well -- I was (still very much am) happy with the decision they made for the new assistant scrapbooking manager (even though I would have gotten along better had they chosen the other of the two folks up for the job with me)... but I think they handled it all very poorly.
The successful candidate found out on Thursday. I worked with said candidate all day friday and wasn't told. In fact I asked her if she's heard anything and she had to lie to me because they'd asked her not to say anything.
I found out last night because I had dinner with my boss and her hubby and my hubby. If I'd felt any other way about the news, dinner would have really stunk!! Nevermind.
Anyhow -- I sent an email last night saying congrats to the gal who got it, to show no ill will and to show support of her.
The other gal who didn't get it was in this afternoon and worked the crop with me tonight -- they didn't tell her until nearly 5:30pm (she arrived at work at 3pm). She was told by the store manager (because our scrapbooking manager is on vacation for a week and a bit).
She wasn't a happy bunny. In fact, she was pretty honked off.
I can't say as I blame her -- she was well qualified.
In fact, the more I think about it, the more their decision doesn't make sense (for more reasons than I can go into on this blog).
*sigh* -- i just hope she doesn't quit. I'd be devastated -- she's one of the gals I'm closest to! Once Stephanne leaves on Maternity, I'll be on my own... especially if this gal leaves... :( :( :( :( :(
