Today, I finally got to meet the new Director of my department. She was my intern eight years ago, the one I declined to recommend for a full time position due to interpersonal conflicts. She knows. 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

The future looks bleak

Today, I had an epic, two-hour conversation with a brilliant, beautiful future leader of our industry. She's an intern. I'm just some loser horndog of a senior manager in another department. FML

Today, a coworker introduced herself to me and told me she hopes I enjoy my new job. We've worked in the same building for two years. I say hello every time I see her. FML

Today, I was super flattered to find out that one of my former white collar colleagues recommended me for a job. It wasn’t until the phone interview that I realized it was at the lunch counter at her new office building. FML

How does that work?

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, we had a family day at my new job. I used to have a very abusive boss in my previous position, who even slapped one co-worker across the face in the office, prompting me to quit. Guess who turns out to be my new manager's wife… FML

At least she was able to become successful despite your lack of help.

Well, you were in the wrong eight years ago. Though it is weird that she actually remembered, you still screwed up back then. YDI

Years ago I worked for a guy who just did not like me, and although he wasn't my direct superior he succeeded in getting me terminated. 2 years later I'm a lead on a multi million dollar project for GM's Hummer division and guess who shows up on my staff? Yes.. The same guy. The company we had worked for let him go. But the thing is, he was very qualified for the job. So I stayed out of his way and we had a pleasant working experience together. Soooo... If she's smart.. She'll see your value rather than staying stuck on the past.

If the interpersonal conflicts were as a result of her being unprofessional, well, sounds like she learned and has moved on up. I've had conflicts with other nurses over the years, and have been able to see past them when the person seemed to improve and wanted to behave in a professional manner when we worked together. Hopefully she will too!
