For over 24 years I have always been told from my plant manager as a company, would rather promote from within, yet they consistently continue hire outside the company. Also having been personally told “we don’t just hand out positions. Everyone has to apply and go through the application process”, which was also not true on many occasions in the last 5 years alone. The hardest decision I have ever had to respect is the fact that I was personally groomed over 2 years for a supervisor role, which was not only handed to someone else but then having me personally transition said replacement into that role and now one year later someone who has zero no knowledge of the department has been selected as his replacement when he takes time off. All of this has made it increasingly difficult to feel I’m contributing enough or my input is even valued at this point after 2 and a half decades.
Having been passed over for multiple promotions, despite many sterling evaluations from all of my previous superiors well over the last decade alone. Now because they are super short staffed Im told if I proove myself there may be a promotion in my future but I now have to work for it?! I dont get this shit…
