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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Tell then to go get ****** and just do your job. If you're higher up, then you have the power. If not, just ignore them and slowly wreak havoc across the office.

show them how awesome you are, then they will start to deal with the loss of their old coworker, and begin to like you as well:]

Had this happen to me. They apparently worshiped the previous guy. Got compared to him for about a year. No matter what I did, they'd point out how he did it better. I'd handle 5-6 things at once, they'd say how he used to do twice as much. Another new guy and I started mocking them, comparing the old guy to some sort of folk legend. We'd make up tall tales about how that previous guy could do "Paul Bunyon" scale tasks like rip trees out of the ground with his bare hands, eat them whole and crap full reams of paper for the copier. Eventually our sensationalism made everyone else shut up about the previous employee.

It always sucks to be the new guy.
