Today, my boss is being so cheap, he'd rather type in the dark, not fix our water heater or replace our cordless phone because he will not get his bonus if he goes over the budget. FML

Take your revenge by throwing some of that freezing cold water in his face. He won't be able to see who threw it in the dark, and he can't call for help. :)

haha, thats pathetic....tell him you want some of his bonus money!!

That is why you contact HR and make a formal complaint.

Cordless phones dont cost much. Although its not your responsibility to get one, if youre that set one "needing one" then buy one yourself...

Send an anonymous e-mail, from outside of the company, using a new e-mail account (that you will never use again) listing all of the issues, to as many of his bosses as you can. Never tell anyone.

There are illegal working conditions, not sure if your's are bad enough to have got there yet, I don't know a lot about it. Guess it depends if by 'water heater' you mean heating system or kettle. However, you might have a chance of getting things fixed if you bypass your boss and complain to people higher up, maybe showing them proof that you've complained and he's specifically said no. Especially seeing as these are things that have broken and therefore there should be a separate budget or whatever for things requiring repair.

Your boss is terrible at his job if he can't manage the business' money better than this. not even enough money to pay for electricity..something isn't rihjt

Technically, OSHA isn't a word, it's an acronym. So it would be more correct to say "Five words: OSHA." Yes, FIVE.

From Merriam-Webster: "word : something that is said". That's the very first definition. All acronyms are words; not all words are acronyms.

And this is why bonuses are such a bad idea.

I dont blame him. Money is tight.

Report him? Refuse to work? Sue? Perhaps learn your rights while you're at it?

Wow, what a cheap ass. FYL and hope he gets in (legal) trouble.
