[quote=Anonymous]Today at work it was announced who'd essentially be promoted to manager.  Two internal candidates (A and B) applied.  Both are well liked by the people they work with.  Candidate A has more years of experience on the job than candidate B. They both have the same exact job though. Candidate A also has published twice since being hired while candidate B has zero.

It was announced today that B got the job.  Now everyone cannot understand why.  Then only difference is that the posted job was for management over a group B works in. A does not work in that group.  Obviously A cannot control who they work with.

What is the point then of interviewing for the job then if management above seemed to already have made up their minds that they'd hire based on experience within the group rather than accomplishments?  People from the outside cannot control the latter.

I'm now convinced that when it comes to promotions accomplishments never matter. In the end it always comes down to favoritism outside the control of whomever is applying. [/quote]
