Today, I found out the position I thought I had earned by working hard was only to separate me from my coworkers because I "talked too much". Instead of addressing the issue like adults, I've essentially been put in time-out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML
Today, we had a meeting at work, during which I got reprimanded for "disappearing." I'm the only one who constantly stays busy, since I'm broken in a way that my self-worth directly correlates with how productive I am. FML
Today, I went into my former workplace. While there, an ex-coworker told me that after I quit, they split my position into two separate jobs. When I worked there, my boss had told me to suck it up whenever I said there was too much work for just one person. FML
Today, I was called into the office and suspended due to allegations made by a coworker of poor work performance. Yesterday, I received a certificate praising my work performance. I might be dismissed at any moment. FML
Today, I was demoted at work to a much harder and more time-consuming position because, I quote, "You have more experience." My boss is now telling the others I volunteered to be moved to the lower position. FML
Today, I got yelled at for calling out for mandated overtime at work. They told me if I don't switch to another day I will get suspended. FML
Today, I watched a manager and a co-worker sit underneath a table in our store all day as I got yelled at for not working hard enough. I was the only one actually working. FML
Today, I had a meeting with HR that resulted in me being dismissed for poor performance. I was confused because up until that point, my line manager had said my performance was exemplary. Turns out it wasn't, and he didn't tell me because he didn't want me to be stressed. FML
Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML
Today, I was terminated from my job. This comes after I sent HR an email about an inappropriate relationship between my manager and a counselor. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have a co-worker like you at my job. Our supervisor on occasion has to separate him from the rest of us on the work floor. It gets really quiet and boring then..

OP got managed up instead of managed out.

Way to go with the passive-aggressive bu!!$hit to get a promotion.

Maybe it'll be better without hanging out with the jerk co-workers. And promotion still sounds like a better job with (hopefully) better money and you say you're working hard so carry on ! (:

Sounds like a win win for everyone.... You get a job you were working hard for and desired (assuming it had other benefits, too) and your coworkers are less distracted and more productive. How is it that you see it as a time out if it's what you wanted??? You want the job on your terms and only your terms? What if someone else deserved it more? What if you'd been fired for disrupting the rest of the staff? That'd be a real time out! I don't see it as a FYL because of your lack of gratitude for having a job you want and not appreciating your gifts.

Maybe YOU should be more of an adult and not talk so much during work. You were probably disrupting your co-workers as well. There's nothing more annoying than a co-worker who won't shut up.

Throw a temper tantrum, hold your breath til you turn blue, then scream at your boss," I hate you."

YDI. They wouldn't do something like that unless they had an extremely good reason

On the bright side, you don't have to be around those jerks anymore. Now you know how they really feel about you. And if It's a better position, consider it a win-win. :3
