Today, after not receiving my paycheck for over a month, I confronted my boss about it. His response? "You still work here?" FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss refused my resignation and acted like nothing had happened. FML
Today, I went to pick up my last paycheck, since I was fired last week. My boss said he wasn't going to give it to me. I told him it's illegal not to, and he told me with a shit-eating grin, "What are you gonna do? Arrest me?" FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, I'm working in China and I had to explain to my boss that no, it's not okay to not pay me for 3 months. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML
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, I asked my boss for a raise. He responded with, "Who the hell are you?" FML
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
Today, I talked to my boss about my pay decrease since switching job locations, and how I feel I should be getting a bit more. Her response? “Absolutely not.” FML
Today, I pointed out to my manager that I haven’t been paid for my first month's work. They told me my paperwork had been misplaced, so I hadn’t actually been hired yet. So I just worked a full month for free. Oh, and apparently they’re not legally obligated to pay me, so I’m not getting paid. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just quietly walk back to your office and start to put stuff in your car like that expensive computer or printer for your taking.

if it's company property I think that's called stealing...
ohlalala_fml 0
well the company is stealing from the OP! it seems like his boss didnt make it clear enough for the OP to know that he's fired, so the company should pay him for the days he worked, or he can simply take something from his office that has the same worth as his monthly paycheck if they refuse to pay him lol.

Whether it's stealing or not, most offices have cheap computers..

there's a cool way to fire someone. dont tell them they are fired, just let them keep working til they realize they aren't getting any money for this.

you're 15.. I'm assuming you've had the same problem with mommy's chores?

Lmao @29, so true xD
gmc_blossom 21
29- You're cool. Thinking his age matters here. I find it funny how whenever someone who is considered "young" comments on something, people judge them on their age instead of what their actual comment said. And yes, before you nicely point out, I'm 16.

29 quit beig such a loser. why don't you go eat some bacon or something knowing your canadian. and for your Information I'm 15 too and I so work for my dad and I bet I make more in a month than you did at 15. and the dude you wrote that comment to may or may not have a job he's just throwing his opinion in which he IS entitled to. you are retarded
gabe2014 0
oh and 29 if half of what you wrote in your bio is even true why arent you teaching any of that stuff instead of killing time on FML?

I'm fairly certain this is something you can settle in small claims if you have no documentation that states you were fired during the days you clocked in and worked.

Who the hell waits more than 2 days, when they don't receive their paycheck, to say something about it?
a_nutritionist 10
those who dont monitor their bank account every 2 hours. if id have missed a paycheck i wouldnt know for a few weeks because i dont take money out regularly. its not like not getting paid that one time wont show up in both their records and yours, so who cares?
joshualee 0
That's what I was thinking. You're a moron if you don't say anything for a month about not getting paid. And even worse if it takes that long for you to realize it.
cry0 1
who cares? people that have bills to pay .. maybe?
a_nutritionist 10
not everyone lives from paycheck to paycheck. some people actually have more money than just whats put in every week. hence why someone may not realise it immediately...im not saying theres no situation where it might be important to know immediately, im saying it doesnt make you stupid for not doing so when you dont have to, because there is evidence that you havent been paid. seriously, get a clue.

what if his work only pays once a month that is becoming surprisingly more common especially at places that may pay a bit extra than their competitors. They only pay once a month so they can earn interest on all the pays first
