Today, after more than six years of working my ass off, I finally summoned the courage to ask my boss for a raise. She just chuckled, "I'm gonna need you to eat a dick, John." and stared at me unblinking until I awkwardly left. FML

Today, I summoned the courage to go into my boss’s office and ask for a raise. He yelled at me, called me “ungrateful”, asked how dare I ask him such a question, and that I’m lucky to even have a job in the first place. I ended up reduced to tears. FML

Today, I worked up the nerve to ask my boss for a raise. Today is also the day I found out my boss has a shitlist of employees he wants to fire, and that I'm now on it. FML

Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML

I deserve a raise and fall

Today, I finally mustered the courage to ask my boss for a raise. I confidently walked into his office, ready to present my case, only to trip over the edge of a rug and fall onto his desk, scattering papers and stuff everywhere. FML

Today, after eight months of unemployment, I finally started at my new night job. Shortly after walking in, my boss came up behind me, whispered "hooorse dicksss" in my ear, and walked off without another word. I am terrified. 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

Welp, it sounds like your boss is an asshole.

She didn't have to be rude about it. A "no" would've been enough. Some bosses are assholes just because they know they can be one.

im trying to understand what she meant by that.

She must not like giving her husband fellatio. So instead, she was politely asking OP to do it for her and in return, he would get his raise. That's what I assumed she meant.

Damn! I think I'd be in the HR office filing a complaint. A simple "no" was all she needed to say. Sorry OP.

I agree with staroftexas9... that was a VERY inappropriate response to your request.

Well unfortunately some work places are small enough not to have an HR dept or a union. In those situations, you have to accept it with a realistic expectation of your chances of advancement or leave. After six years, OP kind of deserves it but on the other hand, jobs aren't easy to find these days. If one things for sure you better have some good reasons thought out before going o the boss for a raise. Good luck OP

OP was lucky... I've been told to "eat a bag of dicks" :/

Either way it is completely inappropriate. And it wasn't worded like "**** off"... It explicitly said, "I'm gonna need you to eat a dick". I agree with a comment about finding a job with a competitor...
