Today, my old boss stiffed me on a large sum of money he owes me. I tried to contact him and point out that he legally owes me the money, but he won't answer his texts or his phone, and the managers say he changes the subject whenever they bring it up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a phone call from my old boss asking me why I wasn't at work, to which I responded, "Because you fired me yesterday." He didn't say anything, and hung up. FML
Today, after not receiving my paycheck for over a month, I confronted my boss about it. His response? "You still work here?" FML
Today, my old boss is such an arsehole that not only did he fire me last week, he completely forgot about firing me and when he saw me in the shop as a customer, he yelled at me for being late and out of uniform. I swear his mother didn’t birth him, she shat him out the other hole. FML
Today, my former boss called to bitch me out for some computer issue he emailed me to fix three days ago. I quit my job there 7 months ago, and I had to hand my phone to my new manager to convince my old boss I really did quit and wasn’t just avoiding fixing the computer problem. Asshole. FML
Today, my boss called me, furious about how I "never answer my phone", especially when important clients are trying to reach me, and how unprofessional I am. I make very sure to never miss any calls, my boss just keeps giving out the wrong number to people. FML
Today, my ex-boss still owes me almost 900€. I just paid another 150€ to have a lawyer tell me that, yes, the law is clearly on my side but no, I will most likely not win in court because I don't have hard proof. I just paid money to be told I won't be getting the money I'm owed. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss mistakenly drunk-texted me and was talking shit about me. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, like every day, my boss was complaining about something or other, but this time it was work that I knew he'd done himself, and he still blamed me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think you can go ahead and sue without people freaking out and saying everyone sues too much. It's justified

Never loan money you can't afford to lose. But hey, you paid handsomely to never have talk to that guy again. Enjoy it.

Chances are his boss owes him for work done, not a loan

Good point. Hadn't thought of that. One thing left to do: kidnap his mother for ransom. MWA HA HA!

I was about to up vote you #16, until you joked about the boss's mom. It people like you that will keep the world from having a slight more peace. You don't joke about stuff like that.

#36 really? Go sit in a fridge, you need to chill out.
gracehi 33
Oh no! #36 didn't up vote my comment because they disapproved of my joke! My whole life is rendered meaningless! My husband! My pets! My family! My career! My education! My hopes! My dreams! All worthless! I am the source of all the world's anguish! Famine! War! Disease! Crime! All me! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This comment thread should be called "Spot the guy with a stick up his ass."

I'm the OP, and I'm a girl, and the money I'm owed is my annual leave, which was to be paid to me when I quit. I'd never been able to take a holiday, as my boss never agreed on the times and wouldn't let me take paid leave, so yeah I'm pretty angry...

I'm on mobile and can't see where you are from, but I know in the US you have labor boards to take care of these things. even if it wasn't something the company was required by law to offer you, but it was promised as part of your wages upon separation, it needs paid. Unemployment takes these promised wages into account when making a decision on Unemployment Benefits, and this kind of situation can really mess things up.

I agree. Seems like your boss isn't going to do anything unless forced to. So force him.

Sounds like one for small claims court to me.

Well... Thanks for reminding me to never lend people money! :D

I pretty sure this is more likely money owned from time worked.

Take him to court.

I'm curious and can't find it online : what does "stiff sb" mean?
brezzyanna 17
In this context it means the boss refuses to give him the money.
Myeyesbleed 15
son of a b!ţ€# . stiff because he stiffed op.
Myeyesbleed 15
or it could stand for shitty boss. i dont know

It basically means to screw somebody over. To cheat or swindle a person. To not pay someone what is due. For example, you can "stiff somebody on the bill" and that means to not pay the bill or pay a fair share of the bill and the other person is stuck with the cost. In this case, the boss stiffs the OP by not paying him what is owed.
