Striking back at management practices
My situation is that I put in for a promotion at work. I would be responsible for the department I now work in. I am highly qualified for the position having a master's degree in a closely related subject area, and I have been with the company for 3 years in an entry level position. I am pretty sure that someone else will be chosen to fill the position because the senior managers seem to like to choose outsiders from other companies. This will be the fifth supervisor since I have worked for the company.
Descriptions of the past supervisors include a 50 year-old dope-smoking lesbian with an agenda, a black male who thought he was God's gift to women, a lazy white guy who was an ex-skateboarder with no sense of responsibility, and a white guy that consistently promotes his female buddies to management regardless of their work patterns.
None of the past supervisors have a college degree. I am under the belief that the senior management wants to keep the mid-level management unqualified to move past that level. I am interested in the position so that I can show supervisory experience in the field, as well as for the increase of pay.
I feel like I want to make life a nightmare for the new hire if it is not me. I know that it will not be the fault of the new hire, but I am very disgruntled and not in the mood to make life easy for someone who is taking a position that I wanted.
I am also trying to figure out ways to make the senior management regret not choosing me. I am also willing to strike back at them if possible. I've thought about using extra supplies just to cost the company money... hitting them in the pocket book?
I know it probably sounds like sour grapes, and it may be, but I am tired of not being recognized for my abilities. High school dropouts working for this company make more money than I do.
I don't want to do anything illegal, but would appreciate ideas for helping me get a feeling of "satisfaction" or striking back at the people who seem to be keeping me down.
I also don't want my actions to be traced back to me... so I need to be sneaky.
I do not plan on staying with this company past next summer, but need the money for now.
I could go on about the conditions and all at work about practices the company does at workers expense, but I'll save that for later postings if anyone wants to know.
Thanks for reading.
