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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

Why the hell would you spend that much money on a bag when you could spend $10 on something that serves the same purpose?

That's a lot of money for a bag.

Hey OP,you know there's actually a law where you could sue him for that money back seeing as you bought the handbag under the pretense that he would be giving you the raise. Since he told you that you were getting the raise which caused you to go and buy the bag he is liable for the 1500 dollars that were spent.

I can't believe some of you think the company should pay for it. It was a phone call she can't prove what was said. She had nothing in writing and nothing on here says what her raise was. So if your boss says your getting a raise and it's 10 cents an hour and you go and spend $1500 how is that the companies fault? She is an idiot. I would never ever pay that much for a bag. I don't need people to look at my bag and think A) I have money B) I don't spend my money wisely C) I have a sugar daddy. I buy them on sale because after a year they go in the trash. I use it until it's ratty then replace.

You deserve it. Why would you even need an expensive bag in the first place?

I would do the same thing, getting a raise is all about being good at your job and I would want to treat myself. :)
