Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML

Today, I worked a long shift at my job while feeling like crap, anticipating getting a promotion. As my boss was leaving work, he informed me that because I also go to college, the promotion was being given to another employee that I trained a month ago. This is the second time this has happened. FML

Ya, I agree with #2. At least you didn't get fired. But that does suck, I mean you trained him/her. But hey, s/he might be a great boss for you considering that you basically made him/her. LOL #12! Good luck with the new boss! TEEHEE

He's probably smarter than you. Not all jobs are doled out via seniority. Talent sometimes rules and maybe your boss is just better than you.

Imagine that, promotions aren't given out for seniority, they are given out for performance!
