Too good

By hard work doesn't work - 13/03/2015 06:21 - United States - Irving

Today, I found out that the reason I didn't get the job that I have been working my butt off for over a year for is because they can't find anybody who can do my current job as good as me. I'm too good to be promoted. FML

Can't you offer to train the chosen candidate for a number of weeks?

There's no reason you can't be promoted while continuing to do some aspects of your present job. The rest of your current workload could be split among other staff members until a new employee can be brought on board.

Sounds like it's time to see about taking your skills elsewhere.

Well, look at it this way, they think you're irreplaceable. In a way it's a compliment. No one can do what you do. But maybe you could offer to train someone to take your place so you could move up?

if you threatened to quit you could probably get a raise or something

The "or something" would be to tell OP to take a hike and to not let the door hit them on their way out.

That's a lame excuse really. . you have so much potential but if they can't see it through then find a job with scope for promotion
