I'm off for a few days next week thank but when I get back I want to feed back to her exactly what I thought of the reasons presented to me for not getting it. The reasons they gave made no sense and were contrived. Basically there has been a reshuffle at work so there were various positions that people were applying for.

Another guy who was going for one of those other roles received feedback on a question he wasn't even asked in his interview. So I get the impression this was all planned and I got a no. Either that or I was also strung alone. In terms of work I know I was the best guy for the job, when it comes to operational queries everyone normally comes to me to advise as I know all areas so well. That's what makes it all the more bitter.

My perception of the company and management has done a 180 and I think I am bordering on depression. I take my work seriously so when things like this happen it's a real kick in the teeth. I have come to a decision to focus my efforts on looking for a new job elsewhere but until I find something suitable ill just grit my teeth and keep doing my thing here. It's driving me nuts though, I spent yesterday evening drafting how I am going to structure my argument to my managers manager next week. And I couldn't sleep all night either, I kept thinking of other things to include.

I'm basically gonna pick their whole their whole argument apart and lay it on the table for them to see what idiots they have been.

having read the comment posted by my learned friend Lord Greavesie, i concur and such situations does give rises to biasness and conflicts of interest as seen in the "secret sounding system" regarding the appointment of judges prior to the establishment of the JAC.





up yours MH

Not that im a psycho or anything but that does sound satisfying on some levels 

The thing that gets me is now that I see this figure trying to stand in my way ive lost all motivation to work. Now I know how Dawson feels. 

Im still really off.

This is where you have to weigh the situation up and decide whether to

1) Play it safe and apply for a similar position later on this year. Persistence may work in your favour.

2) Or... play hard ball. Actively look for a new job and threaten to leave. I have done this to work in my favour. But it is risky. I would advise only threatening resignation once a new job offer is in place.
