I work in higher ed. Upon the last big promotion cycle, I was passed over for a Director position. This position was instead given to a less tenured person with only a high school education. No certs, just the best friend of the boss. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here with three degrees, enrolled in a PhD program at the higher ed institution I work at. 🧐 Higher education not valuing the higher education of their employees. Doomed.
Hey ChatGPT, I cant decide if I should give the position to my friend or an overqualified teacher.
"Sure I can help with that. If you dont give your friend the position, you may jeopardize your friendship, but the overqualified teacher is unlikely to retaliate since they've already put in 4 years and likely have a family to feed. Still, it makes more sense to give it to the teacher."
But my friend is cool.
"Oh right, I didnt consider that. You should definitely give it to your friend then."
