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

ahh I hate to burst your bubble O.P. but you kind of deserved it but at the same time not really. You should've been wanting that position like you mean it! You shouldn't have lost it to some 16 year-old girl. I'm sorry but you should've been just as ambitious. But yeah that sucks... :/

How do you know that op wasn't just as ambitious?
karystaal 12
it clearly states that OP has wanted it for 9 months and is putting in extra effort to study whats required for the job. if thats not ambition then idk what is.

Either you're the world's most lackadaisacal worker and she's scored 100% on every test/observation and works twice as fast as any other employee, or something is going on. Corporate needs to have that suspicion reported. If your manager is taking advantage of a 16 year old kid, whether it's already molestation or whether it's still in the grooming/bribes/rewards stage, corporate needs to know. If you really honestly suspect something, you also need to report this to child welfare services. If you sincerely think that nothing hanky-panky is going on, the girl is safe, and your manager is just a moron, start applying to other stores in that chain (if they exist) or for manager positions in similar restaurants. I have a sneaking suspicion the manager is getting manager-type work out of you in terms of team leadership w/out having to pay you the extra to actually be a shift supervisor! I had a boss that tried that.

Their excuse was, she put out, or is leading them to believe she will.

contact your district manager, or what it's called. that's liable to get that manager fired for promoting an employee that failed a drug test. And there is gonna be an investigation

You do realize that 'manager' could also be the owner, right? Not everyone is part of a corporate chain...

Even if it is the owner, and the store is a franchise of a bigger company (such as mcdonalds). The company can take the store off the franchisee for misconduct. That happened to my store.
