Today, nearly six months later, my incompetent, lazy coworker still refuses to believe I didn't screw my way to the promotion both of us were competing for. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my coworker threw a bitch fit about not getting a promotion she'd applied for. My other coworker had got it, so after her fit, management worked something out: they gave the promotion to her, and the coworker that originally had it was given a promotion that I'd been promised for months. Now I have none. FML
Today, I confronted my boss to find out why I was denied a promotion that she promised to me. Her response? "You should know by now I'm a liar. Not my fault if you believe the things I say." FML
Today, I finally got a promotion at work. Today I also found out that no matter how long I work, no matter how much effort and unpaid overtime I put in for 6 years, my coworkers will be convinced I only got promoted because I'm the CFO's son. FML
Today, I did my work, the work of my co-worker who called in sick and the work of my boss who has no idea what the hell is going on all at the same time. I didn't get a promotion because I don't work hard enough. FML
Today, I was told by a former coworker that my former boss still talks about me being lazy, ever since the time I refused to do a few things on third shift when there was me and 2 other people working. I haven't worked there in 3 months. FML
Today, my extremely lazy colleague received a promotion with benefits, while I was fired for "not being a team-player". I had stayed quiet about her constant negative behaviour because my supervisor had said we needed to "have each other's backs". While I was protecting hers, she put a knife in mine. FML
Today, after putting in 110% at my shitty job for two years straight, my boss told me point-blank I'm too good in my current position for him to ever be able to justify promoting me. FML
Today, my lazy bastard of a co-worker punched me straight in the jaw because he didn't get the promotion I did. Being his new manager, I fired him. A few hours later, I was fired for "abusing" my power. FML
Today, at a staff meeting, our boss sighed and asked why I'm always in the meetings instead of my co-worker. I reminded him that it's because I'm the department supervisor, not my co-worker. He wouldn't believe me until he saw it for himself in our personnel files. FML
Today, I worked a long shift at my job while feeling like crap, anticipating getting a promotion. As my boss was leaving work, he informed me that because I also go to college, the promotion was being given to another employee that I trained a month ago. This is the second time this has happened. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It'd be funny if they actually did screw the boss and they're just mad that they didn't get the promotion.

They don't have to believe it. You just got it. "What? I can't hear you over the sound of my promotion." mic drop.

I guess one of the down sides of being attractive (or even just the sex the boss is attracted to) is that there'll always be those assholes who assume you got special treatment, no matter how much work you put into it. It's similar to how those who are related to the boss are treated. Just keep your head up OP. At the end of the day, both you and your boss know your worth, plus you get paid more....your bitter coworker can just go screw themself.

Couldn't that be a form of harassment? I wouldn't want people saying that about me. I'd report him. Or her.

That's because real and honest work is probably a foreign concept to them.

Haters always want what you have and find a way to turn it into something it's not. You deserve it. Screw him

Why do you assume it is a guy.

Hate those sort of people. It's never that they didn't do enough, it's always that everyone else cheated. Given this has been an ongoing issue for 6 months, OP might want to take it to HR before their coworker spreads his/her slanderous opinion of OP. Once rumors like that start, they are hard to kill.

Who cares? Getting upset only encourages him/her! As long as YOU know you didnt, that should be enough!
