Today, after more than six years of working my ass off, I finally summoned the courage to ask my boss for a raise. She just chuckled, "I'm gonna need you to eat a dick, John." and stared at me unblinking until I awkwardly left. FML

Today, I summoned the courage to go into my boss’s office and ask for a raise. He yelled at me, called me “ungrateful”, asked how dare I ask him such a question, and that I’m lucky to even have a job in the first place. I ended up reduced to tears. FML

Welp, it sounds like your boss is an asshole.

She didn't have to be rude about it. A "no" would've been enough. Some bosses are assholes just because they know they can be one.

FYL, nobody deserves to be treated like shit. But still, you could've been more assertive. Explain to her that you are working hard and still not making a living wage, and that you deserve a raise because you've been a loyal employee for over six years.
