Today, my boss called me in to tell me I had got a raise. I bought a $1500 Chanel bag. Two hours later he called me in to tell me he was kidding. FML

It was stupid on your bosses part, but even more stupid on your part. Here is some advice for you: don't spend money that you don't have! But, I guess anyone who spends $1500 on a handbag wouldn't be smart enough to do that. The next time you want to throw away money like that, give it to me and I'll use it to spend on my tuition.

Dont spend ur money when u dont even have it dumbass

A FREAKING BAG FOR $1,500?! I HAVE BARELY EARNED THAT OVER MY WHOLE LIFETIME!!! AND WASTED ON A F*CKING BAG?!

You should start looking for a new job.

Why the hell would you spend that much money on a bag when you could spend $10 on something that serves the same purpose?

People are being Jerks. It was bad for you to spend 1500$ but it was on impules

Hey OP,you know there's actually a law where you could sue him for that money back seeing as you bought the handbag under the pretense that he would be giving you the raise. Since he told you that you were getting the raise which caused you to go and buy the bag he is liable for the 1500 dollars that were spent.

I can't believe some of you think the company should pay for it. It was a phone call she can't prove what was said. She had nothing in writing and nothing on here says what her raise was. So if your boss says your getting a raise and it's 10 cents an hour and you go and spend $1500 how is that the companies fault? She is an idiot. I would never ever pay that much for a bag. I don't need people to look at my bag and think A) I have money B) I don't spend my money wisely C) I have a sugar daddy. I buy them on sale because after a year they go in the trash. I use it until it's ratty then replace.

You deserve it. Why would you even need an expensive bag in the first place?

I would do the same thing, getting a raise is all about being good at your job and I would want to treat myself. :)
