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

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

Haha I was thinking the same thing. He might try to cancel Christmas as well. Interestingly, I wonder what that makes OP? Since OP is here on FML complaining about it I'd guess OP is tech savvy Ryan.

Haha this made me think of Christmas Vacation's "jelly of the month club" scene, but Michael Scott works just as well

Be sure to laminate it for effect.
Being on the internet, I pray I used the correct form of "Effect/Affect".

#5944284 - Wednesday 14 May 2014 4:57

You did, #14. Affect is usually the verb form of the word, which wouldn't have applied there. Effect was was right!

My entire company received thank you cards, saying they didn't have enough money to give us bonuses. This was followed by an email telling us the company made a couple billion dollars profit last year.

For my money's worth that card should be made from parchment from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Magna Carta or the American Declaration of Independence. It should be written on with pure gold ink and delivered to me by a very rare kind of owl.
