ryaldinhio 4,491 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 ...... had a few bevvies and I'm a bit pissed off. Short version I was was interviewed for an internal promotion in the business where I currently work for a new role of Ops Manager. Got down to final 3, for 2 roles. Today met one of the directors who has told me I challenged the directors board more than the others and challenged their targets in the timescales they set out. He also said I was "by far and away the stand out candidate in every part" and if they were only going to appoint 1 person to do this role they would have appointed me.... BUT the business wanted to appoint 2 and the other two were more open to working in a pair. What the f**k????? Your the best man, but we would rather appoint these two therefore paying twice the money because they are obedient and do what we say????? Time for change I think. Dont need to reply lads, just a bit f****d off and nowhere else to vent. Get me back to the chickens and pigs 8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,417 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 From what I can gather reading your post mate you are like me not afraid to speak your mind and no matter how good at your job you are if the company is anything like the one I work for where most of higher management are younger than me and don't have many old school values one is saying it how it is as I know they don't like it just by their reactions where sometimes when they are trying to bullshit me they won't even look me in the face. I have had a similar situation this week as I put in a flexible working request a wile back to drop a day to work Tuesday to Friday that then they were quite happy with my request as it would save them money though a meeting last Thursday they turned me down giving me a few pathetic excuses that I know if I was a lot younger in would have told them to stuff there job and jacked their and then. My advice is just let it go over your head mate no matter how much it bothers you as in my case I think that's what they want. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,099 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 It’s all about being a “team player” now; consensus, “group think”. It used to be about leadership, decision making, the buck stopped with the man who made the decision. Now nobody is held responsible because everyone was part of the decision making process. Cheers. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get me back to the chickens and pigs Personally I lt reads like you dodged a bullett R. if it takes two people to do the task mate , it’s sounds like they are recognising your skill set is best suited to another role . id personally take that as a compliment and watch with glee as they argue and attempt to share the glory for themselves . you get to go to all the weddings ( a more profitable company ) if they suceeed and none of the funerals ( task failure ) win win 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
