text: what if someone that use to do your job gets a promotion and does not want to help you out once in a while? i work in a school and a person that use to work there with me now got a teachers aide job. i asked her to help me out with something small the other day and she could have but her response was i don't work in the kitchen anymore i got promoted. well i felt hurt and felt like i just got thrown in the dirt. i said to her well excuese me! should i talk to her anymore now that she is acting like a big shot? john said it all, you have to get over it, move on or move up.  have some self respect for yourself too. just feeling bad and trying to find a reason for others not being the same with you is not the correct line of questioning.   you need to see where you are headed, how many more of such incidents before you get going.
