Today, we got our Christmas bonuses. Instead of money, the company decided to give us all lunch boxes with the company name on them. I went ahead and put my lunch in mine, then put it in the break-room refrigerator. Apparently so did all the other employees. Now I can't find mine. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went and bought lunch for all the people I work with. The only meal the place forgot was mine. FML
Today, I brought my lunch to work in the only box I had lying around my apartment - a small one from FedEx. When I went to the bathroom before lunch, I returned to my desk to find that one of my coworkers had mailed my lunch back to my apartment. FML
Today, I took my lunch to work and put it in the office fridge. At noon, I opened the fridge and couldn't find it anywhere. I checked every shelf twice before realizing I'd put it in the freezer section by mistake. My sandwich was completely frozen. FML
Today, a coworker threw my lunch in the trash. They'd just got back from holidays, and I use the same containers they do. My leftovers "looked like something they'd eat", so they thought it was something they'd forgotten before going on holidays. It was leftovers that I'd been spacing out, trying to make last till payday. FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, for what has seemed to be the hundredth time, my labeled bagged lunch was stolen from the fridge at my workplace. I stormed into my boss's office ready to complain, only to find him eating it. FML
Today, after weeks of tirelessly organising a Secret Santa with work colleagues, we finally exchanged gifts. I got a stapler, which had been stolen from my desk the day before. FML
Today, I was given a $100 cookbook as a gift by a co-worker. The man who shares a desk with me didn't realise it was mine, as he was at lunch when I got it, so he decided to give it to my boss when he walked in. My boss is refusing to return it. FML
Today, we did a Secret Santa at work and instead of buying cringe romance novels and candy for this other girl, I bought her a fantasy novel and a bag of dried mangos. When I went to leave for the day, I found both of my thoughtful gifts in the trash can. FML
Today, after 3 years of hard work, very little vacation and no raises, our boss got us a crappy box of drug store cookies as an employee appreciation gift. Which he ended up eating. FML

Maybe open them and find which one has what you packed in it?

My neighbor who works a fairly high management position at walmart got a $100,000 christmas bonus. He usually gets 70-100K every christmas. I would love to have that job.

My neighbor is a high ranking manager for walmart. He is in charge of all the stores in colorado, wyoming and kansas. So yes....he does make alot of money. And the corporate managers higher up on the food chain than him get 2 million dollar bonuses.

I'd have to agree. Probably not bullshit. TBH - working at walmart would suck. But managing a chain, no matter the name, especially being in a position where your compensation is tied to your performance/how much performance you can squeeze out? Wal-mart or not, corporate management is well compensated

At least it wasn't a membership to the jelly of the month club! And like someone else suggested, open the lunch boxes until everyone finds what's theirs. Then maybe write your names on your boxes.

We must work for the same company, that's exactly what my company did this year too... Thankfully I never bring lunch to work so I can use my lame ass lunchbox as a mini cooler for a day trip to the beach or something come summertime.

That's one of the reasons I always trash everything the company gives me, unless it's money.
