Recently I applied for a better role within my company. I have been serving for them for many years now and have worked my way up through hard work, determination and a exceptional attendance. When applying for the job I was very confident in myself that I would land it, but to my astonishment I was snubbed of this position. It went to a much younger member of the team who to my records has not been with the business that long.?



When hearing who had got the job I went for a little chat with my manager. He updated me that they had made there choice and were very happy with it. He also told me that I was not the best man for this job but if anything else came up that I should apply for it..

It was then he dismissed me out of his office. There was definitely something peculiar going on. How had an employee with somewhat no experience get a job over an employee who has been with the company for many years.

I purchased a piece of equipment called a spy phone. I just had to know what was going, there had to be a explanation she had got the job over me. I would hide the spy phone within my boss's office and see what happens. So one evening I snuck into my boss's office and planted the spy phone. I just had to get some answers.

The very next day I got my answer. She went in to a meeting with my manager to talk about her new job. The talk turned out to be mostly about me. ?He is totally hopeless. He never gives me any help and slows everything down. Plus, you know he messed up the annual figures, don't you?? Me? It was her who had taken over the responsibility for the report, refused any support from me and ruined the whole thing. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! The disloyal little madam. She came out of the office, meeting my icy glare with a fake smile. I would have to catch her out, now I knew what she was up to. I got my opening the very next day..

?I brought you some coffee,? she smiled, placing a hot mug on my desk, ?and I was wondering if you could help me with something.? An idea forming in my mind, ?Absolutely,? I replied, what do you need?? She gave me some work she had to do for the chairman of the company but had completely no idea how to do it. It was simple. So I did the work for her and she was very grateful. Little did she know that I had done to her work what she had done to my chances of promotion. I had made twenty mistakes on the chairman's work and it was all hers! The chairman was not going to be impressed with her efforts. Maybe that role would be mine after all..
