... in a weird revenge way that is! Well or at least most satisfactory in some time... and not even planned at that

So let's go back to 2012. I am starting a work as a production operator in a medium sized corporation. It was just another day after last semester of my 1st degree right before summer. I just needed some summer work and as I was walking back from the university, I stepped to the work agency and got whatever work they had for shitty contract.
But since I failed one of my exams that year, I had to work for year more I thought. At least until I finish my 1st degree in 2013.

And so I worked as production operator, then got a company indefinite contract after only 6 months and worked as machines operator. In 2013 I finished my 1st degree and started master degree on weekend studies on same university. I then got to be logistics operator but still working on 12h shifts both day and night cycle which I did not liked too much but it was not that bad.

All this time I had some friends in the company. Especially on my shift. There is this one tech savvy guy who I got to be better friends with(he is the important part). We talked a lot and generally had a good time when we worked together. We were friends aside the company but nothing special. A the time though, the dude was one of my best friends I was always open to help him in stuff like moving apartments and stuff. no questions asked.

Then came late 2014 and I finally got an IT technician job at the same company. I got to move out of the production, on 8am-4pm shifts monday-friday. And for a better money. nothing extraordinary but I would go there even for the same cash. Finally a normal work. I even finished master degree in 2015!

And then i've noticed that this guy would not shake hands with me anymore or even say hello when I came by visit to production area. I never was the dude to think highly of myself and I behaved like I always did. I just got a bit better job (for which he did not even applied. only me). He would even look the other side.
basically - "I don't know You anymore because You got better job". Everyone else seemed happy that I could get a promotion but he despised of me.

Now, 2017 - I just got news that I got accepted on engineer position which I wanted for a long time. So my current position is for the taking! Company opened vacancy and few people are asking me what I do, should they apply and so on.
Then I got a message on smartphone. From a person I did not heard a word in over 2 years. THIS DUDE! He asks if I could recommend him and so on.

For some reason this means so much to me. I know it's pity of me but it just feels good.
I then replied politely even though I wanted with all the revenge in me to say "so we are friends again? You will shake my hand after this?".
But I didn't. I told him to go ahead and give it a try.
But I will not recommend him because it would be unfair to others.

Man... what... a.... day

Being the better man will always just make you feel like shit, because the other guy/girl really does deserve what you won't do in order to be the better man, and it will also make you appear weak.

I hate to break it to you, but if he's the most experienced guy from a pure years of service perspective you have to recommend him or else it will fall back on you for recommending somebody with less experience than him.

So think twice about not recommending him.

You cannot not recommend him because you feel like he's "less nicer" than some other guy.

Unless there are actually more experienced people, then ofc you don't recommend him, IDK. You must know that.

There are more experienced people. He is not even speaking english fluently and it's needed for this job.

Besides, I don't have to recommend anyone. In fact, if it's internal recruitment it is seen as not fair to others if I recommend someone. The job opening should be fair and winner decided by boss/hr people.

Depends what kind of person you are. It doesn't make me feel shit. I feel better and more professional.
When it comes to a job all that matters is if someone is fit for it. I doubt his lousy personality would influence that kind of job anyway.

You'll only appear weak to idiots though. Besides if we'd have to worry about not being perceived as weak... poohaa, that would be a lot of wasted time. Plenty of people will perceive us as such no matter how we behave ourselves.

So story is...

Guy got jelly because he worked there longer than you
And you got promotion so he got upset. Then you got upset.

takes it out on you as a well we ain't talking no mores cause I was hoping to get the promotion because working longer logic. I has famiglia to worry aboot. Food to buy. Rent to pay. Boy a promotion sure would make life better.

You take it as a he's a straight up asshole faggot bitch cunt slut who won't shake hands...

Like those two years ago whilst you were still here on these forearms your engrish was paltry. Just as good as his is now I bet. And somehow you got promoted...

If he were your friends... still best buds... hand shaking after stroking each others cocks... would he be qualified? Or still the answer would be no?

Look at the persons qualifications not if he likes you or not.

Ah yes the typical if he didn't try why should I help him?

Maybe then he didn't think he was qualified then and now he does. Have you talked to him about it other than a snarky remark? Who knows maybe he has some ideas that can help. What were his comments when you applied? Did he provide support? Did he say you're a dumb fuck you won't ever get it!

we don't know his story - why he didn't apply himself.
all we know is that they once were buds... then cocker got the promotion... then they no longer friends...

unless cocker stole his gf... or fucked his dead dog... or the guy tried killing cocker and killed his aunt instead... it all looks like the promotion... was the downfall of the friendship. Jealousy? Maybe. Maybe he did apply and didn't say anything (which is a scum move) and didn't get it. Maybe he didn't apply so that cocker would have a better chance of getting it... Maybe just maybe he knew someone somewhere and influenced them into hiring a pleb and in time his promotion would come, but it never did. Maybe he was looking out for cocker. We don't know. Maybe somewhere there's an unread note saying, buddy i pulled some strings for you - congrats on the promotion...

