Today, my boss told me he was going to start taking money out of my pay, because his wife makes us lunch. I work for my dad, and he wants to start charging me because my mom makes me a sandwich. 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 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 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, while working at a chain restaurant, I forgot to charge someone a few dollars for extra toppings on the side. My stingy boss took the time to take that money out of my paycheck. FML
Today, I got a lot of tips at work, but little did I know our boss takes it out of our paychecks. FML
Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, my boss refused to increase my wages to the new minimum wage of £12 an hour. He says the quality of my work isn’t worth £12 and if I wanted a raise, he’d see me in employment tribunal. My boss is my dad, it’s a family business. I do 90% of the work while he sits at the bar drinking for free. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. FML
Today, I went to my boss with concerns that my manager is dumping her responsibilities on me. He agreed and told me to just do whatever she wants. She gets paid twice as much as me to talk on her cellphone all day. FML

That is a little ridiculous, but if you're old enough to have a job, then you're old enough to make your own sandwiches. That way, you'll still have your money and lunch 🤷🏽♀️

Sounds like you need to go to the grocery shop...

Or maybe OP isn’t one to turn down what was supposed to be free food.

I was assuming OP still lived with his parents, therefore making his own sandwhich with food that they bought would still constitute as "free food" and his dad wouldn't necessarily know about it.

Lol been making my own lunch since I was 7. I was helping make family dinners at 7 too. 17is a bit old to start making your own food.

you could have been making your own lunch at 2, doesn't mean you would say no to free food. this "I did it so should you mentality" is really dumb

Your "Making my own lunch at 17" comment is like saying "I learned to wipe my ass when I was 12!"

All lunches are unpaid - only breaks are paid, which means he's just taking money you're actually working for.

That depends who you work for. My lunches are paid, my breaks are paid, sick days, and vacations, too. It's a perk introduced when the owner found out none of us are smokers, and he's kept it as an incentive. And before anyone asks, no you can't have my job.
