Dear Queenie,
When there was a better job to be filled in the office where I work I applied for it. They accepted my application and even gave me some special training for the new job. Then when I came back to the office after the training I was introduced to a new employee who had been hired for the job I had applied and trained for.
I was so upset I almost broke into tears, so I ran out of the building before I started to cry. In the parking lot my supervisor came out and saw me crying.
Queenie, I’m so embarrassed! How do I talk to my supervisor after him seeing me like this?—Passed over
Dear Passed over,
You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Your reaction was quite natural.
However, your supervisor has some explaining to do, about why you were passed over for the job after they accepted your application and even gave you special training for it.
