Today, I found out I was passed over for the promotion I've wanted for 9 months at the fast food restaurant I work in. Who got the job? The 16 year old girl I trained 2 weeks ago. Their excuse was, "She has ambition." I'm going to college for food service management. She failed her drug test. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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 told I would not be getting the job I was offered because I failed my drug test. They never gave me a drug test. 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 passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. 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
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, after spending 8 months and $11,000 on school, I was denied a job in my chosen career field. They told me they decided to go with someone with more experience. So who got the job? One of my classmates. This is her first job. EVER. FML
Today, I was once again passed over for a promotion. I'm now the assistant to a kid who has failed to meet almost every single responsibility he's been given before. It's my job to make sure he's successful, and if he isn't, I'll lose my job. FML
Today, I was told I've secured the job I applied for at my local hospital. Being just 19, this is a great opportunity, and I told my parents. They angrily asked if I'd applied just to get access to drugs, then demanded to know how I'd managed to pass the drug test. Thanks for the confidence. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP can't afford to pay for that serve with no pay raise.

Ughh. Id like to say sexual harassment, but that girl isnt suffering a bit over this.
lickastick 27
How did you get anything sexual out of this FML?
Ambient25 25
Apparently the mention of the girl being 16 did. Run children, #3 isn't safe.
khaoticpanda 28
A 16 year old girl who failed a drug test gaining a promotion over someone whos more qualified and has been working there longer? What do YOU think of it.
Ambient25 25
I think it's called "usurping"...
Eleanor6141 11
Not everyone sleeps with their boss to get a promotion.
khaoticpanda 28
If a teacher looks at your ass and gives you an A, it doesnt mean you had sex.
Ambient25 25
Unfortunately this is the thought of some guys: "Hot chick made eye contact, I guess we're dating now..."
rocker_chick105 31
48- seriously, what point are you trying to get across??
whiteboy896 9
The **** is this chick talkin about?
Dynosaur_dollie 38
I think she's trying to say the young girl received the promotion because the boss thinks she's attractive, and may possibly have sexual intent. Still a really big jump, as there could be a million other possibilities. That's also not valid 'sexual harassment'.
jaycee1209 5
#48, Have you thought about the possibilities of the boss actually being a woman? The girl getting the promotion doesn't mean it has to be due to sexual harassment or anything in that area.
Eleanor6141 11
"I got a higher position and a raise for doing nothing! you're sexually harassing me!" yup. That would fly like a lead balloon.. ..
fuckedPriceless 17
Sexism goes both ways you know... Regardless, I don't believe this has to do with sexism or sexual harassment.

I don't know why you're getting so many down votes, the first thing I thought of is someone higher up likes the 16 year old.

I'm not trying to imply that correlation equals causation, but I worked at a movie theater for over 8 years with no promotion, monetary or positional, and I saw managers come and go as the years passed. Roughly 90% of the females that were promoted to manager positions were intentionally given the promotion within 4 months because the general manager had deliberate romantic intentions. How do I know this for a fact, you may ask? He was brought into corporate light about his personal relationships with those girls who he'd promoted to manager within a year and were still in high school. If that's not enough indication, he had personal (and quite uncomfortable) conversations with me about how attractive they were in the Victoria's Secret undies that he'd bought for them on their first dates (I had a reputation at the theater for being extremely non-judgmental). And, as no shock to the rest of us, he's currently dating a girl who once worked at the theater and ended up quitting just so she could date him and avoid flak for it at said theater. With that being said, it wouldn't surprise me slightly if OP's situation ultimately turns into my past experience.

It sucks that if a women gets a promotion, deserved or otherwise, people jump to the conclusion they slept with someone to get it. Especially if they're promoted over a man. Almost never assumed when males are promoted unless there's evidence.
zBLAKEz 23
She's still working there even though she failed a drug test?
asherm 15
If I failed a drug test, I'd be unemployed. Sorry OP! wtf is wrong w/ your boss??
greeneyebeauty9 28
I honestly wouldn't want to work at a place with those kind of standards.
jkmartinjk 16
I work at McDonald's and people come to work high/drunk all the time. I'm guessing it was not a work-issued test.
\ 28
This sounds like a ploy for the creepy boss to get closer to the girl...
BrotherPhil 35
Glad you can afford that choice. In food service, OP probably can't.

A guy at my work still got hired after failing the interview drug test. It happens, I guess.

He's impersonating E.T. He just needs to work on the glowing finger.
Jabberwockyy 13
That isn't even right. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your manager just might be a male. Though if they are, he doesn't make the rest of us look very good.

HA HA HA hope he wrapped his whopper before he gave it to her!
permaband_usr 14
yeah..I was thinking the same thing #170.... either that or... she has "potential" for back office rendezvous.
MrConcise 35
Is nobody considering that maybe the job in question is dead end and the company thinks they can trap and mold a 16-year-old druggie, whereas the college grad would have better opportunities?
junkman6 22
No I'm thinking the boss molded the 16 year old over his couch a few times and that's why she got the promotion. Nothing company oriented about this.
MossyStump 7
Its quite possible, but theres no way we can tell. Employers sometimes like employees who havent had any prior experience, as they can teach them "their way".
Peachy2392 26
Without some info from OP we won't find out. If it is a dead end job, then its probably for the best that they gave it to the 16 year old. With OP's degree, OP can do much better.
crazydave1998 6
exactly.. why train a college student who is gong to leave... then they have to retrain another..
rawr_ily96 24
#62, OP is going to college for FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT. I think he plans on moving up in the company rather than leaving.
Zebediabolical 45
She's got enough ambition to use her mouth. Maybe you should do the same
onlychildFTW 34
Just because one person might be "working" for the promotion doesn't mean they both should.
