Today, after 3 years at my job I received a 14% raise. I was informed I will be transitioned from hourly to salary. I will now be making $1500 LESS than I made last year. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a 25-cent raise at work. That would be wonderful, had they not cut 6 hours off my schedule as well. I'm now making $200 less a month than I was pre-raise. FML
Today, after I got a great job at my asking salary, my boss then quit without telling me my salary was maxed out. I learned this when, two years in a row, I got a 1% raise because I'm redlined. With inflation, my take-home pay has dropped by 15% in two years. FML
Today, I got a raise. A 10 cent raise. I have worked at my job for over 3 years. I now make 20 cents more an hour than people that have only worked there 3 minutes. FML
Today, the person recently hired to work in my spot during my days off started at a higher hourly rate than me, after I have been here for nearly three years. I asked for a raise and got a dollar more; meanwhile, my regional counterparts make 4 dollars more per hour. FML
Today, my boss offered me a 3% "raise" with new commission targets. Consequently this "raise" would result in my income being reduced by a third. Apparently, if I can reach my current targets, they're too easy. So, as a reward for being great at my job, I get a reduced salary. FML
Today, I got raise at work. It's $3 per month. FML
Today, after years of being underpaid, I received my first paycheck at my new job. My new employer offers excellent benefits and a 401k. But after I invest in all these wonderful things, and after a $4 an hour pay increase, my net income is less than before. FML
Today, I got a raise at work. It will bring my hourly wage to about a cent more per hour. Our CEO just reported record-breaking profits for the year. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I was promoted. After going to school for 10 months to get certified for the new position, training extensively, and taking on a ton more responsibility, I was hoping for a decent raise. How much do my bosses think all of that time and effort is worth? One dollar more per hour than I made before. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Start stealing office supplies and sell them on the black market to regain the money you lost. It's the only way, I'll pray for you.

You just answered your own question. It's USA, they do whatever the **** they want. They take hard earned money and give it to lazy people. Sorry that was irrelevant. 'EMERICA!!!

28 hella OWNED you 25!
jess6blondie9 3
25 - I don't see in any way how my comment makes me "fugly," "a biaaaach" or a "****." You're like 12 years old. Shut the hell up, you're just making yourself look stupid.

what did 25 say? It won't show on my iPod.
justalilrandom2 4
Basically called Jess a fugly **** and the like, despite being a 13 year old who looks like he was missing a chromosome or two. He also had a picture of him with his shirt up to show his "six pack"... Which frankly didn't exist...
jess6blondie9 3
Something about how I'm a fugly biaccch ****. It doesn't show it on your iPod because it got moderated.

Its not a raise if u make less dumbass....
klonopin_ftw 0
if you paid any attention, OP got a raise, then switched to salary from hourly. so technically, OP did get a raise. then pretty much demoted. so, dumbass, read in chronological order.

xlil_miss_emo_x 6
well hopefully you get paid well at your job and the 1,500 you can "spare" to give up... Other wise just ask your boss to keep you on your regular payment.

Was there supposed to be a joke in there?
bete_noire_fml 7
hey who cares if you make less, you got a raise.
karmynashley 7
if OP makes less then the fact that she got a raise is irrelevant. OP made more money without the raise than with it since they changed her pay.
bete_noire_fml 7
I was trying to help OP look on the bright side, by stating that atleast the company thought they could pay the OP more money than they currently are even though it is less...which still confuses the heck out of me right now -_-
Suchagoonnn 4
so whats the difference between salary and an hourly wage?
bete_noire_fml 7
one you get paid a certain amount no matter how many hours you work which is salary and the other you get paid depending on how many hours you work which is hourly
Suchagoonnn 4
ohhh. like an engineer vs an electrician
justalilrandom2 4
Or a teacher over a fast food worker... Some electricians might get a salary so...
