I have a supervisor who I love to work with. She's the kind who stands up for her team against others, she's direct, there's no bullshit, and she is a joy to talk to. And she genuinely cares about her team. She has real mom energy.
I found out today that in the past few years, she has had interviews with two different companies that we work closely with. Her boss's boss stepped in and convinced both companies not to hire her because she's too irreplaceable.
The worse thing is they brought on someone with less experience, less seniority, and a higher salary at her same level. The new guy is extremely valuable, don't get me wrong, but she deserves better.
How do you just fuck someone like that?
