She was three days shy of her 90 days when she applied. Company has a policy that says she can’t be promoted within the first year without approval from a manager so she asked. Her manager and her manager’s manager approved her to apply for the position, but their manager squashed it at day 98 saying she hadn’t yet shown her loyalty to the company. They then went with an outside hire. I can’t, for the life of me, understand how they thought that outside hire would have more loyalty, or how they thought that wouldn’t drive her to look elsewhere.
