Today, my boss called me in to tell me I had got a raise. I bought a $1500 Chanel bag. Two hours later he called me in to tell me he was kidding. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. He laughed at me and said, "That's hilarious because I was going to ask you if you could take a pay cut!" FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
Today, I discovered that as thanks for my successful efforts to increase my company's monthly revenue, my dumbass of a boss has been awarded a pay bonus. He's wasted no time telling everyone about the sports car he's planning to buy with it. FML
Today, for some reason, I called my boss "Mum" in a meeting. To make it worse, I panicked and followed it up with, “Can I have a raise?” Everyone laughed except my boss. FML
Today, my boss asked me to talk to the HR manager to see if I was happy about my pay, which made me think I was going to get a raise. Turns out they paid me nearly twice as much as they should have for the last 2 years and I owe them over €5000. FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. 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 met with my boss hoping to hear about a possible raise that had been promised many months ago. He then told me that the only way I would get a raise was if I found a better paying job and took it, and that the company was in no position to offer anyone a raise. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It was stupid on your bosses part, but even more stupid on your part. Here is some advice for you: don't spend money that you don't have! But, I guess anyone who spends $1500 on a handbag wouldn't be smart enough to do that. The next time you want to throw away money like that, give it to me and I'll use it to spend on my tuition.

Okay guys, she was excited, she was celebrating. You're honestly going to tell me that you've never spent money on something you didn't need? Everyone does that sometimes, especially in celebration. And her boss is a prick for doing that to her. And #8, in's DRAWER, not draw.

#8, I can honestly say that I have never payed $1500 for something when I could have spent a few bucks for something that serves the exact same purpose.

Ummmm not $1500 on a damn bag. Does it carry itself next to you while walking around? Does it hand you stuff on its own? Is it magic or something? Stupid. Excited or not, she wasn't being very intelligent.

Anytime you're offered a job or raise, GET IT IN WRITING.

Yeah, people, stop saying it was foolish to splurge on a little treat for herself when she was celebrating a raise! She had thought she had come to a pretty decent amount of money; she may have acted on impulse, she had reason to believe she had the money to back it up! It's not to say she spends that regularly. That was very rude of your boss, by the way. He could have atleast told you he was kidding BEFORE he tricked you into thinking you had reason (and extra money) to 'celebrate'. Regardless, it was cruel and unneccessary. An occasional joke is fine, but not when it's affensive and cause consequences for others. Sorry this happened to you, you DID NOT deserve that... not at all!

$1500 are NOT a little treat and therefore she DID deserve it and more.

Wow. You really think $1500 is a "little" treat? Dumbass.

Okay, so it was an asshole move on your boss's part, true. But you're still ******* stupid for going and buying a $1500 bag that probably costs less than 5 dollars to make, labor included, before you even got off work that day! I mean, really? Who the **** does that? Not to mention the fact that you weren't even intelligent enough to ask for a written and signed statement, which would've save you from your false happiness and spending $1500 you probably don't have to spend. You absolutely deserved that.
