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.

Material things can only make someone happy for so long, and then eventually it will disintegrate in the bottom of their closet.

Firstly, #1, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking....with Kelly and the swimsuit....hahahaha. Secondly, there isn't one of you out there who didn't waste money on something they didn't need. You all have your personal weaknesses, so stop being self-righteous. I'm looking at you, #22. And thirdly, return it, and if it doesn't work, you could probably get your boss to pay for it (or at least the company). That was a ridiculous thing to do on his part, and quite nasty as well. FYL

I agree with #2... what little bit of intelligence left in the world is being deminished generation by generation by people like you... have fun in the 4th ring of hell...

Diminished. You can't insult peoples intelligence if your own is questionable.

YDI for blowing your money. How ******* old are you? Also, your boss is a champ. I would love to be him so I could see the look on your face.

FYL because your boss obviously watches The Office too much, but YDI for blowing money you don't even have

It's as simple as: RRDT or CYF R-eport him, R-eturn the bag, D-on't T-rust someone when it comes to something like that until you know for sure it's not a trick. C-an't return the bag, Y-ou're F-*cked, haha for splurging, be suspicious of EVERYONE.

Your boss is a jerk, report him. Return the bag or have the company pay for it. And while I don't really care about expensive bags and designer labels it's stupid for all of you to say she shouldn't have done this. Some examples... video games waste time and cost a lot (this is something she will USE) And cars use gas and the expensive ones don't do any more than the cheap ones.

Video games provide entertainment. And besides, you can download them for free. Cars GET YOU PLACES. You know, cars move. You sit in it and you get somewhere where you would normally have to walk. I do agree about the expensive cars (although the newer ones are a lot safer, but I digress) A bag is just for carrying stuff. Ffs, buy pants with pockets - problem solved.

A $1500 Chanel bag doesn't do anymore than a plastic bag from the grocery store.

Why the hell would the company pay for it? She didn't buy the bag out of necessity. Also, video games do not cost $1500, so don't even try comparing them.
