You Didn't Get the Promotion/Job.

So, your work BFF got the promotion* over you. The one that you "knew you were getting." Sh*t. After letting your feelings out, perhaps having one, two, or an entire bottle of Pinot Grigio to drown your sorrows, get back on your grind. Realize that everything happens for a reason. This opportunity was not meant for you. The "failure" only means that something else is coming, so be patient. And in the meantime, work to be 10x the employee your friend was when he or she got that promotion. Be so skilled and specialized in your work that your supervisors can't ignore you. Be the best on your team and your best version of yourself. Of course, that stems from passion.
