Man... I'm really bummed out.

[E equals MC2]

I have an interview coming Monday for an internal promotion... I didn't get it the first time. And I don't think I'll get it this time either due to the EXACT same politics- the hiring manager's own suboridnate is also applying and same applies to one other position.

I'm the only one getting the short end of the stick. I wish my own team had an opening so I can ride up freely.

The EXACT same thing happened 7 months ago too. WTF.

I'm sick of making $40K and going financially nowhere as a 26 yo bachelor living in the city...

Sigh.

I would like to. But if I really hold out and get this position, it'd look REALLY good on the resume and I can Really get a nice job when I leave this company in the future instead of now.

Because if I get this promotion, my resume would read:

Project Coordinator '05-'06
Project Specialist '07-'08
Assistant Project Manager '08-Present

 

[Row1and]

what kind of your job are you in? and what is your political party?

 

[Modeps]

repost.

Just kidding, this thread should cheer you up for about 5 minutes... you know, before the shame sinks in.

This ought to do it:

:music:
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.
:music:

Cheer up Charlie:music:......

Maybe its time to find a new job?

 

[Mr Pickles]

Not interested. Welcome to your life. Wake up and change something about it if you don't like it. You aren't getting the job you keep interviewing for because you are inferior to the others that interview for it as well. Take a hint, you aren't good enough for the job. Find something else; move on. "But there's nothing else, the job market is tight, its hard, its what i really want to do, I like the city"... don't want to hear it.

Did you read? They got the position because the hiring team's own subordinate applied. The exact same thing is happening this time again.

My boss even told me, "It IS a bummer, if there was an opening in our team, you'd move up in an heartbeat just in the same fashion."

So I've just been getting lucked out.

The only thing I can think to cheer you up is that more and more teen girls are posting themselves naked on the internet each year.

I recommend:
Next door nikki
Jordan Capri
Nastya 18
Ivanna Fuckalot
The Milton Twins
Ashley Allure (from my town no less )
The married gal from Ideepthroat

And theres one more thats really famous but I cant think of her name. She's been doing it for a little while and now her kid sister has her own site as well.
If you dont wish to pay for a site, go to orsm.net or dumpstersluts.com. They have so many free sets of pics you wont even feel like you need any more.

These nice young cuties will make all your problems go away.

I dont get it.

 

[Gibson486]

Move out of the city. Problem solved. I used to live in the city and then I moved. I did not want too, but living in the city just is not practical anymore....even if you work there.

 

[child of wonder]

This is also a common occurrence in American management. All I can say is "get used to it."

Both I and my wife see management circle jerking each other all day long. "It's not who you know, it's who you blow" as my uncle says.

I would still look for jobs outside of the company. Don't sit around in a dead end up job because someday your resume MIGHT look good because of it.

yeah, the worst thing you can do is just sit around and ride it out. If you just sit around, you will not advance anywhere. You have to go looking for something better. Rarely does a better oppurtunity just fall in your lap. The worst thing you want to do is have the company realize they can treat you as a floor mat.

Well....I only know the first...so if it is bad, I am only half bad as you.

You've only had your current position for less than a year. At most a year and two days. Lighten up. You can't get a promotion every single year. You'd be the president too soon if you did.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Oh boo-fucking-hoo, I work my ass off for considerably less then 40k a year at 25 while living in a city and you're bitching about your resume not looking better because you can't get an internal promotion so you can just fly the coop to find something better anyway.

You may think it's BS and that you're "unlucky" to be in this position, but I know a couple of guys including myself that might not mind being in your predicament.

I'm probably looking at it too logically. I like laughter, help me laugh.

The real key is the last part--taking the 'f' out of 'way'
