Where I work there was two 1st/2nd line guys and one third line guy that comes in twice a week. Then we had a very technical and experienced, account manager or lead technical guy. Well the lead technical guy left and the guy who was doing the third line job, got his job.
Now I was not impressed with the third line guy when he was doing the third line job because he had a very complacent attitude and would always take the "do as little as possible" approach and the "if it is not broken don't fix it". Which mean he did not apply any updates to any servers and was not proactive with anything technical.
Well as you would have guessed the other 1st/2nd line guy got the third line job. Now I am a bit annoyed by this as, although he was there first, i am more knowledgeable about servers etc. Not that I wanted the job, as i would probably have ended up doing the 1st-3rd line work anyway. Because at the moment i do 1st-3rd line.
But the thing is we have a lot of projects coming up and what i am more annoyed about is that now the new lead technical guy is not asking for my input, where the previous guy, at least pretended to listen 1st/2nd line input and would at least get us more involved on the project.
Has anyone else had similar situations like this, with people you work with getting promotions and one, not being up to the job, two, you actually being more knowledgeable than them?
Now this new third line guy is asking me questions, when before I would have helped him and i have taught him quite a bit. But now i don't want to teach him and kind of ****ed off about being "shunned" out of the project work.
Am i just being a moaning git about this ?
