He had so many write-ups, closed-door chats, counsellings, etc, that he'd thought that it would be impossible. When he asked his superior how it came to pass that he got the promotion over several other candidates, he was told with a chuckle that his name could not be forgotten, because it certainly had come up before. If a name kept coming up, it must be due to promote the man. <BR/><BR/>I question the logic, but don't doubt the veracity, of this story.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-73482538335863342872009-03-23T13:05:00.000-04:002009-03-23T13:05:00.000-04:00There is that.
