[QUOTE="luceeloo, post: 1252772, member: 78468"] You've hit every nail upon every head there. I'm not going to become like him - every time that there has been an issue this last week or so, I've had to grit my teeth, smile and just get on with it. I'm aware that being female in the engineering industry is not the same as being male in that industry. It can very much still be a boys club, and it's difficult for us women to progress on the same path. The one thing that I keep focusing on is that if he did get the job, he is so under-experienced and under-qualified for it, that he couldn't actually do it. He's talked the talk with the big boys, he's got himself on their radar, but when it comes to the crunch he doesn't know enough about his own job yet to progress further... so if the worst came to the worst, I could just sit back, get the popcorn out and watch what would inevitably be a really interesting show. I have since heard some interesting little titbit that the department manager (who makes the final decision) has openly questioned what this snake's purpose is, what he does during a day's work because his key perfomance indicators are showing that there's not a lot going on . This was from someone who knows nothing about the current situation, and with whom I haven't mentioned a word about what's going on. So hopefully, there's a bit of doubt there! Either way, I've had the weekend to cool off and I'm going back to work tomorrow with my best foot forward ... and all that. If I don't get the job fairly, then maybe it's a sign that it's time to move in another direction. [/QUOTE]
