Today, I worked up the nerve to ask my boss for a raise. Today is also the day I found out my boss has a shitlist of employees he wants to fire, and that I'm now on it. FML

Today, after 3 years of hard work, very little vacation and no raises, our boss got us a crappy box of drug store cookies as an employee appreciation gift. Which he ended up eating. FML

What?
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

OP, at least you asked and made your desire for a raise clear. I'd think giving you a cupcake shows some sense of humour on your boss' part and maybe that raise is coming, but give him a little time to roll it around in his head. He knows you want one, just work hard and be diligent to justify why you deserve it. Better to have asked and failed anyways, because for those who don't ask, the answer is always No. :) Good luck!
