Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML

Your boss must of put so much effort in to making the cupcake, so he decided that he would give you a token of his gratitude for working for him :) Next time you might get a cake ;)
