corruption
So, to prove I'm working in one of the most corrupt places in Israel, here they're at iy again...
My boss, the head of the PC support team was given a position for which I applied for as well, despite the fact that I had inside info that they made sure my boss fit the job criteria because they wanted to move him from the position of manager of the support team. He was having issues with the administrative assistant of the CEO and she wanted him out... She tried various ways to get him fired but he had tenureship and he wouldn't budge, so they decided to lure him with a different position... he knew what they were doing but he wanted out of the support manager's spot.
I, of course, didn't lend the job...
Now they have the Support manager position available.... but, will they promote one of us to the position? Hell, no. They will of course allow us to offer ourselves.... but I read inside mail... they are going to insist on such citeria that nobody within the lottery can nominate him or herself and thus they will either disqualify all the people who will apply, or possibly nobody will apply...
They want somebody who is like a million degrees above the current support manager's level of education.... They want 3 years of experiencing in Helpdesk management, MCSE2003, some sort of junior engineering degree... and somebody who is also a hands-on person where PC support is concerned.
I'm pissed... I'm an NT MCSE... I paid a TONE of money to study for it, but I'm not getting any upgrades from work, and I'm not given the chance to prove myself in management positions... and I'm working here for more than 4 years! and well, at this rate there's no way I will be getting out of this position... not with the policy of keeping people and the bottom positions small and tiny and unimportant...
Only thing I know is that the type of person they are looking for will be way way overqualified to manage a team of two technicians and one helpdesk girl.... and way way beyond PC support... and probably way way up there salary wise...
not that it will matter... once they'd eliminated us internal hopefuls, they can do whatever they want...
