Today, I lost my job to a girl that graduated with the same bachelor's degree from the same college as me. She also got a master's in an unrelated field. I've been working there 7 months, and her master's in maths apparently makes her a better athletic trainer than me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the girl I hired and trained took my director's position. She's not even been there a month. I didn't do anything to lose it, they just decided she was more qualified. At least I was good at picking employees I guess. FML
Today, I found out the job I applied for in IT was offered to coworker. I'm going to school for it, she has no degree/desire/knowledge of it. She was my trainer, I literally worked beside her for 2.5 years, and kept saying, "I hope you get it, I'm not going to apply." It was offered 5 days ago, which I found out about from another coworker. 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, I found out that my ex-girlfriend got engaged to a coworker. I got her the job. FML
Today, after spending 8 months and $11,000 on school, I was denied a job in my chosen career field. They told me they decided to go with someone with more experience. So who got the job? One of my classmates. This is her first job. EVER. FML
Today, I lost my job to the individual I just finished training. Within 2 hours after being escorted out, my old boss called and yelled at me for doing a lousy job. He was angry that the training was deficient and because the new person is as bad as I was. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I tutored in high school in basic ENGLISH just received her PhD in Biophysics. I am now the manager of a McDonald's. I was also the Valedictorian of our graduating class. 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, because I'm a student, the employees I train make more than me. FML
Today, I found out my boss was quiet-firing me on purpose. Apparently, his daughter who works at this same company is pregnant now and needs a promotion. I have a Master’s and have been here for 9 years. She dropped out of college because it was “too hard” and the other day she put a metal spoon in the microwave. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She's probably hotter than you.

You're an idiot if you think your degree is the only thing that counts to qualify for a job.

Uh, dude, that's exactly how it works. Sorry it happened, but they get people based on how trainABLE they are, not trained exactly. It has nothing to do with you. I personally think it'd be worse if they didn't even have a degree. Or, like my cousin, who was replaced due to the other party knowing the principal while the new guy didn't even have a master's degree yet. The world is a little crazy sometimes, but look at it this way, you have the degree AND experience now, so finding a new job will be a lot easier.

There's obviously something wrong with the OP, and I don't think it's not having a degree in math.

Coming from another athletic trainer... It's not the degree that makes you valuable to an employer... It's your knowledge base, work ethic, and rapport with the athletes and parents. Luckily there are usually jobs open in the summer time. If you're really in doubt why you were replaced just ask your previous supervisor for their constructive feedback. This could end up being an enriching experience.

So the key to getting your FML posted is to type in all caps and using letters in words. Got it!

I'm just happy people are finally saying maths and not "math".
