Today, I called in sick at work because I have the flu. This is my first sick day in the 2 years I've worked there. It's also the day the CEO made a surprise visit. My co-workers all got generous salary increases, and some of them promotions. I'm not included, simply because I wasn't there. FML

I've got the flu bad, worse day to get ill!. I'm going into work tomorrow though despite how horrible I feel so I can speak to my boss about it!. Sucks to be me right now!

I was trying to think of some witty and amusing comment to make, but I can't even bring myself to do that. I'd be so pissed if that happened to me!

Just go talk to the CEO, and if they aren't willing to do the same for you, file a complaint.

It's very unlucky that you chose that day to fake sick and go Xmas shopping. That's probably illegal for the CEO of a giant company to hand out benefits based on attendance during a rare surprise visit.

op said it was the first time she was off in 2 years. if she was faking sick to go xmas shopping she would done it last year too and the year before and who said the company was giant?

First, she could have seen others faking sick last year, but only tried it this year. Secondly, if the CEO only visits very rarely, either the company is huge or he's very lazy.

I thought you were cool, Perdix. I really hope what you said sarcastic. What part of the FML said she was going Christmas Shopping? How DOES she Deserve this, Perdix? Really? If she said, "Today, I decided to fake my illness to Christmas Shopping..." it would've been an instant YDI on her part. She was working her ass off for TWO STRAIGHT YEARS and you assume that she refused to work that day?

I thought normally you are not allowed to discuss wages with other employees? Maybe it's a collective prank?

#69 CTFD. Almost everything I say here is sarcastic, facetious or absurd. So, am I cool again?

As i hoped, #77. You were. Sorry about that.

the Flu Picked the WRONG day to take you down. :(

If it's a small company why is it the first time in 2 years the CEO surprise visited.

@72 yeah it's 5 years late but whatever. There is no law that says you can't discuss your wages with other people. You employer doesn't want you discussing it because being ignorant about what others are being paid allows them to pay you less.

Urgh. This is a true FML. Sorry OP :(

and this would happen on the one day that you're not there. oh well, better luck next time.

Just imagine yourself sick and still turning up for work, you might be in for a more generous payrise for sacrificing your health for the company workloads.

And sacrificing the health and possible attendance of every colleague you give it to.

Wow. I really wish I was your coworker. What's your company?

I am so sorry. D: This was a very unfortunate time for you to be sick (especially in this kind of economical situation...) I hope you eventually get something good next time. :)
