[quote=Anonymous]So I took a federal job at GS-12 back in 2010 when the job market was bad and it was my only prospect.  With 15 years experience in the private sector at that point, I was overqualified but being underpaid is better than no pay.

Thanks to budget issues  and sequestration, it's been easy to accept my manager's mantra that there is no money for promotions.  He said it to me just last week in my mid-year performance review.  This week while I'm out on vacation, a coworker emailed to inform me that there are two job postings for GS-13, open only to people within my office and only for one week.  Based on the job description there are only three people, including me, who qualify.  The other two each have about 10 fewer years' experience than me, but it's pretty clear they're getting promoted.  My coworker friend sent me a link to the job posting, but I can't find it through USA Jobs search function.

The timing--while I'm out on vacation--makes it obvious that I'm not meant to know about it.  But I'm submitting my resume just to see what will happen.

Besides the undeniable evidence that I should be looking elsewhere for employment, what recourse do I have?  [/quote]
