one question from the OP what make you think the one who got the promotion was the hardest at work, how do you know he didn't know the management better then the others?Don't you think the other 4 didn't work as hard as the one who got promote for the sake of the compagnie but only one of them got rewarded, like you said all of them were competant but only one got the job if he got hit by a bus the next day am pretty sure the other four would be able to do his job. The bad thing about capitalism is a lot do the job but only a few get the rewards, if a group of scientist manage to cure cancer only the guy in charge will get the nobel prize only him will get the millions only him will be remember by history, and to me that's a bunch of bullshit. That's the same with the ceo's getting millions when their subordonates are has usefull as them


 

@mafoo I asked the same question on one of the first pages and you didn't answer on that. What to do you think about this dilemma?

 

The restaurant never promoted a manager to a GM of the same restaurant. I assume even if you gave it to the right guy, the others would have some resentment. They were always transferred. Also, the chain was always opening up new locations (at the time I worked there, at a rate of one a week). The GM jobs for the new stored were filled for these with promotion as well.

I am sure some people got promoted unfairly, but if that happened, there was always a chance the restaurant would suffer. Most GM's were looking to be Regional Managers (even more money), so they had a stake in doing the right thing as well. In this system, if you work well, you will get a GM job someday.

It's not perfect, but nothing is, and I think this is far better then any real world scenario I can think of.
