My boss is not getting the promotion. They were announced yesterday. He made it clear that there is someone (shockingly that I thought would be in his corner) who doesn't want him for the job and is campaigning against him.

I think there is something really wrong with this country when a few elites can choose unqualified people because they know they will be loyal to the political cause and ignore good people because they are sane and reasonable. But that is where we stand.

I am sorry for him because he deserves the promotion but glad for me... because it avoided a headache.
