Firstly why does it matter if the other person in question here has a leaving cert? If he can do the job it's irrelevant what qualification he has.

Secondly if you're so sure that he can't preform in this position without your help then let him at it. Give no more help, if he's as inept as you say he'll be found out quickly.

Thirdly assert yourself more, make it apparent it's your work that's needed and valued.

Now this is all considering it's a perfectly normal unbiased working environment but what you're saying here screams of personal issues between employees and / or good bad relations with the boss or management.

Its a PS job, so you may be able to redress the wrong of, someone less qualified been picked over you. That is if your case is as sound as you say it is.

Maybe you have a much higher opinion of your capabilities than your superiors have. Also you are annoyed that you didnt get a job, which you did not apply for?

Finally your boss saying you will be missed etc... Perhaps he means you will be missed in a sarcastic way and is glad you are leaving

You seem very pissed off maybe this attitude has gone unnoticed in the past in your job

Next time a position comes up that you feel you can do, apply for instead of crywanking on here

All the best

It only became aware today to everybody, I can understand the OPs frustration, but maybe the person in question who got the job (which I find hard to believe in such a short space of time),

the situation could be questioned by the OP, if he has the nerve to do it, not an easy thing to do.

Well, look at it this way. At least being pissed off is better than being pissed on. I can tell you that from experience.

Not a single word of this thread do I believe.

Your own fault OP. No ifs, buts or coulds, you didn't put yourself up for the position, because you thought someone else was going to. In which case you didn't apply yourself accordingly. Is it possible that your boss forgot about you, and gave the promotion to someone else? Because I'd say it's likely. You should have at least reminded him or something. Either way don't be blaming others for your failure, because that's the problem with Irish people. They can't take responsibility for their actions, and instead blame others.

jobs are hard to come by these day as everyone knows, not applying for a job shows no interest. Why should a company beg somone to apply for a job when there is somone else showing assertiveness?

No1. Ask why you weren't put forward for the job. You are entitled to know especially if you are qualified for the position. Why wasn't the position advertised?

No2. Quit helping this fella. If he asks in future tell him he has to stand in his own two feet and show that he's capable of doing the job he's being paid to do.

No.3. If you have been discriminated against then make a complaint. I think it's the Rights Commissioner who deal with those sort scenarios.

It's illegal to be on a temporary contract for 3 years, the most is one year at which point you must be offered a permanent position or be let go. Maybe his year was up maybe you will get it after a year.[/Quote]


This is incorrect, you do not have to be offered a permanent contract after a year

Honeybooboo

No one knew that this position was coming up including my boss. At the time when we were told and I having to listen to management say that this guy would be perfect for it obviously I was taken back that I didn't speak up to put myself forward. Obviously the job has to been advertised to allow others to apply. I'm just saying that with my qualifications and experience I was surprised that he didn't say to me "you should apply also". My name was never mentioned at all. Even though I had to sit there with them and listen to it. Maybe I should grow a back bone and speak up more for myself. Sorry for the grammar earlier, I was that annoyed that I couldn't think straight.


Just to add that I am finishing up in a few months and this guy only started.

"When this permanent position came up, I really thought that my name would be put forward as I have worked in this industry for years while this is the first time he has experienced this. "

Shows the OP knew about the position and did nothing as expected others to put OP's name forward, nobody did as why would they?

Lost out on the job and now is badmouthing the new perm employee on an annoymous forum the last few hours

Yes shows the OP knew about the job at some stage,(the very early stage) how do I react to something that has not happened, but yet has happened without me knowing about it,

a lot of arse licking and car washing the guy got the job, but employees were bypassed, hey our company might go down the pan, but your worth it.

so essentially what you're saying is that so far....let me get this right....the only thing that has ACTUALLY happened is they have announced they're GOING TO advertise a position......?

Which you can STILL APPLY FOR?

but Noooo.....much better to go on the internet and bitch and moan about not getting a job which has yet to be advertised so that way, when you don't get it because of attitude issues you can turn around and say : Told you so, it's just not fair (stomp feet and make little fists for effect).

......

You nearly had me going there for a minute, until I realised that a position becoming available in the PS and being filled in a few days was about as likely as winning the Euromillions twice in a week without having bought a ticket.

OP you have said in a previous post that they still have to interview him and they have to offer it to him, so the position is still technically available.

So first thing in the morning put your war paint on and ask will they consider interviewing you too. Questions will come up and as you said you know more than him so maybe, just maybe you might just get ahead?? Go in confident. Short skirt, heels and cleavage will do wonders. DO NOT underestimate this. Do a trial run tonight and mail me the photos and I'll respond ASAP.

Stop being so negative and change the situation.

If the worst happens, offer your man a BJ just before and make him miss the interview!

Maybe its different in different sectors but one of my friends has been on a couple of temporary contracts for close to a year now and when that year is up she will either be let go or made permanent.

so you had ample opportunity to apply for the job, and chose not to, and you're complaining about someone else getting it???

Riddle....if you took the time to read instead of blather you would find out that the OP DID put himself forward. He had to go through a chain of command i.e. his boss. His boss was aware of his desire to fullfil any kind of permanent role yet opted to go for Mr. Useless Tootheless. ok?
"I'd say it's likely" ? Is that another blind assumption? As for blaming others for his failure...strong words there. If you are pissed off at having been dicked over by say a cab driver or a workman are anyone in general is that your "failure" ?

So anyone but an Irish person can complain about being screwed but if an Irish person does it then "that's the problem of the Irish" ?

What on Earth are you on about?

Do you feel better now?

ChubbyHubby

OP, what exactly do you do anyway? What was the job? Do they actually need someone with a lot of experience or just someone who knows enough and is cheap? Just talk to the boss and ask why you weren't considered.

Well if the boss opted for the other guy, then that's the way it is. I don't know the OP so I can't know for sure what the situation is in the workplace. Either way, this so called "Mr Useless Toothless" was chosen. But sure if he really is as useless as the OP says he is, then he'll fail at the job and maybe the OP will replace him in his position when they realize it.

So anyone but an Irish person can complain about being screwed but if an Irish person does it then "that's the problem of the Irish" ?

No I was referring to this mentality that Irish people have with blaming others. I didn't say anyone but an Irish person can complain about being screwed, but there is a mentality there. I admit I misread the OP, I thought he was having a go at the guy who got promoted instead of him, and blaming him for why he didn't get promoted.

Pulsating Star

Maybe your boss is been selfish and trying to get rid of a loser(mr two teeth) while keeping someone they can rely on(you)
Whatever the reason you now have to push to get on the interview list.

You should also consider, as its a supervisory position, skills other than knowing the technicalities are needed. Where I am, the couple of people who know the job the best are also totally unfit to be promoted to such roles, so emphasise your people skills,organisational ability etc not just knowledge of the day to day job.
Best of luck with it.

I assume he/she's just a keyboard warrior. If he/she's not and she looks down on people like this in the workplace that might suggest why he/she was passed over for the job.

Having contracted before, that's life. If you are the kind of person who's helpful then you better make sure you have something to set you apart, otherwise you are making everyone else look like they are on your level. Lesson learned I'd say
