I am sending my resume out to a few companies as we speak. And upon doing so I began to reflect upon the past company I had been working for. At this particular company we had an employee who fell off a trailer, broke his leg and was given a promotion - to avoid workman's compensation benefits. You may say this is a smart idea because that employee was given a job he could do under his circumstances - where as the job he had previously he would not have been able to do (going from field work to office work). This made me quite upset because the position he was given was one that requires years of experience to attain and they aren't in great supply. What made me more upset was that a lot of my coworkers chose not to give much of a damn, just shrugging it off as the status quo. And I have heard many stories of certain women being hired by various industry companies because they fulfill the eye candy or office t*** quota.
Tell the research company that there's no incentive for you to work at the company where you're working now... and tell them that your only real motivation is TO NOT GET HASSLED. Also, tell them you've got 8 bosses. Also, definitely don't tell the research company that you're working on a JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS Mat.
No doubt true (largely relegated to reception jobs), but just as often muttered by men who've been passed over because they lack the actual skillset required by the job they're complaining about. Realizing one's inadequacy is a b-----; better to call your boss that. The more typical case is nepotism, in all its varieties. Most companies have policies against hiring direct family members, but almost all job openings go to friends and family members of friends.
Damn tmoney with the Don drapier pic..... My contribution to this thread is gone.... My advice... Work hard and you will get noticed being "that guy" that complains about the way and how people get promoted will make you less likely to be... You eat **** then you die...
