Recently someone in my work, who has not been with the company for even a year, has been promoted to a senior title. A few weeks back someone else, who was with the company only 6 months also got promoted to senior. There are also a large amount of people, who have worked with the company for years, some 5-10 years, who have not gotten promoted at all. Yet these people know much more than the promoted people and have much more experience.
The first time I saw this happened I was angry, but got over it. Now its happened again, and I'm really not happy. I myself am the type of personal that volunteered to do extra for my boss and my work, and yet it seems all of this goes unnoticed. Then the person, who has done nothing extra, all of a sudden gets a promotion, and this person doesn't even know as much as I do at my job. I had asked one of the Leads who works there, and she told me that they promoted him because they "liked his resume the best". Almost like it was some pot luck shoot of the supervisor choosing the resume he thought looked the best.
So, on top of this guys promotion, he also gets a raise, 4 dollars anhour above our wage from a person who hasn't even been here a year at the company!
Talk about demoralizing your workers and giving them no incentive to do better. I'm done with that now for sure.
I'm so upset about this I decided to go back to school to enroll to be an LPN.
