Today, my boss showed me how he wants his office redecorating. We have employees on minimum wage and yet he wants a private bathroom, large screen TV, sofa and PlayStation, and a decorative suit of armour, all in an office that’s already bigger than my one bedroom flat. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my boss if I could have a bigger cubicle. I'm now working in one that is half the size of my old one. FML
Today, my boss hired a feng shui consultant for our small office space. I am the only full-time employee besides the owners, and I work as an unpaid intern. My company would rather pay someone to rearrange my desk than pay me to work at it. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise, but he told me my position is a legal requirement that produces no profit, unlike every other employee, ergo if I’m feeling ungrateful about my generous wage, he will happily fire me and hire someone else at minimum wage, saving the company money. FML
Today, my boss is being so cheap, he'd rather type in the dark, not fix our water heater or replace our cordless phone because he will not get his bonus if he goes over the budget. FML
Today, my boss finally worked out that by not giving the lads a pay rise to £18 an hour, instead just offering them overtime when necessary, it actually cost the equivalent of raising each employees salary to £26 an hour, for a whole year. He’s is blaming me because I issue the pay checks. FML
Today, my boss, a true knobhead, bought the house next door to mine. Now not only does he ruin my life at work, I might have to see him and talk to him when I’m not at work as well. He once sent me home from work because he said my red tie clashed with my suit and made me look unprofessional. FML
Today, my boss hung a dartboard in his office. It has a printout of my employee photo taped to it. FML
Today, my boss told me he'd found my YouTube channel and was very disappointed that in my videos I’m always happy, yet when I’m at work I’m not, so he’d appreciate it if I could seem happier while at work. I work in a soulless office with grey walls, but sure, I’ll work on seeming happy. FML
Today, my boss asked for recommendations on how to improve the office. I sent her an e-mail full of my ideas. Later, my boss sent me a reply, saying, "Here's what head office thinks of your ideas." It contained a list of insults upper management made about me. FML
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

Workers aren’t making minimum wage because that’s all the company can afford. They’re making it because that’s all the company is willing to pay.

If the company can afford this Luxury garbage I can definitely afford to pay employees enough to live and not struggle

Every big company got some workers on minimum wage. That means all higher management should not enjoy their status? It's not like they are going to get a raise if he gives up his office.

Higher management should still take care of its employees before decorating their office like their personal man-cave. Or if they insist on the man-cave, they can work from home.

If you work harder, next year the boss can get a new luxury car as well.

It’s good to be the king, I guess.

I hope boss gets all that and some day his boss comes by to see where the budget went. Then I suspect the problem will be taken care of... Unless boss is the owner, everyone reports to someone - and at the very top they report to a board of directors... The most stupid and self defeating part of that list is the PlayStation as that has no business use at all. I hope boss gets that first and gets distracted until his boss comes in.
