Today, at work, I was standing around, doing nothing. When my coworker pointed this out, I laughed and said, "It's okay, I'm training for a supervisor position!" Guess who was standing right behind me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Breaking news
Today, fifteen minutes before the end of the day, my boss asked me who I was training to replace me. He then said never mind, that it was his job to choose someone. I hadn't indicated that I was planning on leaving the company. FML
Today, at work, I took a call from an angry customer. After listening to his problem and fully explaining how we could fix it, he called me a stupid girl and said I need more training as I obviously know nothing about my job. I'm the company training coordinator. FML
Today, I learned that my boss is training one the the trainees I trained to be supervisor. Everyone supports this, including me. So what's the issue? I was promised that position almost 2 years ago. Apparently, I train people well enough to promote, but I'm not good enough to be promoted myself. FML
Leadership qualities
Today, I learned that although I’m apparently not qualified to be a department supervisor, I’m entirely qualified to train the person who got the promotion over me, who has never worked in my department before. Boy, do I feel appreciated. FML
Hello?
Today, at work, my phone rang. My intern answered it and told me it was a coworker who'd just left. I picked up and said "What's up bitch? What are you going to complain about now?!" It was actually my boss. FML
Manage your way out of that one
Today, after a string of crappy employees had come and gone over the month, I was joking to my manager that maybe we should move the "Now Hiring" sign further away from the trash can so we'd stop getting garbage hires. The new girl was right behind me. I'll be her trainer all week. FML
Trading places
Today, my girlfriend who trained me at the job we both work at received a promotion, which left a spot for advancement. I was chosen for the position, and now the guy she's been cheating on me with is training me. Congrats. 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 moved into a new apartment. While moving boxes, I ran into my supervisor from work. Guess who lives across the hall. FML

I agree OP there are two types of people in the workplace, those that work and those that hold clipboards. Hopefully they dont hold your comment against you.

I would be mad if the guy training to be my supervisor was just standing around...

Sucks for OP that he was there but that joke was pretty funny.

#3 was guessing that the boogeyman was behind OP since OP said "guess who was behind me"

Wow, crappy timing. Hopefully your supervisor has a good sense of humour!

You mean humor.

Either way is fine

Pretty sure #4 means 'humour' which is the correct British-English spelling.
SmuggletheBudgie 15
Always find it humorous when an American corrects British English spelling.

It's okay #12. Sometimes people forget the Internet exists outside of the USA.

I didn't know that it went outside the US

People forget the world exists outside of the USA.

There's a world out there? With different ideals and beliefs? No way! I would have never thought that was possible!

Yeah but we're trying to change it, one"liberation" at a time.

Well I guess you should learn to 'supervise' your surroundings better.

Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut, you don't know what can happen when you say something sassy. I hope the supervisor took it lightly.

Your avatar looks to me like the kind of face OP made when he saw his supervisor behind him.

You would think by now people would learn to look around before saying things that would get them in trouble at work lol

If they did we would have a lot less FMLs to read!

Should have looked out a little better. But YDI.

Maybe you will get replaced by the other OP looking for the entry-level job.
