This happened to me all the time. If you don’t do it, they will fire you and not your boss. Be warned. It’s the way the corporate politics roll.

If it is indeed true that you will lose your job. If you don’t do this, then, of course you have to do it. Because… Capitalism. That said, after you deliver this to the EVP, might this be an opportunity to have a conversation about your skill set and how you might be a better fit at a different level within the company?seems like they know that you’re the person doing the work. Just a thought. Good luck!

Exactly. I was an executive at my previous company but networked my way into a cool field at a global tech corporation but was hired in six levels below what I should have been. Needless to say, it was NOT. A fit. Also the managers that hired me were idiots to think that it would.

I applied to six schools (HSW, Sloan, Kellogg, Booth) in R1.

I didn’t apply to Haas in R1 and due some personal situations, now prefer it over some of the other schools I applied to because I wouldn’t need to relocate from the Bay Area.

If I get into a school in R1, how long do I have to decide? anyone ever give up an R1 spot they got in to to go to another school admitted in R2?

In the new year we are looking to hire someone to be the first true HR person. I have a background in HR but have always specialized in recruiting.
My question is, do I position myself to take the HR role and backfill my recruiter role?

What do you do to handle it especially at work?
