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

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.

For all the people saying to file a sexual harassment lawsuit, that's useless unless there's some documentation.

That's hostile work environment. If that's what you get as regular treatment, start writing any dates, times, & any witnesses. Then file complaints with the EEOC & ACLU. If that doesn't fix it, you can always quit & file for unemployment. They would most likely approve you if you cite hostile work environment.. Good Luck.

Pretty sure your boss isn't allowed to say that sort of shit. Report to HIS boss, bro. Otherwise you might be able to file a complaint to an EEO associate.
