Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I got fired. Yesterday was my birthday and I was told I was getting a promotion. FML
Today, my boss made sure to do one last thing before he retired. Fire me. 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, my boss made up a rumor that I was quitting my job so I wouldn't get the promotion that was coming up. There goes that raise I've been wanting for six months. FML
Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML
Today, I worked up the nerve to ask my boss for a raise. Today is also the day I found out my boss has a shitlist of employees he wants to fire, and that I'm now on it. FML
Today, I found out that when my boss said she was considering bumping me up to full time, she actually meant she was planning on letting me go. Everyone in the office except me knew. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There's always the chance you'll still get promoted; just to his position.

There's plenty of ways to lick Welshite. Most of them questionably legal.

Probably depends on who's doing the questioning? The lickee or the licker?

Use this opportunity to impress the board!

Just keep doing what your doing, if you impressed one boss, hopefully you'll impress the next one. Or...get promoted to THAT job.

yeah but if he impressed the boss that got fired, it might not be saying much.

Omg second time you've made me sound stupid xD
cryssycakesx3 23

If the board tries to hire for your bosses job, make sure you fill out an app and make them know you're interested.

I think you've got that the wrong way round.

Question, do people say YDI for no reason?? I don't see how it makes sense to say YDI for this .
clrichmond2009 24
badges. accidental button press. they're just jerks. there's all sorts of reasons.

I feel like for this one it's not so bad because OP is keeping the same position; nothing changes. That's not FML.

Hopefully you'll still get promoted! You might just have to try a tad but harder though
