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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that a co-worker has been promoted to Store Manager. She has been here for less than 6 months, and I have been with the company for 10 years. Guess who has been training her for the last 6 months. FML
Today, I found out that my assistant is now my manager. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Today, I learned that although I’m apparently not qualified to be a department supervisor, I’m entirely qualified to train the person who got the promotion over me, who has never worked in my department before. Boy, do I feel appreciated. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his 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
Today, my girlfriend who trained me at the job we both work at received a promotion, which left a spot for advancement. I was chosen for the position, and now the guy she's been cheating on me with is training me. Congrats. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I discovered my former boss from the job I quit 3 months is now my boss at my new job. He was the reason I quit my old job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How is this injust? It's quite possible the intern progressed a lot faster than the mentor. I mean, think of it this way: back in kindergarten, my kindergarten teacher was far, far, far superior to me in English. However, 15 years later, I've gotten a lot more adept, and I wouldn't be surprised if my 'mastery' (I am using that term very loosely) far supercedes her skill. Why? Because I did more studying and worked on improvements than she presumably did. So would it be unfair if I got a job requiring high vocabulary and she didn't? I wouldn't quite say so. I'd thank her for training me when I was a newbie, but now that I have the better experience of us two, I'll gladly take my job, and wish her luck.

#28 - it's kinda doubtful that you're better than your kindergarten teacher... i'm sure that they can properly spell "supersede". but don't worry! you made literally the most common spelling mistake in the english language. although that's probably *not* one you want to make if you wish to boast of a large (NOT high) vocabulary. seriously? suck less tomorrow. source: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2008/08/25/Supersede-most-often-misspelled/UPI-48171219702611/

Actually according to websters dictionary "usage Supercede has occurred as a spelling variant of supersede since the 17th century, and it is common in current published writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error." So technically its not spelled wrong either way.
