What if your boss and supervisor had told you that you were going to be promoted but hired somebody else?

Well, descrimination is slightly different than being passed over for a promotion. Obviously you feel you performance warranted a promotion, so was there anything that you can identify as descriminatory. For example, are you some kind of minority: Woman, Hispanic, African American? It's very difficult to establish discrimination if you're a white male. \n\nFirst, I would advise that you find out how you've done on your recent performance reviews, many employers are obligated to tell you. Second, I would try to find other people within the company that feel the same way you do. Even if you can't find others, if you find that you've been doing well, with no reason for being passed over, then you can either file a complaint with the company's headquarter's  or simply threaten a lawsuit.

Take them out to dinner or lunch on your new "bosses salary" and be honest and straigt forward.\n""Luke", I have come to value your friendship and man, have we had some good times together! I would like for that to continue and wanted to get your feelings on my promotion. (Actively listen to that person.) Let them know that of course their will be some chamges with how you two must interact on the job but you will treat them with the utmost respect and hopefully (as the boss) you will earn theirs in return. As their friend you know how valuable they are to the company because you've seen how hard they work, now as the boss, you can make sure that as their hard work continues, you will make sure they get the recognition they deserve.

I would start looking for a new job. If there are bosses over her head I would start complaining to them about it also.

Oh you are so screwed.  You just put in a 6 week notice at your current job.  Your boss is going to either look for your replacement, or look to get rid of your position and you agreed to stay and let her do that to you.\n\nI know you think your boss is your friend and that she would never do this to you.  But her duty is to the company and she is doing what is best for her company.\n\nRarely, and I emphasize rarely, do counter offers ever work out well for the employee that stays.   By looking for, and finding, another job you let your current boss know that you are going to leave eventually, and you are not dedicated to the company.   Workers that are looked at in those ways never get raises or promotions and end up very unhappy and unemployed.\n\nGood luck to you, you're going to need it.

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and stick with it.  In the meantime, you could try to determine where you want to go next, and work towards that.  Don't let your current boss know that you might be looking for another job, though.

no thats a good idea in my opinion becuase if this other person doesnt fulfill his duty in the job they may look for a replacement and if you met their standards for the job in the first place, they might call you back

I did. My boss came in one day and asked why I always looked like I was in a bad mood(he said it with an attitude) so I said: You'd be in a bad mood too if you worked for an As*hole like you. He looked at me, shocked and then said , you know I should fire you for that...I replied: Fire me then.....We stood there glaring at each other for a moment then he said....go back to work.. and that was the end of it. I guess you have to know how far you can push the envelope with your boss.

I would just wait.  For one your current employer can't fire you because you're looking for new employment.\n\nPersonally, if I were the one doing the hiring, I wouldn't devulge any information about when you would be working.  I would tell them that they need to speak with you.

who hired you?  They should be fired.\nOR ASK SOMEONE WHO IS MAKING THEIR GOAL.

They may have hired someone else already or the person required to make that decision could be out .\nIts time to call to see whats up.

Ask your boss "So, when should I start with my training".  \n\nIF your boss has no plans for you at all, It will put him/her on the defensive.  Most people who get a promotion express an interest in more responsibility.  If you haven't expressed any interest, then he may not even think of you.  \n\nIF your boss actually though of you as a candidate, then you may just get it.

Go to your Human recorses manager and fill for a grivence report on your boss. This could get him sacked and you a better job satisfaction.
