Overlooked for Promotion two times

[Zigner]

So are you saying that the others who have been promoted are part of that or are you assuming that pertains to me?

To answer your questions in regards to why I think I'm being overlooked is because not a known fact but I feel like, a female by the way, being a member in the Guard may be playing a part. Being a member of the same organization that I audit, intenally may be what he is using since there are only two of us left out of eight auditors that are Guard members and have been for over 28 years. I also feel that the whole situation with the new purely civilian employees is a stereotypical situation that happens in the workplace, in that leadership forgets that the people who were there already were actually doing a great job and I can prove that. I have substantiating documents for most of what I say and feel.

Being in the Guard isn't a protected class, so even if it's discrimination, it's not illegal discrimination.

As an aside, often leadership likes to bring in "new blood." Sometimes long-time employees get stagnate and stuck in the rut of doing things "because that's how it's done"; bringing in outsiders can bring a new perspective.
