Today, I found out that a co-worker has been promoted to Store Manager. She has been here for less than 6 months, and I have been with the company for 10 years. Guess who has been training her for the last 6 months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, 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, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. 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, the manager that made my life a living hell for 3 years, who was demoted 6 weeks ago and transferred to another store, was transferred back to us as a salesperson. Now we work side by side 42 hours a week on the same exact schedule. FML
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
Today, I found out that my assistant is now my manager. FML
Today, I learned that the manager I switched jobs to escape 7 months ago will be my new boss. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Find a new job. Your situation won't improve unless you make an effort to change it.

perhaps they have more experience mangering and just needed to know how things work.

Have you been in the same position for those 10 years and or showed any self motivation to up skill to be considered store manager material? I know people who have been in jobs for 10+ years too but they literally know nothing about how the business works outside of their role.

Amount of time does not mean you deserve promotion over another. Are you management material? Have you made it clear that you were even interested in a management position. I think it is important to set goals and be clear with your peers career goals.

years don't equal entitlement.

Then she was hired on as store manager and probably either has more experience or more qualifications

You're obviously infinitely more valuable as a Store Manager Trainer than as a Store Manager. Stick to your strengths!
