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, 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, 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

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

Well, hopefully whoever moves into his spot will realize your good work and have the same idea.

If the company sees your hard work and agree you'll get it if not your new boss (unless you get it) might promote you

Did I write this? Seriously, though, I was in the same situation myself a month ago, and what do you know: I DID get passed over for that promotion. Which I'm still bitter about; I've worked there 5 years, and the person who got the promotion instead was a new hire... Yeah, F both our lives.