Simply something changed when the promotion happened. And his attitude towards cocker got jacked fucked.

We don't know the full story. All we know is that instead of helping a former friend whose only crime is showing respect to his superior by not signalling him out as a friend to his co-workers so he'll remain a pleb (saying hi, sir. Handshake sir. Good day sir)

If he's qualified. Seriously qualified. And not biased unqualified. I see no harm being a bigger man and helping an old friend out.

And KC doesn't appear to be opposed to this generally, except for this 'internal recruitment' thing and he really doesn't think that he is qualified.

because he doesn't shake his hand or say hello... for some reason that's a big issue here.


like i said we don't know the full story. From what I gathered the promotion is part of the reason why they are no longer friends.

One of the major issues, according to cocker, why he's not qualified is because he doesn't speak proper english. When cocker got the promotion... those years back... his english was not good as evidenced here. So... it's kind of... Laughing

but still... this to me reads of pettiness. if the guy isn't qualified... sure... I get it...
but this here reads not about whether or not he's qualified but... he stopped saying hi to me... and now i can get revenge. Ain't gonna help him.

like... this is a mans life we're talking about. A possible financial improvement. Moving away from 12 hour shifts. Getting away from the blood, sweat and tears inducing bull shit. It's like he somehow caused ill will to cocker. It's like he ran over his cat or something. I would understand if he was responsible for the death of someone near and dear to cocker to get this kind of treatment. But nope... he stopped saying hi, and stopped shaking hands... like... god forbid your gf won't open the door for you... one day she'll need your help, dire circumstances, a fridge fell on her and her skull is slowly caving in... but will you help? Nope... bitch didn't hold the door for me that one time where it really mattered to me because reasons...

Srsly. They were friends. And we don't know the full story. We know the side of "he stopped acknowledging my existence"

Yep i hate that working for a company is more smoke and mirrors than actually being skilled or doing a good job.

You have a good attitude waldo, its a shame getting ahead is more about socializing, playing golf with x y z or as I call it sucking dick than actually delivering value and quality outcomes.

That's a common problem with a lot of companies. People get promoted based on friendships rather than hard work. Being in a position to help someone out especially someone you know that will allow the company to benefit from their promotion it not only makes you look good but also you have best interest for the company.

Also if the guy just want a foot in the door... there's no harm. The rest is handled by people above your pay grade. But if he looks good in the interview so do you. If he looks bad so do you.

Socializing to get on top isn't bad. But it can damage a company. If you do it for greed and don't plan on actually putting in any effort after you made it... your job won't last long. And the higher you get... the harder you'll fall.

Be generous. Beeing vengeful of an old enemy, especially when you've already won (since you're the guy who got promoted) is really weak character. Be like songoku. You have nothing to loose only to gain.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

This is in a different catwgory.
Days like that go into best days folder. This is revenge type of stuff for guy being an asshole and ending friendahip because he was jelaous.
Day I bought apartment, got engaged and so on... Those are satisfactory too but not in this way.

@waldo - there is not much else to the story really. We were good buds and then we were not in span of a day he learned that I got the promotion. I know he did not applied. But he can now... Why not? I am not the boss or hr department. He can apply like everyone else to them. Not to me. As for recommending... I will not recommend him, because there are few people who are honesty better than him in english and IT. Hevalso does not have technical degree or university.
And yes. It is a huge deal to move from 12h prod to 8h office work. But why be envy that someone got the job...

But I still sent him a text saying to go for it if he wants and that I dont have the power to recommend peope.

I think I know why this happened (not shaking hands, angry at you etc). Cause if you are so close to each other, best friends and such it feels like: Yeah we are friends cause we are share the same thoughts and cause we are in that common work thingy, we do the same thing we are on par with each other. But when this "promotion" happens the one who didn't got the promotion asks: We did the same thing, didnt we? We shared almost everything. How come Youre the one afterall that got the promotion? You hid something from me!
I had something like this when I was a child. My best friend would come over to study and we studied each day around 30 minutes and the more day he would come over the less minutes we studied, we played the computer. And when we were at school I would get very bad grades....but him would get the best ones...it took months but eventually I found out that when he got home from me, he would study for 1-2 hours, which felt very unfair to me, almost as if he lied to me, letting me down.

Also something similar happened to me at one of my jobs. Worked together, guy knew almost nothing about computers and he got the promotion just because he was the more social one.
I did talk to him after that of course.
