Job issue

As some of you may, or may not, know, I was given redundancy notice at the start of this month, since my job is no longer effectively in existence, the requirement of an admin assistant being very little since a lot of administration is done by the various departments (so I’m told)….

However, one of the admin monkeys in here (who I work with) has just been recently temporarily promoted, with every likelihood that he’ll get the job eventually.

Now, instead of moving me into his position, or even offering me an interview for it, they’ve brought in a temp!! A temp!! I ask you! What the hell is the point in that??

One or two of my colleagues reckon I should formally complain about the way I’ve been treated, since it was very unfair that the post wasn’t even advertised in the office (which I agree with), not to mention the fact that, had the other monkey been taken on permanently, I could have been in a better position than I am now!

Now I’m wondering whether to go to the union about this, and while I may not get anything out of it, it might bring a bit of satisfaction my way by having the Human Resources Dept. brought down a peg or two.

If you were in my position, what would you do?
