I think I work for the devil...
I know that my workplace is awful and well, I've moaned a lot about it and somedays I think that maybe it's me who's just unhappy and it's all because of me... not anything done to me by anybody... well then, it's not me!
I've applied for a few internal job tenders for the passing year or so and have been rejected over and over again. Nobody denies my professional skills, nobody can say I've not been a good reliable worker with a strong sense of responsibility, and yet, they'd always find fault - either no managerial skills or you don't have this technical skill (not that the person who came had any of it either...). I thought my boss was just a chauvanist, or that he'd prefer having new people around and not promote the ones that had been there before him...
heh... I was even more naive than I could believe.
There's a new tender for a security system person and rom what I was told he will probably be just a system guy... aka, the position I want, the one I've been doin' anyway without getting the appreciation or any courses in the field.
I figured no chance I'd get it... yup, I was right....
My current immediate boss went up to IThead and asked him why can't I get that job - and the IThead said there's no chance I'd get it... and when my boss prodded further, he found out that it's cause I'd gone over the IThead's head in the past... when I felt unhappy with the way things were in my regard and well... you'd think this is something a worker should be able to do... but not here. Ever since he'd been deliberately preventing my promotion - making sure I never win any tenders...
What's worse, this new tender - it will mean that the new guy will take all my system responsibilities... things I'd been doin' for 4 years!!!!
Be that a lesson to you all... for me it's too late.
