Our kid has gone through something similar twice in the past 5-6 years with two separate companies. Last year, a job promotion that should have been automatic dragged on for months. In the end, the person who was given the job was a friend of someone higher up in the company.

A truly depressing time for our kid, but sometimes bad stories have happy endings. Seems the person who was hired into the managing position has been awful. Even that person's friend can't mask their poor work performance.

In the meantime, a position in a special projects department opened up, and our kid was elevated to that position. It ended up being a much preferred position in the company.

In my case as well it turned out the best.

I totally bailed on that industry and started at the very bottom in another one.

Everything worked beautifully after that.

Go figure!
