It's inevitable.
Everytime I have a really good weekend, and come out of it on a high, something invariably happens on Monday to kick me back down again. *sigh*
Found out today that the position my husband has basically been filling in for and doing the duties of, without the pay or authority, has been given to some new person they hired, who wasn't even interviewing for that job!!!! They just liked her so much, they decided to offer her the job, without telling anyone in the department that it was open, without posting it, nothing...
I had a little heads up this had happened and let him know before it was announced in his department meeting, and he was quiet throughout it, but his boss was very aware he was not happy, and when she asked him afterward why, he told her. Basically, this came out of left field, becuase they weren't supposed to be interviewing for this job, and it was never posted, and by his manager saying that she was grooming this person to be her replacement, she basically just slapped everyone else in the department's faces by implying that none of them were good enough for the job.
She asked him if he would have applied, and he said yes, which seemed to surprise her, and then she said 'Shit' but it was too late by that point, obvoiusly, they've already hired the woman. So, not only has he been there for his manager, keeping her in the loop, basically running the studio (she's had some tough times recently) but when it came down to it, she didn't even *think* of him for the job...
Everyone else in the office just assumed he'd be getting this job, hell, they've all already been treating him like he's got the position, reporting to him, going to him to solve problems, job related and coworker related... it should've been offered to him.
He is not happy. I am pissed. I am so upset and angry that I am physically sick. I need to cry, and hug, and hurt something... We did not go to our stick fighting practice tonight, becuase when you seriously want to hurt something, it's not a good time to go swing a stick at your friends.
This was the only opportunity for advancement in his department. Now there's nothing, and we really have to look at whether or not it's worthwile to continue at this company... The same thing happened to me last year, essentially... there was no manager over my dept., just the big boss (my husband's boss) and she just 'created' this job for a guy, younger than me of course, without letting me or my coworker know in advance or have any opportunity to apply for it... I'm not sure the 25 days of holidays a year is worth it anymore.
We could take jobs with less pay if they were local, and still save by not having to commute 2 hours everyday...
I'm sad, and angry, and depressed and feeling very alone right now...
