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

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

I don't know about Australia, but isn't it a general rule that if you quit, rather than be fired, you can't apply for unemployment? If that's so, OP probably wants to spend another month with a salary+get unemployment till he/she can find a new job, which ain't the easiest thing to do these days.

This is an incredibly good point. If you quit, I think you have to wait six weeks before you can claim, but if you're fired it's immediate. Also, assuming OP ever wants to work in the same field again, the reference is going to be important.

Teach her to do everything wrong and then quit?

I'm seeing alot of comments saying don't teach her. Instead of that you should teach her the wrong things so she'll get fired.

Does she have connections with someone in the business? Either way, it sucks that you are losing your job to someone who has no experience. I doubt that you are being fired for what you have been doing because if you did a bad job, they would have hired someone who has experience and does not need a lot of training in order to understand how customer service works. I think you should teach her, but just do not do a good job at it. It is unfair on her part, but who knows how on earth she landed herself a manager position, and let the business learn their lesson. Why fire someone with experience for someone who does not even know the basics of how retail works?
