I know, I know. This thread might get deleted. But, for what it's worth, we might keep it around for a few days just to vent a bit and hopefully also laugh. You don't need to give any specific details, of course.
I'll start by saying that I'm furious at the moment, because someone else got the promotion that I should have gotten. Why, you ask? Well, my Curriculum Vitae is just better. But since I'm not in the habit of ass-kissing, I wasn't the one selected.
I understand that stuff like this happens in every job. And I would say that in most jobs there's probably some sort of justification for it. But I work in Academia, for fuck's sake, we're supposed to be objective. My CV is objectively better in this case. I have more publications, more presentations at congresses, symposiums, etc., and more experience as a teacher. I just find it disgusting that the subjective traits of the people involve end up being more important than CVs in the context of so-called "higher learning".
Phew. I had to get that off my chest.
What about you? Has anything bothered you at work lately?
