While we wait, I'll tell y'all a story of a controller at my current facility. We'll call him Todd.
Todd was competing on an actual bid with another controller at our facility. Todd wasn't the most likeable controller. Todd was a fine controller, but widely known as an asshole.
With little shock, the other controller was selected for the position. Todd was so mad, he sent an email to the ATM of the gaining facility demanding to know why he was selected and wanted to know "what they were thinking" (quote from Todd's email).
Todd did not receive a response to his email. Todd snooped around, and found the personal cell phone number to the ATM. He then proceeded to call the ATM. The ATM answered, and said he would love to talk to Todd about it and that he would go over it with him when he got back to the facility on Monday. He excitedly told Todd to give him a call back on his office number. They hung up, and Todd just knew he would get to the bottom of this.
The weekend goes by, and Todd gets to the facility that Monday happy, and ready to give the ATM a piece of his mind. Todd calls the ATMs office number and the secretary answers.
"Hello, this is Todd, I was told by the ATM to call today to discuss why I wasn't selected."
"Uh, sorry sir there must be done mistake.'
"Mistake? No mistake, I was told to call."
"Sir, Friday was the ATMs last day at work. He retired."
Todd hangs up the phone. Deflated and defeated.
The end. 100% true story, by a boss ATM.
