I lost out on a job promotion
I can't believe I didn't get that promotion at work :(

Ah dang... Sorry that happened to you. It stinks too because a lot of the time that stuff is just decided by who is liked more, or who has better connections, and not actual merit. If you're good, I'm sure you will get recognized at some point.

Agreed, it's a popularity contest!

Well, keep a good attitude. If you like the work and the job, hopefully that will be enough.
