Equality

I'm kinda antsy here at the Willey Ward today. Rumblings are scattering about that a new position is being created. And when I say it's basically like the job I'm doing now... I'm not lying AT ALL. Take EXACTLY what I'm doing... add a slight dash of more responsibility... throw in a healthy pay increase... and that's the 'new' job they are creating. Here's why I'm antsy....

Everyone here KNOWS I'm overqualified for the job I'm currently occupying. In fact, when the VP hired me, he even told me that and also said that he wanted to advance me quickly because of my potential. All good things, I know. BUT... ya see... the Willey Ward plays corporate politics with the best of them. For example, whenever a "good" job is posted... we all pretty much KNOW they already have someone in mind that they are hiring and are only posting the job out of 'protocol'. So..... knowing the Willey Ward way... if I were even in their thoughts for this new job, I would think they would have already approached me with it... seeing as how it's freakin' IDENTICAL to what I'm doing now. But they haven't. And the only reason I know what I know about it is because I'm extremly observant and once I see things... I become Magnum P.I. until I find out what the hell is going on. So basically, I'm worried that they are going to post my job, hire someone to do it, pay them more, and I'm left to remain as a pee-on like I am now.

But nothing has really happened yet... so I guess I shouldn't panic. But I just hate getting screwed over when I deserve things. Sounds a bit braggodocious, I know. But I'd admit if I sucked at what I do. And I wouldn't care if I didn't get something I wasn't qualified for. But this isn't the case here.

Oh well. Such is my life....
