Had been working at a small firm for 7 years. Worked my way up. I have a Masters and a Diploma Course in HR and had been the HR guy for the past 2 years.
A year ago we hired several new employees – turnover rate is quite high due to boss + the company being sub standard – I actually wanted to leave in 2020 – but stayed because of Corona and because my pay was above average.
Among these was one women with only an HS Diploma – and not much work experience. Unfortunately she became the best friend with the bosses secretary and immediately started plotting to get my position. God knows why she wanted it/thought to be qualified for it.
Fast forward to this summer – my boss actually gave this women the HR position as my co-worker. I protested and told him that
- There are 10 people here longer than her that would deserve the position/have more experience
- That she has no qualifications for the job and its dangerous and quite an insult towards me who had to work his way up for 5 years – and all the other people that were glossed over for a promotion.
He just said he doesnt care – his secretary told him that this women is the super trooper and he wanted her. Well its a few months later and I lost my job to this creature. Boss just called me into his office – said that I have been “hostile” towards her – and didnt do my job properly (after 7 years mind you).
He gave me no warnings – made no attempt to even listen to my objections – no attempts to solve the situation at all. And just like that I was replaced with someone less qualified. After 7 years of loyalty and diligent work.
You get nothing from working for someone – even after years and years they will still replace you within an instant when they get tired of you. And then they complain that no one wants to work – unbelievable.
