Coach
Be gracious but suspicious until you can determine the lay of the new land. I would also have a hard time getting over this.
Coach
I would be offended, too. Why were you not considered for the role?
Coach
Ah, thanks for the additional info. In that case, it does make sense that they wouldn’t involve you in the hiring process for someone more senior than you. I’m sure there are ways to make that work, but most companies don’t consider it best practice.
A better process would have been to include you, even if it was more of a "meet and greet" vs. interview. It know it's hard, but you should try to pivot to building a relationship with the new leader, understanding why you weren't considered (unless you were, in which case NOT having you meet them makes total sense), and move forward in a positive direction.
I think it’s typical that executives don’t include direct reports in the interview for a new leader. I’ve never been included - but they usually will ask me to meet with the new person before they start or within their first week.
