I've been given a great opportunity to temporarily cover a vacant position at work since someone left. The job is a promotion for me and I am aware I need to be interviewed for it to become a permanent position, however I am in a very good place to get the job since I've been covering it for a couple of months.
I was telling a colleague from a different dept about this, I know her well, we're always having coffee and lunch etc. I was saying how much I'd love to get the job permanently and she knew how important it was for me. I find out today that she's applied for the job at the eleventh hour. It's not even a promotion for her, it's a sideways step. There are no other applicants.
I know she is perfectly within her rights to apply for the job, I just feel really pissed off about it and think it's a shitty thing for her to do. I would still have needed to pass an interview to get the job but now I have competition and pretty stiff competition she is too as she's better qualified than me. I know it's dog eat dog out there. Maybe I've been naive.
