My job just keeps getting weirder and weirder, and not in the complimentary sense of the word.
So... the job I applied for, but didn't get...
My coworker/former best friend got it. I found this out a few days ago. Big mixed feelings there. I'm upset that I didn't get the job I wanted, and I'm also upset that I'll be losing my favorite coworker. He's the only one with any real logical problem solving skill, and the only one besides me who brings the sanity check to the table when everyone else is talking out their asses. This leaves me feeling more alone than ever.
The big news, which we just got 10 minutes ago is that he starts his new position today. Not just today, but right now. As in, the announcement was made, and he was immediately told to start moving his stuff to his new desk. He won't be part of this next iteration at all. And our other developer is out today and tomorrow, so that leaves me literally on my own until Monday.
I'm still in some shock over that.
The other big news, which makes me feel especially melancholy, is that we're going to hire another developer, someone senior level.
We have three levels for this position, I, II, and III. I'm a II. I've been trying to move up to III for the last year. I was on my way to doing that, even had a plan with my manager, until we started this new Agile transition. Now I'm very unclear about where I stand.
If we're hiring a new III, does that mean I can be a III, and we can hire a II to replace me? Or does it mean people have already made the assumption I'm not qualified to be a III, and I have to remain a II while we hire some new guy to be a III?
I'm so confused.
My level of job satisfaction, what little was left, just plummeted into the toilet.

Well push to get there attention on moving you to level three I love you
*hugz*
I run into the same problems here. Other people I've talked to have had the same thing happen to them. The powers that be like to spend most of their time & effort on trying to attract new talent, instead of rewarding talent they already have.
I've been fighting the title fight for two years. No one listens. But that doesn't mean that nobody will listen to *you*. You have every right to ask if they would consider promoting you & hiring another level II to replace you.
I really hope things get better for you at work, or at least more tolerable. You have enough to worry about with Joe being overseas. ♥♥♥
I've tried and tried to move around in my company in the last few years. Then when the opportunity knocked on my door, I didn't answer it because it was a shit position with a bulls-eye on it. Working sucks. Especially if you work for a bunch of knuckleheads.
Back to the vampire thing - I laughed when you told me about the "accidental infection" thing, and then realized I had the same exact conversation with Willie. We would bring each other over so that we would have each other forever.
But, the real question is: If you had the choice of becoming a vampire, would you do it or would you walk away and remain mortal?
