In this intriguing professional scenario, OP finds himself in a unique and somewhat baffling situation. Initially, his aspirations were focused on an internal transfer to work under Manager A within their organization. However, a surprising turn of events occurred when Manager B, instead of considering the applicant for the role, decided to hire an external candidate. What makes this situation stand out is the subsequent interaction between the new hire and the original applicant.
The external candidate, who ultimately secured the position, reached out to the original applicant through LinkedIn, seeking advice and support as he stepped into his new role. The twist in this tale lies in the stark contrast between the qualifications and experience of the two individuals. The original applicant boasts an impressive academic background, holds a master’s degree, and comes with a track record of employment at prestigious organizations. In contrast, the newcomer hails from a lower-tier educational institution, lacks a master’s degree, and carries a less distinguished employment history.
This turn of events has left the original applicant in a perplexing emotional state. On one hand, he feels validated and appreciated for being recognized as the “go-to” person within the organization. On the other hand, he can’t shake off the sense of disrespect due to the hiring decision that seemingly discounted their qualifications in favor of the external candidate.
So keep on scrolling down below to read the whole story narrated by OP and make sure to read it till the end.
