Today, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my soon-to-be former boss tried to NOT pay me for working on Christmas Eve, but I called her out. Now, she's blocked me out of her life, and is looking for my replacement. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Today, my boss announced that instead of holiday bonuses being on the cards, the company is going under and we'll all be out of a job next year. FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, I thought working through the holidays would mean little to do and the boss telling me stories all day. Actually, it meant having loads to do, while my boss was telling me stories regardless, effectively keeping me from doing the work he is paying me for. FML
Today, I talked to my boss about scheduling my urgently needed surgery. She asked me to wait until after Christmas, and told me that I should use vacation time instead of sick leave. She's also not going to give me the total paid time off my contract specifies, because it's "inconvenient." FML
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, after calling my bank to see where my paycheck was, and waiting on hold for my entire lunch break, my boss told me she forgot to submit my deposit. I was relying on that money to pay for lunch today as I used all I had for bills. Looks like I eat tomorrow. FML

Revenge plan: 1. Set up office secret Santa. 2. Rig it so you get your boss. 3. Shit in a box. 4. Gift wrap said box. 5. Attach note that says 'made me think of you!' 6. Enjoy!

he could be working for cash, 1099, etc. There are a lot of "under the table" businesses out there, and working for one leaves little to no recourse if boss man decides he's not paying.

How did he think that would be a great idea?

This is super illegal. They're required to pay you before in a situation like this. and I'd contact your local wage/labor office and report the situation to them. everyday a payment is late they get fined.

Soooo you didn't buy any Christmas presents or prepare for anything until right before payday?

Is that even legal?

two things: 1) Places of business do not legally have to pay you until the last weekday of the month (most places do it on the last Friday so it is guaranteed to be in your bank by the first business day of the next month), your boss is under no obligation to pay you in time for xmas, however you are correct in him being a d!ckhead for telling you so late on in the month that your pay day was changed, but 2) why on earth have you waited so late into December to buy everything? and why would you not at least save a small amount of money throughout the last few months? I save a small amount from my September/October/November wages (no I'm not on huge wages) and have pretty much everything except perishable items like vegetables etc bought and paid for by mid December

Actually in Australia where both OP and I live that would be illegal, They have to give you plenty of notice of there are to be changes to your normal pay cycle and if your pay falls on a public holiday they are 'supposed' to put your pay in early. The fact that the bosses idiocracy is now affecting OP's rent and food just makes it worse. Putting pay through after xmas has the potenial to carry through to next year before OP gets paid, that could be two weeks before OP can buy food or pay rent

Pay day loan?

That's illegal. They can pay you before the pay date but not after.
