I applied for a new role it’s a few bands higher but I am qualified within that field just haven’t had much hands on experience.

The position is a secondment so it is a learning opportunity also.

Colleague showed me her screen today and previous message was to our manager of her saying “s is not a band 5” so she feels im not good enough.

I called her out on this and she started crying right away and apologising.

we work together once a week but now I just feel very off about her.

Manager didn’t pull her up on this until I said which is also very shitty.

Aibu to not forgive her so easily? I don’t want to create a bad atmosphere but I just feel so angry.

No I’m not a band 5, a secondment has came up which I applied for.

Colleague found out I had an interview and told our manager that she doesn’t think I’m a worthy of a band 5.

Was it her place to judge your performance, is she trained to be able to discern people's capabilities?

The fact that she was crying after you confronted her about her comment (which she should not have left for you to see), is not very professional.

However, if you are learning while you climb the ladder, make the most of the secondment. It is an opportunity and your time will come.

I'm sorry you have been so disappointed, try not to let it spoil things for you.

Why should she call her out? The only thing she did wrong was leave the message visible when you saw her screen. Presumably she was asked her opinion and she gave it.

Good grief, there's any amount of stuff I've asiad about colleagues that they wouldn't want to see. I've also said a ton of complimentary stuff, but if I was asked for my opnion regarding a possible promotion, I'd give it. And sometimes it would be "I don't think they're ready for this role"

Why would you be getting involved when no one asked for your opinion though, as has happened here?

Congrats on getting the role, OP.
