[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applied for an internal position. Job went to an outsider. Outsider was fired in less than a year. Applied for position again. Job went to an outsider. Outsider was fired within three months. Eff these people. [/quote]

I see this a lot in my organization.  The people doing the hiring have decided you are not right for promotion -- for whatever reason, rightly or wrongly.  You need to go elsewhere to get a fresh start.

We recently hired from outside.  The outsider is not great and I'm honestly not sure he'll last, but all of the internal candidates have been considered and either rejected or they turned it down.  If this guy fails, his replacement will be from outside too.[/quote]

I saw this at my last job. A highly coveted upper management job opened and there was a clear, winning internal candidate who was the most qualified of all. Well, a staffer from another division also applied for the job-- and much younger than the most qualified candidate-- and he landed the job. The older staffer apparently was rejected on a very excusable technicality. As a result, there was a lot of bad blood. Even worse, the younger candidate has no idea what he's doing. Someone wanted him in there come hell or high water. It's now a s&itshow.
