re: #134 Snarknado!

I’ve been on the other side of this, and it’s hard. The problem is even if we have an internal candidate, we have no choice but to list the position, then “objectively” consider the candidate. Objectively considered, how likely is it that someone who applied off the street will be hired over someone who’s been doing the job well for six months (or a year)? How many people’s time are we wasting with this crap?

Yet, we have no choice.

It’s sort of the pendulum swinging too far the other way - but without some of these checks you got the cronyism and such where some manager or VP’s second cousin suddenly turned up when there was an opening.
