Today, my boss came back from a two week vacation. I was the only one covering for him, and I did an excellent job. It was my chance to get a promotion. I actually improved his sales while he was gone, but the only thing he noticed was that I killed his plant. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss called me into his office. I've been working hard doing extra work so I can get promoted. He called me in to tell me I'm to reliable in my current position, so I won't be moving up. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, I was happy because my co-worker was almost about to get fired due to his lazy habits. It was all going so well. Then I accidentally put my biggest sale yet under his name. FML
Today, as I was leaving for a 2-week vacation after working my ass off for 2 years, my area manager handed me a project. It's a 3-week job, and he told me he needs it when I get back. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, at my job of two months, I'd taken it upon myself to water the plants around the office every day since they all looked a little sad. My boss then asked why so many of the fake plants were getting mouldy. My co-workers had watched me water plastic plants for two months and nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Today, I was talking to my boss and he said I was awesome. He went to fist bump me and I missed. FML
Today, I worked a long shift at my job while feeling like crap, anticipating getting a promotion. As my boss was leaving work, he informed me that because I also go to college, the promotion was being given to another employee that I trained a month ago. This is the second time this has happened. FML

Wow. What a douche. I would've thrown the damn thing at him.

You should just put a sign on the plant that says "I deserve a raise" and throw it into his house or something.

why did you kill his plant?

I agree with #10. Don't 1up your boss unless you have the eyes of his boss on you. Then you can be moved up to a better position. And you shouldn't have killed his plant. It was probably like a child to him.

You should offer to buy him a new one :P Your boss is an interesting character

stuff like this happens a lot. you do so much for a person, and then they only notice the one thing that went slightly wrong. don't worry, karma will eventually give you the job that you deserve.

hahaha oh man, i'm sure he DID notice the spike in sales... but tried to ignore it to avoid public emasculation.

What else did u expect? U can fill in 4 him. U can replace him doing even a better job and u are cheaper. Thank him that u r not fired, but the only way to get a raise now is to go and work for another company :D

Thats quite unfortunate =(. Keep at it, hopefully he'll notice eventually. If not.... quit! And throw a plant at him for good measure. ^^
