Today, I was just a few days away from starting the training for my promotion to management, which involved a healthy pay raise and full time benefits. Today, news came down that the company is filing for bankruptcy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, thanks to downsizing and corporate restructuring, I was "promoted" to the entry level position I had 10 years ago. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I got a surprise raise and a promotion at work. Hours after accepting, our company was raided by police on fraud charges. Due to my new managerial position, I had to get grilled by cops. I may not have a job at all next week. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I got fired. Yesterday was my birthday and I was told I was getting a promotion. FML
Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML
Today, my company filed for bankruptcy, but the reorganize kind where it still functions. There are no funds to give out paychecks any time soon. They won't fire me. If I voluntarily quit, I cannot file for unemployment. I'm now an unpaid intern. FML
Today, my boss thanked me for all my hard work and promised me a raise and a promotion. Shortly thereafter, she sent out a memo announcing she'd sold the company. The new owner immediately came in to "restructure." I got demoted. FML
Today, I found out that I can no longer work at my dream job because of their financial status. And of course, just now that I was finally beginning to be happy with my life, something like this naturally had to happen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A company filing for bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean they'll be closing down. Filing for bankruptcy usually means that the company is pooling the debt they've acquired into one pot. Depending on how large the company is, you will probably not be loosing your job because employers are often encouraged to keep as many employees/branches as they can while paying off the company debt.

Well you could always try and find a job of the same level in another company? Still, sucks a lot!
