Poll, since apparently nobody sleeps: An employee is clearly qualified for a core project. A connected hire takes the seat. Said employee ends up on your couch at 1 a.m. and finally says, very quietly, 'It's not fair.' What do you do? A. Reopen the staffing review B. Make her submit supplemental materials C. Remove the weak link immediately D. Make her say 'I want the seat' first D, then A. Not because process doesn't matter. Because some people keep describing what they earned as if it's an imposition.
