Worked for a company  for many years as a supervisor and wanted to apply for a open managers job.  I was told that I could not be a manager in the same station that I worked. At the same time the position was open and then closed five different times. Over the past years I had meet many people throught out  the U.S. I was beyond shocked to find that the company had placed many supervisors into managers positions in their own stations. The company then told me that this was a policy but they have nothing in any of their handbooks that stops a person from doing so.  I was told that it would not happen, not to even apply. I did the right thing and called the hr manager.  I was told that that person was no longer the hr manager and that someone in the training dept was taking over. After a few months of trying to get that person to call me back I found out that the company had hired a new hr manager again I called the V P of human rescources and got no call back. I worked my tail off and wanted the chance to apply for a job to better myself and my partner. I would have been the only gay station manager in the company and a great one!!!!!!
