Today, I wanted to send a birthday card. I kindly asked my boss for an envelope, and she asked me to pay for it. I've been working for her as an intern for over a year now, without receiving any money for it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML
Today, my co-worker received a $1,000 bonus for a project that I do all the work on. My direct supervisor thought that I was an assistant. I send him an e-mail copy of the project every week, and have done so for the past six months. I was later reprimanded for not congratulating my co-worker. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Normally, the little office I work in throws a big party for every employee on their special day, but nothing was done for me, not even a "Happy Birthday" came my way. I didn't want to be rude, so I stayed silent. They didn't do anything because I was getting laid off. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
Today, I gave my boss a gift card as a late birthday present, since I wasn't in the office on his actual birthday. He accused me of trying to bribe my way to a promotion, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Today, I'm a graduate but still an unpaid intern. My daily work is folding letters and putting them into envelopes. The sad thing is, I actually enjoy doing it. FML
Today, I found out that my company is paying more for hors d'oeuvres at one party than I will receive for my entire year long internship. 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?

Since you've been her intern for over a year now, I'm sure you know where the envelopes are. Live on the wild side... steal one.

Your boss isn't responsible for your envelopes. You are. Next, you'll be saying that your boss wouldn't buy your groceries or pay your light bill. Get over yourself. You chose, and continue to choose, to have a no-pay internship.

Agreed. Why would you expect her to give you an envelope for something not work related?? lucky you didn't get yelled at for doing personal stuff at work, too

He probably knew his boss had envelopes and asked for one thinking she wouldn't be a bitch about it. You're an asshole.

Tell that bitch of a boss you'll pay her later. When she asks for the money, shove it up her ass.

OP: Boss, can I have an envelope? Boss: You need to pay for it! OP: But...you don't pay me! I don't have any money. Boss: There are...other ways you could pay me... OP: Oh, boss! Boss: **** ME LIKE THE PEON YOU ARE!

Trying to use company time and materials for personal business? Now we know why they haven't given you a real job, you are a horrible employee! I know you have the twenty seconds of free time to mail a card outside of work, so use it! I bet you used the company internet to post this, you mooch! YDI

Why did this magically turn into a reply? It was supposed to be just a stand alone comment... I'm confused by this!

Tell that wench you'll pay her with a kick to her gall bladder. If she got it removed, eat laxatives, throw a tantrum and defecate in various locations around the office. If you don't have an anus, move to Candy Land and start having an affair with Lord Licorice.

You have the imagination of a truly disturbed three year old, my little love muffin.

What're you complaining about? You chose to work as an unpaid intern, no? I wouldn't bitch if I were you. Especially since you're getting some sort of job training out of it. By the way, your boss is not responsible for providing you envelopes. QUITCHERBITCHIN.
