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

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.

Wake up. Education jobs, even in high tech, are always low paying.

Im on my Ipod Touch so your gender and location doesnt show! Thus I say: if your a female, though Obama signed a bill making this illegal, still women are often paid less than their male counterparts.

I've been at my current job for 4 years now, and every single person I train makes more than me. It is not because they are better educated, it is because as minimum wage goes up, the base pay goes up, and the employees that already worked there dont get any extra. Four years of raises and new hires make more. That's life.

I actually ended up on the other end of this deal a few weeks ago when I got my current job at UT. My interviewer was a student, who receives the student pay rate of $6.50/hr. I go to the community college down the street so I get paid $11/hr. I haven't confirmed if my pay will drop when I transfer next year.
