Found out this week that I was passed over for a promotion that I had been working towards for 12 years.
My supervisor is retiring at the end of the year, I had been taking over for him while on vacations and absences for years. When it was posted, I applied for it, during the interviews it sounded like I was a shoe in. Turns out that upper management had other ideas. I ended up being "to valuable" to lose in my current position. The job went to someone from another department that is much less qualified than me, with no experience in the department that he will be running. What it comes down to is they can still get work out of me, while giving me more responsibility, with no pay or title...
So, if anyone know of any jobs in the Salem to Tigard area, please let me know.
