Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. FML
Today, my best friend went to my boss and offered to do my job for half the pay. FML
Today, I found out the time I'd requested off for a trip in 2 months, that my boss said that I could go on, wasn't fully processed, just in case he decided I couldn't go. He told me the second part after I'd bought no refund tickets for shows for both me and my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was going to a big concert at my university. I paid around a hundred twenty bucks for my ticket. Outside the venue, people were handing out the tickets. For free. FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I was supposed to take a test, but the professor didn't have it ready because he went to a concert last night. I sold my own tickets to that very concert in order to study for the test. FML
Today, I found out my co-worker had made plans for a night out, just as I'd cancelled all of mine to work with him on a project for the next 4 hours. FML
Today, my boss selected me to be the company representative at an important meeting in Portland with one of our biggest clients. I was thrilled, until I realized he hadn't said anything about my plane ticket or hotel reservation. He later told me that I'll need to acquire those things myself. FML
Today, my cute coworker begged me to cover his shift tomorrow, and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner to make up for it. I was very excited because I've been crushing on him for a long time. I later overheard him tell his friend that he didn't plan on showing up for our dinner. FML
Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML

Sell him a ticket and the other to the most irritating person you know

Photocopy the tickets, sell the photocopies to him, and the real copies to someone worthy of them. Voila.

That genuinely sucks. If there's anyway you can get a new job or do without for a bit than I'd get out of there asap - you don't know what other lowlife shit he might try and pull. Or if it's a larger company, make a complaint to the higher-ups. Assuming he did do it on purpose anyways.

Seriously what a dick move. Rip the tickets up right in front of him. Or if you need the money, Craigslist them bitches.

Ya I like this idea, make photocopies and tear them in front of him, or just rash them

He's actually doing you a huge favour. Grown men like you shouldn't be going to see Lady Gaga anyway. Ah, let the thumbs down parade commence! But just remember, it's not my fault her music sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
FMLKitten 15
It's alright Doc, I don't really think she's on The Edge of Glory either.

you take that back! lady gaga is a talented, unique, musical genius and generations to come will try and draw from the vast pool of talent she left behind in her music. Great thinkers and philosophers will try and solve the question; what is a poker face? And more importantly, who the hell cares?

Lady gaga... There is nothing more annoying on this planet than that walking gimmick. Except, well, bieber.

Well first off of if it is a lady gaga concert (it didn't say who was performing at the concert) then yes I agree he's doing you a favor... Now if it's someone that's actually enjoyable, go to HR and explain your problem to them. If your boss isn't popular and if they think the performer is okay then you may be able to go to the concert

Well Mr. Bastard have to agree with on this one Lady GaGa music does suck.

It's so aggravating to know that people can sink that low. Your boss is an inconsiderate asshole. Hopefully someone can take over your shift!

Some people were bullied as kids so now they're bullies as adults. Some people just don't grow up, and abuse any power they're given.

I was bullied as a child, I didn't grow up to be a bully.

If I was you I would still go just tell your boss look sorry but I can't work as you know I already have plans so you'll have to find someone else to do it and if he threatens to fire you be like for what? because you're trying to extort my tickets from me by making me work that night even though it's my night off and you're also offering me only half of what I paid for them? I doubt your bosses boss would be happy to hear how your boss is treating employees.

Pretend you can't remember that conversation and just go to the concert. **** ur boss.

He can't make you work if it is only a few days notice and you have plans. Call his bluff and tell the union
TheDrifter 24
Yes, tell the union boss you refuse to work a scheduled shift so you can go party. The sad thing is, they'd likely sue the company out of business for "abusing" their workers.
Snoopy0718 14
If he wasn't originally scheduled to work that shift then he should tell the union
llama612 27
@64 From what I read it's quite clear that OP wasn't going to be working that night it wasn't till the boss overheard him talking bout the tickets that he was told he now has to work that night this is proven more by the fact that OPs boss offered to buy the tickets from OP at only half price. So yes the OP should go to his union boss if his boss refuses to let him have the night off. And also it is abusing workers because what the boss is doing is extortion.

Tell him **** no, and sell the tickets on EBay for more than you bought them for. You'll get paid for working, and you'll get some extra cash from the tickets. I hope my logic is correct for your situation.
