Today, my boss's incompetent, lazy son got another raise. He only started working here five months ago. Since then he's been promoted twice and given a Bentley as a company car. All this while company profits are in the shitter and the rest of us are facing a wave of layoffs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my manager denied our entire team the measly 2% raise he'd promised us months ago because it’s "not in the budget." Coincidentally, all the managers' free company cars were just upgraded from 10 year-old luxury Range Rovers to 2023 Mercedes and BMWs, due to record company profits. FML
Today, my boss brought his son in as our new manager. This kid has zero experience in our industry and yet waltzed into a £75,000 job where his sole responsibility is telling me how to do a skilled job I started before he was born. Plus half the stuff he tries to tell me is incorrect. Cretin. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I found out that one of my subordinates, who is whiny, incompetent, undermining, the definition of passive-aggressive and stupid, was given a pay raise. She now makes more than me. My boss values a complete moron over me. FML
Today, my boss complained about how his performance bonus is too small, as he expected it to be the total amount accrued rather than a percentage. He also made the decision to not give any of the employees profit sharing this year, because the company didn't beat the budgeted increase in profits. FML
Today, I finally got a promotion at work. Today I also found out that no matter how long I work, no matter how much effort and unpaid overtime I put in for 6 years, my coworkers will be convinced I only got promoted because I'm the CFO's son. FML
Today, I got a raise at work. It will bring my hourly wage to about a cent more per hour. Our CEO just reported record-breaking profits for the year. FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That really pisses me off. You spoil your kid rotten, that's your choice. But when you start calling him an "employee", that's just insulting to people who actually work for a living.

That's really ****** up. Here's hoping you find a better company when this one inevitably goes under, OP.

#42 I think it goes- "It's not what you know, it's who you know" The other goes- "It's not who know, it's who you blow" Sorry, had to reply, that mess you wrote was just confusing.

I work in an overpriced restaurant. My boss and his soon eat all day and sit on their phones, yet we are not allowed phones whatsoever in the kitchen and have to pay ridiculous prices for food

Dude just quit if you don't like it there... Simple as that...

The problem is that some people can't "just quit". If op had another job, I'm sure it wouldnt be an issue, but some people can't afford to quit their jobs.

#3, in the real world, where 98% of us live, there isn't a job waiting for you when your current one is no longer to your liking.

Yeah, I mean, you couldn't possibly need to indulge in such silliness as food or rent, right OP?

Unless you're like Red Foreman and treat your son as just another employee... and stick a boot up their ass if they **** up.

Why would a failing company buy Bentleys as company cars?
Wakachulak 22
Because they're based in Qatar.

More like Dubai.

Maybe brush up your resume. Sounds like a crap place to work. :-(

Well, this happens all the time. Family always comes first.

Tell that to the creepy uncle in the more recent FML.
