Sometimes there is a compliance issue where companies have to post the job for external candidates. Now why companies decide to ignore employees already there doing the work, no idea.
The compliance excuse feels like a cover sometimes—especially when internal candidates get overlooked without a proper conversation.
I trained someone promoted over me for a job I had already been doing successfully for 2 years. The truth is, it has nothing to do with the person who deserves the job and everything to do with the person who hires. Some people want to make their own team by hiring externally. It's an ego thing.
That hits hard. It’s so demoralising when effort and loyalty don’t matter. I’ve seen it play out the same way—someone higher up just wants to “put their stamp” on the team.
Not people... often women. I was once told I couldn't have a higher level position because I'd never had the title before. Like, yes, that's why it's called a promotion.

I’ve heard that comment before and you’ve said it all there….. honestly it’s such a shame that is the case a lot of the time, as promotion and hard work can go a long way if we are given the chance to prove it.

Work recognition is some important and I hear it loads from other companies not recognising their staffs hard work until it may be a little too late, or just completely ignore it and advertise for it….. baffles me!
I have seen that happen too. It is wild when companies ignore loyal staff, then post the same role like no one was already doing the work. Recognition should not come only when someone quits.
