‘Why are you supporting my colleague to implement something that will take away my influence and favour him? This is a power grab’

I was like ‘I’m not sure I under stand what you mean?’

And he said ‘Don’t lie, you know exactly what I’m talking about’ and he walked out.

I was more junior then and basically ran back to our project office, found the MD, and was like ‘we have a big problem…and I did not help’

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
