Today, my boss told me that he didn’t want to promote me because my, “scores were too good.” He then told me that I would be getting twice as much work to do than my coworkers, without a raise. I work minimum wage. FML

Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML

Get a new job. It’s minimum wage, hopefully shouldn’t be too hard to find a replacement.

Yeah sounds like he’s worried that if he promotes you then he’ll be concerned you’ll be at his level or something. You got a few options. Talk to your boss, quit and find better, or take it up with HR.

Look for another job. Then when offered a position use that to negotiate with your boss for a raise. If he says no, then take the other job. problem solved.
