Today, after 3 years of hard work, very little vacation and no raises, our boss got us a crappy box of drug store cookies as an employee appreciation gift. Which he ended up eating. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, I lost it on my co-workers about how hard I've been working, picking up everyone's slack with no appreciation, and it was clear that I needed to find a job that actually rewarded hard work. As I went to grab my jacket to leave, I saw a cake and gift card for a cruise on the table, from the staff. FML
Today, after three years of working at my current occupation, they decided to give me a bonus for all of my hard work and effort. A 5$ gift card to Cold Stone. FML
Today, my boss found out that my girlfriend dumped me. He asked if that meant she would no longer bring her delicious homemade cookies to the office. When I said yes, he fired me on the spot. FML
Today, everyone at the office was finally presented with the bonuses our boss had promised to pay us by the end of last year. Turns out he was never authorized to promise any such thing, so he ended up just giving us signed "thank you" letters instead. FML
Today my boss went digging through my drawer, took a pack of gum, and told me I got him the wrong flavor. He kept it anyway. FML
Today, my boss ate a small piece of paper off her desk, thinking it was frosting. I have to work for this woman. FML
Today, after working at the company for 15 years, all I got was a pin with the number 15 on it and a little bundled package of a pencil, small notebook, keychain and a mug saying “Thank you for all you do!” I wrote an e-mail to HR as to why I deserved a raise or bonus. I got threatened with “disciplinary action.” FML
Today, I discovered that as thanks for my successful efforts to increase my company's monthly revenue, my dumbass of a boss has been awarded a pay bonus. He's wasted no time telling everyone about the sports car he's planning to buy with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks OP. Maybe time to find a new job, doesn't sound like employees are treated fairly.

Last year for my mom's Christmas bonus they gave them gold chocolate coins. She works for our middle school and that's what everyone who works in the school district received.

Quit and get a new job if it's so bad.

Good bosses are completely underrated. Bad bosses are a dime a dozen. I took about 10 interviews last year, 7 offered me jobs that pay better than I make now. I'm still at my job because my boss is pretty cool and treats people well. It doesn't hurt to look for another job, I treat it like I'm interviewing them to see if I even want to work for their company, turns out a lot of the time I don't.

I almost want to vote YDI because you're still at this job after 3 years, but I know what it is like to have horrible bosses. Most places in the US I believe at least have a 1-3 month evaluation when you first start out. If I didn't get any kind of raise at all no matter how small for that evaluation I would probably be looking for another job at that point.

some people pretty much live check to check and quitting isn't an option. also, many jobs have probationary periods lasting 3-6 months. For which you aren't receiving any job benefits. And many jobs aren't providing benefits until after you've worked a certain number of months -after- the probation. if they provide benefits at all. and this isn't to say anything of raises. i.e. I have a good job with good benefits. I'm still not going to have Healthcare covered til 2017. Because you have to work 150 days the previous year to pay for/qualify the next year's coverage. (bright side is I could work zero days in a year I qualified and still be covered)

That's unfortunate. Guys sounds like a real class act.

Yeowch. If he wanted to give you guys something, order a pizza at the very least. My old job spoiled employees for employee appreciation. We had barbecues, gift cards handed out and extended lunch break. I'm really hoping I can get my old job back because they were pretty good with their staff members.
