I recently applied for a management role in another organizational unit. My role has considerable overlap with that work area. They decided to only consider external candidates after the first round of interviews.

They settled on someone that doesn’t really have relatable experience. I’ve had to train them on so many things. It’s just demoralizing.

A project I did is getting written up in a national (industry) publication soon. It represents the type of work that I interviewed for.
But fuck me, right?
