Today, I had an hour-long meeting with my manager where she informed me the reason I had not been promoted is because she felt that people would not like to work for me, because I would, "make them do their job." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, my boss told me that people from work have been complaining about me. Apparently, I'm not doing part of their jobs for them, and the other manager sometimes does. FML
Today, I found out that my boss, who had promised me a raise, is not promoting me. He says I don't have the right 'vibe' and I'm not 'relaxed' enough for the job. FML
Today, I found out that my promotion had been rescinded and given to someone else, all because I was on a pre-approved vacation. According to my boss, they need someone who's "committed to the company" for the position, and gave me a lecture on how if I keep being "lazy" and "unmotivated" I'll never get ahead. FML
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, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML
Today, I went in for I thought would be an interview for a promotion, but turns out there was no interview set up, and they'd already decided who would be the next manager. FML
Today, I interviewed potential employees for a job position that I was supposed to get promoted to. FML
Today, despite filling all the parameters for a model employee and being praised by multiple people over the time I was working, I was fired because a client complained to my manager that I didn't seem to know what I was doing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have come to the conclusion that your boss is an idiot.

well part of it could be solved if people could be fired without the company having to worry about them suing or drawing unemployment or sum dumb crap like that. there is lots of other reasons why ppl are lazy thats just one. i could write a book on why people are lazy and don't work

Ok. I'm pretty sure that's not true. No employer or manager would complain about that. My guess is that you took what she was saying as such when really, in a nice, professional way, she was telling you that you don't work well with people and basically that you're a bitch and no one would want to work with you. If you "made them do their job" by constantly harrassing them or being condenscending, then no good employer would want a manager like that.

Coincidence? My spouse, who is a manager, had a meeting to tell someone that they didn't get a job the previous manager had all but promised them. She was very troubled about it. But the person admitted interpersonal flaws in the interview process without indicating any efforts to improve.

I suspect that nurses and firefighters' work fall under essential services and therefore fall out of the employment standards for most countries. So they may be required to work additional hours.
