Overlooked
Elise has worked in the same position for the past three years. She is a dedicated worker who is well respected and liked by both management and her coworkers. On at least three seperate occasions, she has applied for management positions that were ultimately give to staff members with less experience and education. In the most recent case, the position was filled with an employee they hired from outside the company. She doesn't know why this is happening. She thinks this is unfair and has become angry, bitter, and resentful. She wants to confront management about being overlooked for promotions, but is afraid they will see how bitter she has become. She is wondering if she should just look for a new job. What should Elise do?
Go figure. Women not getting promoted in the workforce. This is what is wrong with the world. I think any woman would become super bitter. I think she should look for a new job. If she can't find a job that will most likely promote her in the long run, then maybe she should go to higher authorities at where she works now. She shouldn't go in and sound bitter about it. Maybe she should just ask them what she can do better to get her promoted to a managing position. Maybe ask what qualifications did the others have that made them choose them. But I would probably look for another job in the mean time. In a woman workforce.
ReplyDeleteI think that Elise should confront management about it. The worse that could happen is they will tell her why she hasn't got it. If they give her god reasons then okay but if they can't give her reasons to why she can't get it then she should start looking for a new job.
ReplyDeleteI would look for a new job. It's stupid that she hasn't been given any credit, and if they can't recognize it, then somebody else will. That's like staying in a crappy relationship. Would you put yourself through that? No. Dump that job like you'd dump a crappy boyfriend and go find something better. Life's too short to be unhappy.
ReplyDeleteI think that she should look for a new job. If she is able to be promoted and make more money then she should. I wouldn't just sit there and take the crap from everyone. I would find somewhere that I would get treated better. I would be upset that they keep giving it to someone else that doesn't have as much experience as you. I suggest that she finds a new job and get more money.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame Elise for getting angry, I probably would too. I would approach management and just ask them what she could do to maybe get a promotion. I wouldn't sound angry or resentful toward them, just be respectful and politely say how you've been working hard to get this position and just aren't sure why you're not. There's nothing wrong with asking. If they don't give her the answer she wants or say she's just not fit for that position and Elise doesn't agree, I would find a different job where she is going to be happy with her position.
ReplyDeleteI would probably be angry like Elise too. I would either tell my boss about it or look for a new job. I would make sure that if I confronted higher management about it in a respectable way. She shouldn't sound bitter though, like Cami said. If she talked to higher management, it couldn't hurt. But if they can't recognize her work, then she should just look for a new job. There's many other open doors for opportunities out there.
ReplyDeleteI think she should look for another job. Like what Cami said not enough women get promoted in the world. I honestly dont blame her for getting mad.
ReplyDeleteI think she should confront her boss and if that doesn't work she should just keep doin what she is because she may get it then if she doesn't she should quit
