Update #1

My sister Kim's job situation:  Her boss has decided not to pick a lead person right now.  Instead, he is planning on giving both Kim and Cathy "projects" and will use the results he gleans from them as a determining factor in who he picks for a lead person.  So now it has become a true, bona fide CONTEST! 

He also decided that he'd hire another technician now, so he is having Kim and Cathy interview the applicants.  Neither one has ever interviewed before and has had no training in interviewing.  Luckily I have, so I gave Kim a quickie course and shot her off two pages of interview questions via fax.  So far they have interviewed two candidates this week with another scheduled for today.

Although Kim has worked there for 8 years, it goes without saying that she is now actively looking for another job.  She won't have any trouble.  Given the line of business that she is in and her education, she can afford to be a bit picky.  She has already started networking with others outside of her company and has at least three excellent leads.  I'll keep you up to date on what happens.

I can't believe the boss has made this into a contest.  It's not professional.  What kind of morale is that going to have on the office?

Sounds like your sis is keeping her options open.  Good luck to her.  -=)
