Today, everyone in my department got a raise except for me. Last week, I had been the one who asked for a raise for me and my fellow department members. FML
I agree, your life sucks (24286) - you totally deserved it (1649)

(0)You should have added more foreplay into your asking for a raise. Maybe a "Nice looking suit" or "Mighty big cock you got there" will sufficiantly do.

(0)for real, if you beg for a raise, bad things are bound to happen.

(0)$50 an hour is a high first assumption. and after you get so much per hour it goes to weekly / 2 weeks etc. ppl don't get paid like $500 an hours

(0)#3 Totally agree. Nothing good ever happens when you make other people's problems your own. How many of them would have asked for you?
(+1)I hate how people keep saying that. I mean yes, people are getting laid off, but most people still have jobs. It's not like everyone and their 3rd cousin doesn't have a job and it's some magical thing to learn you have one. Jebus.

(0)Actually, in many areas of the U.S. the unemployment rate is 9-13%. That means 1 in 10 people who want a job don't have one. So yes, it is kind of like everyone and their 3rd cousin is out of work. But the 1st and 2nd cousin, along with the brother, the uncle, the step-sister, the father and the grandma - they still have jobs!

(0)The unemployment rate doesn't only include people who want a job and don't have one. Retired people are included in that statistic as well.
(+1)get evidence of your boss bangin hookers, then you got him by the balls.

(0)Thats because your special XD lol..stop complaning though..some ppl wish they had a job *hint hint* me.
(0)that's pretty shit, especially as you were thinking of other people when asking for a raise.
But still, at least you do have a job; just show your boss you deserve a raise.
(+1)I know the feeling. I once complained to my boss about how unfair the promotions were being dished out (only 1 per team), when in fact the guy getting the promotion was one of the newest team members and was only getting the job because he was the team leaders bitch.
And if he was going to promote anyone he should look at some of the people that had been with the company longer and been more consistent (meaning myself obviously). So 2 people who had been there longer than me got promoted. When I questioned the boss about this he thought that's who I was talking about.
(+2)ohhh the old catch 22, if you want it you have to ask for it, but if you ask for it you can't have it.

(0)"Last week, I had been the one who asked"
In proper English it would have been "I was the one"...
Lol 12, maybe they deserved it more than you did (they were longer...).
But yes, "i have a job, fml".. I'm still looking for one myself..

(0)me and my fellow department members...
no wonder you didnt get the raise, you selfish bastard always put others infront of yourself when listing people

(0)Yes, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "my fellow department members and myself"
But perhaps OP is from southern Illinois and thinks "me and [x]" is acceptable 100% of the time.

(0)Nobody likes a complainer. Given that simple truth, why the hell would anyone give you a reward for being one? As our friends on the grammar police have kindly pointed out, your writing skills blow - if that's the type of shit you are churning out at work, be grateful for the job.

(0)That sucks, but be glad you even have a job. I've been looking for work since last November! People prefer to be hiring dumbass teens that text every chance they get and can't even type on the computer without looking all over five times for the 1-key, for some strange reason.
(0)just because you asked, doesn't mean you deserved it.
