Today, my boss told me he is a superhero. He has written countless comics about his crusades and adventures. I make fifty dollars an hour less than him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 was informed by my boss that he has been stealing quarters out of my change bowl to pay for his bus rides. He makes six times the amount I make. FML
Today, I realized I get paid to hear my boss complain and talk crap. 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, my boss told me that my attitude to work is awesome and that he'd follow my example of coming in half-an-hour early every day from now on. I relish those 30 minutes as the only time I can get work done without him constantly interrupting me. So much for that. FML
Today, my boss, mentor, and gaming buddy, has officially quit. Turns out even he doesn't get paid enough to deal with this bullshit. FML
Today, my boss agreed to a 20% pay rise, in exchange for adding a list of new responsibilities to my job description that will effectively double my workload, which he expects to be carried out in the same 8 hour workday, and not on overtime either. My boss is my dad and I hate him. 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, my best friend went to my boss and offered to do my job for half the pay. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, maybe one day you will be that high up that you can do something like that and still earn a good amount of money. I'd ask him if he can make me a villain in one of his comic books. But that's just me... :)

I don't get these FML's. So your boss is weird... so what? Doesn't mean you deserve to earn more money than him. He probably has a great work ethic, and works harder than you. There's NOTHING wrong with being excentric.

I agree that drawing comics doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a higher position/better salary, however, the boss doesn't always have a harder work ethic. In this case, though, I'd say OP is a jerk. So your boss draws comics, so what? It sounds to me like a side hobby he's really passionate about. As long as he does his day job during the day, it doesn't matter if he indulges himself during his free time. All you can do about it is work a little harder and hope for a promotion.

No wonder he makes $50 more! Better start making some comics. =P They're fun!

Your boss actually sounds pretty rock. I suggest you construct an evil alter-ego and start slipping mad riddles into his personal belongings.

Clearly the way to go! Yes!

If he isn't sincerely delusional, he is just a creative guy. I know 40+ year old engineers who still play D&D, and they are all making $100k+ per year. Some people have weird hobbies but, by the sound of things and the amount of money, he is probably a professional who does his job well and has a few quirks or eccentricities. I think the close minded/weird one maybe the OP.

I assume you make quite a lot of money, so YDI for being so pompous. Comics ftw

I highly approve of this.

Maybe if you were a super hero, you'd make that much too

He should make more money, you obviously have no creativity and deserve what you get...

First I chose YDI because he's a creative man. Then I chose FML by accident. So I think you should just go with it and be honored if he mentions you in there :)

well yea he can afford to do that if he has that much more money
