Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after having spent days working on it, I finished off a really elaborate seasonal greetings card for my boss. When I gave it to him, he took one look at it, flicked it in his trash can and said, "Fuck off, Steve." So much for a Christmas bonus. 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 sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, my boss sent a Christmas present… to my dog. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
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
Today, my boss announced that instead of holiday bonuses being on the cards, the company is going under and we'll all be out of a job next year. 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
Today, during our office Secret Santa gift exchange, I unwrapped my gift to find a mug that says, "World’s Okayest Employee." Everyone laughed. My boss added, "Well, it’s accurate." FML
Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least you got that. Bonuses aren't guaranteed, and some bosses don't recognize their employees' hard work.

Talk about a Merry Rip-Mas... Hopefully your holiday turned out better than the crappy "bonus". Could be worse though, you could have gotten a lunchbox with the company logo and lost it in the sea of others the next day.

better then being fired? be thankful for what you have. there's people out there who can't get work or supply a real Christmas dinner for their kids.
