--- Quote from: Castlerook on 27 Aug 2018, 10:46 ---Unless Claire is thinking that she's entitled to a librarian position.
At which point, I wonder if Claire realises exactly how much of her work would be dealing with books and how much would be dealing with people, faculty, students, meetings and researchers and so on. As Claire has proven on a couple of occasions, she's not exactly good with people, in which case Claire might be in for a rude awakening.

This is on point. Marten may not have had the direct qualifications but passing the interview is a lot more than thst. Claire needs to learn this. Using the privilege argument is bogus
--- End quote ---
Uhuh. Sooooh - In your experience: What could I expect to be asked if I were to interview for a position as a librarian?

Having a degree or dip in that field or similar may have put him in the running. Leadership and organisational skills. Does he match what they are looking for at the moment.
This is why you never date your trainees.

You did? Like seriously? :-o
Are you feeling alright? How many fingers am I holding up?

--- Quote from: cybersmurf on 28 Aug 2018, 07:51 ---Personally, I've got the feeling Claire is overreacting a bit, but that's on par with her current stats of mind.
Marten didn't have a friend in the building at the time, he just reacted to a job posting in a newspaper, and found the iambic pentameter, that's about all he did. Of course Claire is a bit, well probably both jealous and annoyed, to a good extent rightly so. I would consider it funny if Tai quit for whatever reason and Claire got her position.
Also, I wouldn't call Marten getting that job "privilege", it's just sheer luck. And given Claire being Trans everything probably feels like an uphill battle, even if it didn't have to be, and that adds to the whole situation. Fighting all those battles probably brought her to a better position than taking the easy route, but you're allowed a breather every now and then.

Even though she has the qualifications on paper, I would not recommend her to replace tai. She is ill suited for management role. I know her life has been rough, but when you are a manager you have to be fair, regardless of your battles.

I never said it was a good idea. Might still work out since Marten probably would stand up to her and correct her ways. But that's something we'll probably never see anyway. Maybe she'll take a position in a NY theater library and run into Angus regularly. that's something I consider as probable as my previous idea.
