a few weeks ago a lady at my job got a promotion i thought i was going to get . oh no ! i am so sorry . that is really tough . it was really a tough one to swallow . did you get any feedback on what you could do to improve your chances next time ? nope . i think it was just favoritism to be honest . ah , that happens . again , very sorry . maybe you can find the silver lining in it . or , find a new job and get a fresh start somewhere else .
Perceived unfair favoritism towards someone else.
