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

Ever seen the show "the office"? watch it.... maybe everything will turn out okay.

How is this injust? It's quite possible the intern progressed a lot faster than the mentor. I mean, think of it this way: back in kindergarten, my kindergarten teacher was far, far, far superior to me in English. However, 15 years later, I've gotten a lot more adept, and I wouldn't be surprised if my 'mastery' (I am using that term very loosely) far supercedes her skill. Why? Because I did more studying and worked on improvements than she presumably did. So would it be unfair if I got a job requiring high vocabulary and she didn't? I wouldn't quite say so. I'd thank her for training me when I was a newbie, but now that I have the better experience of us two, I'll gladly take my job, and wish her luck.

#28 - it's kinda doubtful that you're better than your kindergarten teacher... i'm sure that they can properly spell "supersede". but don't worry! you made literally the most common spelling mistake in the english language. although that's probably *not* one you want to make if you wish to boast of a large (NOT high) vocabulary. seriously? suck less tomorrow. source: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2008/08/25/Supersede-most-often-misspelled/UPI-48171219702611/

Actually according to websters dictionary "usage Supercede has occurred as a spelling variant of supersede since the 17th century, and it is common in current published writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error." So technically its not spelled wrong either way.
