To be annoyed that management position wasn’t offered internally?

I have NC’d for this

I work at a small business, I am classed as senior staff alongside a few others.
I have a really good relationship with the directors of the business, my work feedback has always been good and I’m currently working towards my final qualification.

I am first point of call for queries from junior staff and review their work on occasion.

Recently we have had a new hire, who is less qualified and less experienced than myself and the other senior staff who I work alongside. However they have been given a management title (and assumably a higher pay than myself).

The management position wasn’t mentioned to myself or my colleagues, we just received an email to say that someone new had been taken on.

The new person seems lovely, I just really don’t see what they bring to the table that myself or one of my colleagues couldn’t.

AIBU to feel a bit miffed about this? My colleagues also feel the same way, that given the opportunity we would have interviewed for the position.

You could have made that last sentence read better by saying "communication and use of correct language is very important". No need to repeat "very important" then ☺️

Edited - theres a rogue comma in your post too.

Edited

Repetition is used for emphasis.

And I’m dyslexic, hence why I hire people to do my business communications and am very careful about who is in a management role to ensure their writing is up to scratch. Certainly wouldn’t hire anyone running around saying myself in every sentence.
