Bleh, I got one too this morning. After they had me submit two homework assignments to them. Free practice I guess. I had what felt like to me, a pretty good technical phone screen on Friday, see if he gets back to me this week.

Our bizarre promotion process has the following features 1) I apply for promotion with a self eval and peer feedback 2) A committee decides on it 3) They give that decision to my manager, who can choose whether or not to appeal it 4) Two weeks pass while my manager is not allowed to tell me what the current status is 5) Once possible appeals are done then I hear the final news This basically forces us into this awkward situation where I have to communicate that, should I happen to need an appeal, here are some things that I think happen to support my case that weren't in my initial self assessment, but maybe I don't need an appeal...
