Rather funny...or not. Depends on your point of view.

Today was to be the day when two new hires were suppose to report to work...one did.  One reported long enough to tell our manager that he had accepted another position with a different company for twice his base salary at our store.  He accepted that position...This morning!  I say it's funny depending on your position because the regional manager asked me and a co-worker to submit a job interest form for the Assistant Manager position.  Then they never even interviewed either one of.  Instead they hired an outside candidate for the position...someone who reported the first day, only to resign immediately.  Do you think an internal candidate would have done that, no they wouldn't, but...you know, depends on your point of view.
