Someone was kicked out of our team for underperforming and bullying. They were sidelined into a role to keep them out of the way and let the dust settle.
Fast forward a year or so and it’s turned out that a promotion role has been created for this person in another department and they’ve been given it (the company have made it look like they’ve followed process and advertised it properly but it’s clear that the role has been created for them, nobody else interviewed).
It appears the old boys network is still alive and well. I’m disgusted and very angry about this and have had a frank conversation with my boss about this. He says that his hands are tied but I suspect he’s been very key in giving this person a helping hand into the new role. I feel I want to leave the company, I feel so strongly about how unfair it is.
Can’t organisations see how morale is affected when they do these things? This isn’t what our company values are! Roll on retirement, I’ve had enough.
