As soon as I have all my facts sorted out I’ll share the fun with all of you, I promise. Until then I’ll just leave you with this teaser, when promoting someone it should be based on ability, drive and a proven willingness to do better. When telling someone they didn’t get the position they should not tell them stuff like, “You are limiting yourself because you are working too hard.”
Thanks to that kind of feedback I just lost one of my best producing minions. She now feels that she is being punished because she is a hard worker.
Did I ever mention my peers are farking dumb arses?!

If you find somebody who's driven and will bust their arse they often become hard to replace in their position. Thus they're passed over for promotion because the other slackards wouldn't step up to fill the void.
I've seen it at least a hundred times in as many different companies.
With inept management there really is a price to pay for being to good at one's job.

It makes just as much sense. . .
Wherever I've worked, I could count on one hand the number of competant workers who were promoted as opposed to morons with the mental capacity of a sack of hammers.

Something along the lines of "you need to learn to work smarter, not harder"? That there's a need to learn organizational or prioritizing skills?
Hmmm.. I don't get it.
