Getting passed over.

There are multiple ways to look at it.

1) Getting passed over means someone is better than me though I have been working super hard and putting in the extra effort, leading by example. It won't look good on my resume either.

2) Getting spared all the responsibilities and duties that come with Leadership, giving me time and space to do stuff that I love and have full off days. I can even take up an instrument!

3) It reveals areas that I need to work on before I can be considered for leadership. I need to talk about this with someone.

Thing is, I have been taking on more responsibilities than others, such as being forwarded and answering email queries by VJ, rostering people faithfully for the past 1 year+, performing backend maintenance of the showroom...

But the potential TL will take over the current TL's role. It feels like skipping a level to me. Seriously man??

People can really get around with good looks and flamboyant, talkative personalities. He's done it at his previous companies. Granted he's been doing more stuff at his own initiative but these are one-off things, not stuff requiring consistency and faithfulness.

Some things that he said he will do but did not:
1) repairing my souvenir magnet that he broke with glue.
2) calling the lightbulb repairman to fix a vey important lightbulb but he did not, even after a week.
3) reporting to time-off IC when he takes time off. (I had to help him report it on several occasions, what is he trying to do?)
4) he has to be followed up on in returning borrowed items.
5) only replying text from people he feels are important to him (superiors).
6) creating a service-call file. He's been wanting to do it since december. When?
7) And other stuff.

I might argue otherwise, but if they see him as a good fit, HaShem is good, and whatever he sends us is good. Even this, is good, though I may not see it now, only in hindsight will I appreciate its true value.
