A maintenance supervisor and a maintenance chief. The fat guy is the one really pulling the strings. I was up for promotion and he was the only one on the board of four that wasn't feeling like promoting me. So, they gave it to a guy who's still in tech school, but is older, fatter, and married and got 4th place on the written. I went to tech school right out of high school and know more about the work I do then this guy does. I proved it on the written test that I took prior to the interview. I got the second highest score. I believe that the guy who got a higher score than I did cheated as he finished the test in a half hour and it took me 45 minutes.
That guy is also an old drinking buddy of the fat guy. The fat guy really wanted him to get the position. But, he' an ass. He tried to test the test proctor during the practical exam, and the proctors wrote that down.
So, I was/am on the list for 18 mo. after should another position become available.
Another old drinking buddy gets promoted and a new vacancy is opened up for me. I'm now number one going in. Then there are two out side guys who scored 2nd, 3rd, and 8th. I do the interview. This time with just the maintenance chief and maint. super.
I just found out today from the rumor mill that the guy who got 8th on the written got the position. He's always hidding from work. The supervisors can't keep tabs on him. A supervisor who wanted me for the spot told me that. He also told me that he told the other supervisors during a meeting today that if they gave him the spot, moral was going to go down.
I know I feel like shit now.
I believe they gave it to him because he gets a long pretty well with the most recent supervisor, who is again, drinking buddys with the fat guy, also him self fat, and has two kids, and cheats on his wife.
I know, it sounds petty. However, I'm not the only one that thinks my reasoning is unfounded. Other people at work have asked me if I ever raced the fat guy and beat him. No, I have not. I could though. He's got a '67 Camaro that runs 14's. My 'vette runs 12's. If I did, I'd probably be harassed even more at work than I am now.
I don't think I'll move up until the fat guy, quits, retires, or dies. He's barely enterd his forties.
That's why I hate fat people.
I need to find a new job.
