Today, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML

You'd think they'd keep that job and see if he doesn't actually need support. Yet here they are going on a hunch and probably open that position again.

Probably one of the more legitimate FMLs I've seen.

Unfortunately for some, most states are right to work and most companies don't have unions. So they can lay people off/fire people without much notice and all the person can do is get unemployment if they are laid off. Use it as an example how you handle failure in your next interview and say it's giving you a chance to interview with way better companies. That should help you get the job.
