Today, I was told that I don't meet the minimum requirements for a job I applied for. I currently hold the same job, at the same facility, but just wanted a day shift. Apparently I'm not qualified for the job I've had for 2 and a half years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my application for a holiday role at a department store was declined because I was "not as qualified as some other candidates." I worked this exact same job at this exact same store last year. FML
Today, I received a letter telling me I'm not qualified for a job I've been unofficially doing for the last three years. It's the fourth letter I've gotten since applying. I guess it wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have to train the new person who got the job instead of me. FML
Today, after trying so hard to get myself back on my feet, I had an amazing interview and I was hired on the spot. I was so happy, until I read the position I was given, and it turns out I didn't get full-time, I got barely enough hours to even be part-time. FML
Today, I was notified that I'm being discharged after two weeks because my employers don't have the time to train me at my first real job in six years. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML
Today, I found out that the reason I didn't get the job that I have been working my butt off for over a year for is because they can't find anybody who can do my current job as good as me. I'm too good to be promoted. FML
Today, I was told that I have to apply to keep the job that I've held for the past two years. There are so many other applicants that it's basically a free-for-all. FML
Today, I discovered that I needed to reapply for my job in order to have a chance at keeping it. The applications closed yesterday. FML
Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML
Today, I was let go from my job, because I'm "progressing too quickly and there's no promotions available" and I "can find a better place to work at." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't let your supervisors know that...

Don't feel too bad, when I was looking for a job I was told I wasn't qualified to work in a **** shop.

Shit this has happened to me too and i was the best on my shift!

That's according to you. I could be wrong, but your probably not the best on your shift.
Bcfrmkc816 17
Everyone at every job thinks they are the best and know more than anyone else and can do a better job

If this happened to you, you weren't the best on your shift.

13, Hard to believe. Plenty of slackers who I know, show up tardy, leave early, take longer breaks & only work efficiently when necessary, & they claim that they're outstanding employees & therefore should be allowed to do what they want. The best don't usually say they are, their work status & ethic usually show it.

That's really odd. Hopefully you find something better, OP.
Bcfrmkc816 17
Maybe unemployment line and let someone else have the job since you don't like it

just be because someone wants a better job doesn't mean they don't like their job

Hopefully they don't end up firing you.

Better than being overqualified like many Americans.

When you're incompetent, you usually keep quiet and accept your unearned paycheck in silent shame. Your stupidity in making yourself noticed only brought attention to your inadequacy.

all I see you post on peoples stories are retarded negative comments get a life or find a useful source for your unwanted anger before you take a gun to a movie or school ahole

#30, bullshit!! I've said "Aw, I'll be your friend" more often than I can count. But, I won't be your friend, asshole.

30, perdix is always being sarcastic/joking/funny when he makes comments like this. take it with a grain of salt. Way to act like buzz killington, douche.
AllieCat21 21
Yeah, 'cause everyone knows the next step after commenting on FML is killing others.

#30 His "anger" is incredibly popular on this site, everything he says is a joke. Unless he's defending his Prius, in which case he's very, very serious. Lighten up, weirdo. "You're slightly negative online sometimes, obviously you're going to blast a bunch of toddlers in the face with a fully automatic weapon someday."

Everyone riding 22's dick need to chill
Bcfrmkc816 17
Sounds more likely that you'll be the one that does it with all that hate and attitude
Bcfrmkc816 17
Well said and haven't seen your comments for awhile

I'd say Perdix's probably more likely to take a perfectly harmless spork, to a knife, gun AND Baseball bat fight to be able to make a *removes sunglasses* I guess I'm,.. sporked. Kind of joke, sorry if that one is too terrible, I suck at those, but the point is there, he's all about the jokes.. Even If we don't understand his humor sometimes..

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to consider vampire as the reason

It's the same for my mother, she has been replacing someone for a few years, but now that the job is available to be taken permanently, she is "underqualified"...
wjh100 13
well when a job becomes open they usually open applications for it up to the public even if a Temps been there for years. they find someone more qualified then tell you you're under qualified since its nicer than saying we found someone better. it's pretty common
pacmanman 15
I'd say tell them you already work that job but then they might fire you... FYL.

Don't feel too bad. My boss told me I wasn't good enough after I'd been there for 3 years. And I wasn't even applying for a different shift.
Kk_Waylen24 21
That's dumb haha. Unqualified for a job you already have!
