Today, I was let go from my job, because I'm "progressing too quickly and there's no promotions available" and I "can find a better place to work at." FML

Just tell them you're not looking for a promotion, try and keep that job, and the next one you find get out of there because you know now that you work harder than you should and deserve better pay.

Fired because over qualified? Take it as a positive point and apply to somewhere better. Though losing an existing job does suck.

Only in America do we hate the people who are over achievers

Huh! To be honest I don't like such people either. .

You're always going to be either overqualified or under-qualified, it's the ridiculous way of the working world.

You have them write a letter of recommendation for you

your boss is a jealous hater... jealousy is love and hate at the same to time.

In all irony op deserves it because he deserves a better job it's definitely a fml but also you are clearly better than their average worker so good job!

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise and something much better is on it's way!

That sounds just like the excuse "it's not you, it's me" but instead of a breakup OP is getting laid off.

i mean yeah that really sucks and thats definitely NOT a reason to get let go.. thats probably the best thing to hear from an employer assuming hes not talking out ofnhis ass, so good on you man, make that guy a reference and get a better job
