Mainly from coworkers who've been there a while and think they should get something (usually promotion) handed to them. Even though the effort they've been putting forth on the job for the last year is 'just enough' that they haven't been fired. And when other people with less seniority but more and better work get promoted over them, they go bitter and blame everyone but themselves.<br /> Not to say my place of employment is or has been perfect, but it is pretty strict about performance beating out seniority or a shiny degree. This will be the second time I've been promoted over the heads of people with twice the years here. The first time, it was like being in college - even though the boss stated only top performers would get it, people were pissed when at the end of three months the relative newbie had stomped everyone and I got tapped for promotion.<br />We have a far better system now then at that point. But its still amusing to observe.Amaranoreply@blogger.com
