

Oh my, these double standards.

If a working husband said that to a stay at home Mom or Wife he would get villafied (spl?) here.

Like it would be sexist if that father was working and the mother wasn't, and you'd tell the mother that she'd better be working in the kitchen and doing the laundry.
yahoowizard 16
Plus there are those families where the father might not be making enough or may have lost his job so the mother gets a job as well to support the family. However if the father gets the necessary raise or his job back it would be okay for the mother to quit hers.

I personally would rather just do the household chores than work 8+ hours a day

Maybe he's mad bc you're getting promotions and he doesn't have a job. His pride is probably hurt. He's still being a baby though.
KLeePrice 11
Not mad, just lazy.
amDes 11
Almost as lazy as #5 when it comes to spelling the word because.
mickaela_ 12
I guess he's not too enthusiastic about finding a job, but hey, congratulations on your promotion. :)

Surely with such a distinguished position in the company you can put in a good reference for him!

I wouldn't really want to work with my significant other. Certain places you want it to just remain yours.

Tell him that he has to stop looking, and actually FIND one.
False_Stupidity 41
To find, one must first look... If he stops looking then he will never find.

Cut him off from your money for a little while, and show him how much he depends on you.
Hobbit79 10
That wouldn't end well...
loveingit 7
Post said husband the money would be joint not the owner of who "worked" for it. But if that was not the law how would it work? You eat dinner but hubby gets no food as you cut him off?
michaelm1290 23
Logical question... otherwise the PS3 will get dusty.

Sorry to stereotype but I didn't know there was such a thing as a lazy Mexican.
