Today, I realized that my only chance of being promoted was if I moved to a bigger city… twenty years ago. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, thanks to downsizing and corporate restructuring, I was "promoted" to the entry level position I had 10 years ago. FML
Today, as I've always done, I worked extra hard to move up but was never able to in this podunk town, because you have to be related to get anywhere. My wife loves this town and didn't believe me until she got promoted at her work and her "friends" started treating her differently. Welcome to reality. FML
Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML
Today, I interviewed potential employees for a job position that I was supposed to get promoted to. FML
Today, I found out that the reason I didn't get the job that I have been working my butt off for over a year for is because they can't find anybody who can do my current job as good as me. I'm too good to be promoted. FML
Today, I was let go from my job, because I'm "progressing too quickly and there's no promotions available" and I "can find a better place to work at." FML
Today, I was offered a promotion but for the same pay. Promotion... WTF? FML
Today, I was promoted. After going to school for 10 months to get certified for the new position, training extensively, and taking on a ton more responsibility, I was hoping for a decent raise. How much do my bosses think all of that time and effort is worth? One dollar more per hour than I made before. FML
Today, I realized timing really is everything. I met the man of my dreams less than a month before I’m relocating for work. FML
Today, I finished moving to my new apartment, which is 45 minutes away from my old one, because my workplace would be closer. I then got a phone call from my boss, telling me that he's transferring me to another location, which is closer to my old apartment. FML

Promotions seem rare, easier to just get a hiring paying job with a different company.
