The organisation chart has been announced. Everyone is to apply next week. Summary from discussion with one's supervisor on one's possible options: - this supervisor's job has been posted too - he kept saying this manager box belongs to this team lead, this one is to another team lead, they are more senior(!!!) than you are etc. Another manager asked to meet one in his office - this is a GOM expat and is moving back to the 'home country' - asking one which job one will apply. After he knew one's choice, he kept saying what else will you apply. Which one. Which one. This is a close door. Secret between us. Khun S and I didn't make decision not to promote you few years ago. It was another person. Oh that was so bad. If it was me, I would push to promote you.
End of the dream - wake up sweaty middle of the night!
