A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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, we had two of our longest serving coworkers retire at the company I work at, and they hired two young prospects to replace them. The problem? They asked me to train them both for the next 4 months, cancelling my PTO in the process, and then I learned they were being paid nearly 20% more than I am. FML

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 found out that my friend makes more money than I do. She's a high school dropout and working at a retail job at the mall. I went to college for four years to get my job. FML

Seize the means
Today, the person recently hired to work in my spot during my days off started at a higher hourly rate than me, after I have been here for nearly three years. I asked for a raise and got a dollar more; meanwhile, my regional counterparts make 4 dollars more per hour. FML

Today, I found out that the new receptionist earns more than I do. I'm an undergraduate accountant and I've been working there for 2 years. Oh and I started out as the receptionist before I got a "promotion". FML

Today, I finished working a week's overtime managing admin, stock, finances, and three members of staff. I realised that despite all my extra work, I actually earn less per hour than the students who only work on the weekends. FML

Today, I found out that one of my subordinates, who is whiny, incompetent, undermining, the definition of passive-aggressive and stupid, was given a pay raise. She now makes more than me. My boss values a complete moron over me. FML

I'm a grad student. Being unemployed makes more than me. Such is life. Once you graduate, you'll make more than them. Hopefully. After you pay back those loans of course.

It'll get better when you get your degree. But in the mean time, FYL.

Yeah, it doesn't actually work that way. I graduated cum laude from NYU, and now I work part-time retail. High school drop-outs make more than me just because they've been with the company for years.

That's not an FML, it's your own fault

Yes, how foolish of you to seek higher education. What were you thinking? Seriously, what is with the crucifixion of educated people these days? Education in general? Political candidates were criticized for being too "collegiate." Seriously, I would think it would be a blessing to have intelligent, educated people in office. Why is America afraid of intelligence?

Not an FML; this is normal. Do your time, then collect your dimes. There's a final test before you can graduate, though: spell "than" the way it's pronounced. Hope you pass! Study hard.

**** you OP! Thats all I gotta say. I live in Ontario and its little ******** college kids like you who steal jobs from people who need them. Some people have families to feed and bills to pay. You just need jobs to have more money for beer and to ****-around on. **** you thats what!

or did it ever occur to you that the OP is paying their way through college so that one day they can create a company to make more jobs like assholes like you?

I don't remember hearing of college magically becoming free, 23, and college kids don't have to eat or support themselves or anything like that... right...

At least you have a job.

The same exact thing happened to me. I'm the office manager at a chiropractor's office but I just went off to school in August. So when we were hiring people to replace me, my boss told them that they would be making $2.00 more than me per hour. I refused to train them because I had been working there for two years and wasn't going to train people to do my job while they were making more money than I was.

You see, since we're not aware what your job is, what kind of student you are, and what kind of education the people you train have, it's not really an FYL! I work as a cashier.. I had people that were students train me, and I made more than them even though they'd been there for two years. Why? Because I had a high school diploma, and they were still in high school. Right now, I've been there for over a year, I train people who make more than me. Why? Because now, I'm just a college student, and they have college degrees. Suck it up and finish. It sucks being young, but you'll get your turn someday.

When I was a cashier there were people I trained that got paid more than me, because I was a student and wasn't available all the time, and my employer had premiums that they paid for various things such as "available anytime" and "available sundays" etc. I wasn't available anytime so I wasn't getting that premium.

Where do you work? And can I get a job there? That sounds like nothing I've ever heard of. I have a degree, and the store I work at pays me about forty cents over minimum wage. Rate of pay is based primarily on length of employment.

Simple math says to drop out of school. If you're a simpleton. It's called 'paying your dues'.

Hey aussfart: **** you, you loser! I'm a college student, but we have bills too! Tuition is a big one, books...plus I gotta pay rent, utilities, groceries, gas, etc... Most college students don't deserve those jobs any less than you do. Maybe if you were actually a student in college at one point, you could get a more secure job than having to compete with a bunch of kids!

And that's why I get sick of hearing people tell me "Just wait til you get into the real world".... OH REALLY? Pretty sure I know what the hell it's like!
