ok so here's the deal....
Tony(my manager) handed in his notice at work today....and recommended to the Regional manager (Colin) that I get the job.
Sounds pretty straight forward and "YAY me" huh?
The main problem hee is the assistant manger. IF I got Tony's job I wold effectively be jumping right over her head. This in itself is not a problem.....I don't like her anyway 
but...... she is assuming that she will get offered the position straight away unfortunately for her I know that Colin will NEVER give her the manager's job as her attitude sucks big time.
So I know if the choice is between me ad her, the job is mine. and to be perffectly honest, the compay ?I work for prefer to promote from within so I have an immediate advantage over outside applicants too.
BUT......I don't know if I'm ready to jump 2 places up the ladder and be in charge of the store just yet.
I also have a realy good friend who is the manager of our biggest rival in town.and is in fact my ex boss. She desperately wants out of her present job and I KNOW she'd be great at running our store plus I know she'd get on with all the staff and be well liked and respected.
Do I tip her off that the vacancy is there or not? If I'm up against her for the job I think she'd get it......however I like her and liked working for her before so that's not a problem for me. Also I know that Simone is so petty and spiteful that she'll huff and leave over not being offered the managers job herself...and I've already been told that I am gauranteed her job should she leave.
So.......
Do I tip my ex boss off about the job, meaning that I (possibly) don't get it myself? and hope that Simone walks so I get her position?
or.....
Do I not tell her go for the job myself, risk not getting it and landing up with a manger I neither know or like and still hope that Simone walks?
aaaaaaaaargh tis a dilemma
