So this just happened a few weeks ago. I am in an operations role at my workplace with 20 other people. We all had to work our butt off and do interviews to get our job. Now it's a fairly easy one, and we are all WFH. Now we just got a new teammate sprung on us a few weeks ago and we're told that she needed some training in our department to get back on her feet before getting sent back to her sales department. Now I want to be frank, some of us are not pissed at her and her situation. It's the executives that we are pissed at. So this new teammate, she did not have to interview like we all did. A couple executives decided that they were giving her, maybe not even, demanding that she be in our department. The issue is, a few months ago, she had some medical issues, and went on leave in her role in sales. When she came back, apparently she was having issues catching up to a lot of things, and her supervisors or Managers, where ever the heck they were, were having “trouble” getting her back up to speed. Well what usually happens if you are not performing, you get let go, right? Typically how it is at most job, no hard feelings in that situation. Well the executives “think” that she would get better training in our department, but we're not sales. I come to find out here, after talking with this new teammate, that when she went on medical leave and came back and after a few months of not catching up to speed, that she thinks they put her into our department because of her medical issues. That they can't let her go because of that, could be legal repercussions if they let her go and she could sue. So I thought about it more, and it would make sense why they would do that. Since when do you have a couple VPs, directors and HR specifically offer a low totem pole employee a chance at another department a few months later after coming back from leave? The more my teammates and I thought about it, the more we got annoyed. Cause if we all weren't performing, we'd get fired and not offered another chance. But since they had something to lose, they catered to someone who may be able to sue if she got fired. Am I wrong to think that?
