I've been working in my current workplace for about 2 years. My coworker has been there a couple of months longer, but I came in at a more senior level as I had prior experience.
My coworker was promoted to my level a month ago, but he has told my team he is also being prepped for a management position, so he is now second in department and more senior than me and my other coworkers.
I'm quite unhappy about this, because I work extremely hard, achieve similar results as him, have more experience in the field, and have been working at a more senior level for longer. I had an excellent appraisal recently, so no issues with my performance.
His promotion wasn't advertised, I would have gone for it if it was! If I hadn't got it, I would have been disappointed, but I was never even given the chance to apply.
My boss hasn't told my team that my coworker is now second in department, but he keeps having meetings with this coworker to discuss department strategies, recruitment etc, so I believe my coworker is telling the truth. I'm quite annoyed and not sure whether to bring this up with my boss, or to just find a new job.
