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

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

She's still working there even though she failed a drug test?

I'm imagining this 16 year old girl as Bon Qui Qui from the "King Burger" MAD tv sketch. If you've never seen it, go YouTube it.

You'll get there eventually...the point of her drug test she'll probably take another one fail it and lose her job...

Reminds me of "Ted." Have sex on a pile of produce in the back and be sure to be loud so that you get caught red handed. That'll get you that promotion for sure.

What a bunch of bull shit. You should get ahold of regional manager and lodge a complaint. Of course you will have to prove she failed her drug test. Boy I'd like to know where this place is so I could give her a hard time

why do you blame the girl??
BrotherPhil 35
We don't; we blame the manager.
Bcfrmkc816 17
Well I do hope that you finish up your schooling and get a position above her. That'd be awesome

thats not a diss thats a compliment aim your goals and asspirations higher. That dumb girl will probably stay there forever getting over worked and underpaid. While you will go on to bigger and better things

...How does this even happen?

Same things like that happens at my job too. But believe it or not, sorry to say, the ones that get the promotions are the ones with open flexible schedules that don't have "college" courses that interfere with their new duties to become a slave to that job.

That's a good point. It is fast food, and you're going to school, not done your degree. For all we know, you just finished your first semester. Or you're near completion, which would make you likely to quit and choose a restaurant that would hire someone with your degree. Though I'm not saying that makes it right.

Most states have child labor laws that restrict the number of hours a minor can work per week. Plus a 16 year old should be in school during the day. Unless she's a high-school drop out, then I can't see how her schedule would be more flexible then a college student's schedule.
