Today, I confronted my boss to find out why I was denied a promotion that she promised to me. Her response? "You should know by now I'm a liar. Not my fault if you believe the things I say." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML
Today, my boss expected me to corroborate her lie to a customer. She changed her story suddenly and I got caught up in the crosshairs. Then she got mad at me for not understanding what just happened. FML
Today, after declining an amazing job offer that pays more than double what I make now in order to accept a promotion my boss offered me if I stayed, I asked when I would receive the promotion and pay raise. She snorted and said, "You thought I was serious about that?" FML
Today, my boss wanted to promote me to a managerial position. I declined the position, saying that I don't think I'm ready and experienced enough for that role. I was then fired instead for not accepting the promotion. I was fired for being honest. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML
Today, my boss made up a rumor that I was quitting my job so I wouldn't get the promotion that was coming up. There goes that raise I've been wanting for six months. FML
Today, my coworker threw a bitch fit about not getting a promotion she'd applied for. My other coworker had got it, so after her fit, management worked something out: they gave the promotion to her, and the coworker that originally had it was given a promotion that I'd been promised for months. Now I have none. FML
Today, the CEO of my company wanted to meet with me. I was excited until I found out she just wanted to bitch me out and personally fire me. Later on, I found out my boss had totally shafted me and blamed the failure of a big project on me instead of admitting it was all his fault. FML
Today, I found out that my boss, who had promised me a raise, is not promoting me. He says I don't have the right 'vibe' and I'm not 'relaxed' enough for the job. FML
Today, I met with my boss hoping to hear about a possible raise that had been promised many months ago. He then told me that the only way I would get a raise was if I found a better paying job and took it, and that the company was in no position to offer anyone a raise. FML

With a name like Snurkles, she shouldn't expect a promotion...

2 - It makes sense when you combine both together: shit is down the tree because assholes are further up it. Simple physics!

She just admitted she was a liar...so she is a truth teller?

I was just about to head off to bed...and then I read your comment. Thank you, #7, for the paradox that is going to mess with my head for the rest of the night.

15 - I think 9 was referring to a movie called "Liar Liar". Here's the IMDb summary: "A fast track lawyer can't lie for 24 hours due to his son's birthday wish after the lawyer turns his son down for the last time."

That movie is funny as hell! And that's no lie!!

It sounds like you need a job where your supervisors have something called integrity.

Next time she verbally gives you a big or important task just ignore it and don't do it. When she confronts you about it just say "oh, I thought you were lying about that too".

Then when she fires you just show up again the next day and say "oh I thought you were lying about that as well." Then get escorted out, go home and cry...as your life goes down into a spiral of self loathing and dread.

23, Everybody changes/loses job once in a while, don't be dramatic about it.

It's called a dry sense of humor.

Just in case you decide to take the advice would be a good idea to have a backup job before you pull something like that off with your @$$hole of a boss... :)

I also thought the next time the boss calls OP into work on an offday, he should agree and not show up. Then tell her upon his next day, "Oh you should know by now that I'm a liar. It's not my fault you believe everything I say."
