Today, I got a new job. This would've been a good thing, but apparently, the person I'm replacing was very well-liked around my workplace. All of my co-workers hate me now for replacing someone who I don't even know. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my first day at my new job. Not only does everyone hate me for replacing a guy they all liked, I managed to clog the only functional toilet there. The glares and threatening head-shaking they keep doing probably means I'm screwed. FML
Today, I started a new job that was highly recommended by a worker there. The same coworker that is now making my life a living hell. FML
Today, I got a new job and told everyone about it. A few hours later, I got an email from the executive saying I actually don't have the job anymore. FML
Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML
Today, I had the great pleasure of meeting my replacement, who was sitting at my desk in my office. My boss must've forgotten to mention to me that I've been fired. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Today, upon applying for a new job to leave my old crappy job I was informed by my new potential employer that he was unable to hire me because he is friends with my current boss. FML
Today, the manager that hired me and worked for years to inspire and connect her staff was laid to rest. Hours before the funeral, her replacement told me he wanted my two weeks notice on his desk tonight. I've been a model employee, he just doesn't like me. FML
Today, I was supposed to start a new job. I had accepted a new position with a different company three weeks ago, and gave my notice. At the time, I even trained my replacement. Today, I found out that my new work doesn't need me anymore. So, I'm unemployed. FML
Today, at my new job, my coworkers pranked me by moving around the things on my desk. I was horribly upset by it and reported them all to HR. Now no one will talk to me and I'm the office pariah within my first week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If there are a lot of guys in the office, have one of the hottest girls you know stop by with treats. Then do the same to the ladies. Get tickets to games and movie passes. Once in awhile give them away. Saying you can't go. Some of the delivery guys at my work will wait for me to finish the pickup because I give them passes all the time. Makes my job easier.

I replaced a guy who died. He was very secretive and defensive and would shout down anyone who dared question his methods. I have mixed feelings about showing people the mistakes I have already found. People thought he was a genius, but I'm finding he was mediocre at best.

I didn't replace somebody popular, but I took a team-lead position that someone working for the company interviewed for. I came in as an outsider. I had to deal with little power plays where my team would try to go over my head about some issues. Thankfully, the manager batted them right back down to me. I did the job to the best of my abilities, and didn't take any of their slights personally. Eventually, I earned their respect.

Now I feel really sad for all the people that have replaced me at all the jobs I've had over the years

Try emulating your predecessor's example...Hopefully, he wasn't popular for being the lunch time glory hole attendant in the company restroom...

If you are replacing someone who left out of his/her own will, it is a no brainer as to why he/she decided to leave. With a bunch of judgmental co-workers around him/her, who wouldn't want to stop working in a workplace like that? FYL. If the person you are replace is not leaving out of his/her choice, it is still a FYL. The co-workers should be hating on the boss's decision to have you replace him/her. OR even if you are replacing the person because of your skills or whatever, that is still not your fault. In the end, the boss makes the call. FYL either way.
