Was having a discussion with friend about her workplace. They are all very junior management grade on their team, with a handful of slightly more senior management overseeing the team. One of the more senior managers keeps contacting a young woman on the team about applying for a more senior position. Even on her days off she will get a text from him saying 'x jobs have come out now'. He doesn't appear to do this with the rest of the team and give them 'heads up' like this.
My friend says she finds this really demotivating as it's like he is picking favourites and it makes her feel unnoticed. I argued that it would motivate me more to try even harder to stand out.
Not really an AIBU as such, but just wondered what stance you would take on this.
