Today, I got demoted from my manager's position, only to be replaced by a 21 year-old who has never worked in retail in her life. I now have to spend the next month teaching her my job so they can fire me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after working at the same place for 3 years, I found out that they are not only cutting my hours but now I have to take orders from some girl I trained because she was promoted over me. 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, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Today, I was fired from the job I've had for 15 years. My boss recently hired his daughter as a senior manager and she made several cuts because, as she put it, the sales team was "too old and lame". I didn't know being a young bitch was a requirement to work at a furniture warehouse. FML
Today, a month after getting a big promotion, I found out that I'm stuck with my old job. No one wants to take my old position, so they are vacating my new one and will post it, because, "This one is more desirable, and your's is shit." FML
Today, it was my first day as a promoted manager. I got fired for being late. FML
Today, after a month at my new job, my boss fired me because I didn't have enough experience. She hired me with full knowledge of this fact. FML
Today, thanks to downsizing and corporate restructuring, I was "promoted" to the entry level position I had 10 years ago. FML
Today, I got fired from my dream job. I found out today that the girl who trained me lied and taught me how to do things wrong, so that when she got back from maternity leave, she could get me fired and take her job back. My new coworkers were in on her plan from the beginning. FML
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well it's a retail business. Of course they'd want young people working there.

put drugs in your replacement's locker and get her busted.

I like that one better than mine. putting stores product in her purse so when she leaves she gets busted for stealing.

On the bright side … If you have to show her the ropes you can make a mess of her training and then she’ll get fired! Guess who they’ll come back to!!!!

Well that's just stupid. Why would they ask someone to come back who is obviously inept at training new employees. That just makes them both look useless.

They wear out every year or so, and since she did not renew their lease, she has to go

1. Like other posters i'm wondering exactly what the FML poster may have done to deserve this, and thinking that if the FML poster is good enough to be training the replacement if it is in fact their fault. 2. Once again, like other posters I'm wondering why these people get the courtesy of wasting valuable job hunting time by even showing up for work if it's 100% for sure that after training comes the pink slip. I also don't see how being demoted equals being fired...
