Am at a company for 6 years now – in that time I got 3 promotions. I have a Masters and a College Degree that perfectly suits the position.
A year ago a new worker appeared – she has only an HS diploma and not much experience because she has been with us only for a year.
However she somehow managed to become the best friend of the bosses private secretary. Within a year she “managed” to climp to where I am now. Her and the secretary allways bombard the boss how much more better than me she would be – and boss is apparently really considering to give her my position.
Like im done. You can have qualifications, experience, everything – it apparently doesnt matter – only likability does. Like I know she is much cheaper than me – but I shudder at the thought of someone like that managing 40 people….
