Passed Over for Managers Good Friendin
I was told today that the sideways move I interviewed for was given to the interviewers good friend. I was told that I would be part of the team for 1 1/2 hours at the end of the day. In the meeting as a group, the lead (who's friend was given the job I interviewed for) asked me to turn over my entire written library I authored the last year to the new team (that I was passed over) because my "talent was communication". I'm shocked. I contributed in good faith but I'm not sure what to do. Basically, it would be like me teaching the person who got the job how to speak like me in any situation with our customer. Please, anyone tell me how to handle this with diplomacy. I am so confused. Any feedback would be so appreciated.
