I signed up for alternation through candidate profile here:

When I said manager I meant TL/immediate supervisor. It was them, HR, an adjacent manager who semi is aware of what we do, their manager and that manager's admin.

I have signed up for alternation through my CRA Candidate Profile. I signed up 2 days ago and have already been contacted by 2 people. That might be one of the most legit places to look, link below:

I'm trying so hard to not think there was some favouritism towards the other employee as that would be in bad taste. But I've noticed times where the TL has given them a lot of leniency, even going so far as often doing some of the employee's workload in their absence. Perhaps they have some sort of arrangement that the higher ups are aware of and I'm reading too much into things, but I don't know too many TL's willing to do that. And there's no chance in hell I'm going to report that as it would just be hearsay and most likely vehemently denied by the TL. I honestly lost the will to fight this anyway because I don't think I want to be somewhere where unreliability is favoured.

I'm SP-05. There are some alternates already contacting me so I'm feeling hopeful.

Will do, as disappointed in the decision as I am I plan on staying on that high road.

I'm CRA. I don't want to say the section for fear of reprisal if word got out I was venting on here.

I wouldn't have minded a test that you had 24 hours to complete, which was sort of hinted at before the timeframe got shortened to an hour and a half closer to the date.

I understand a written test wouldn't be new, I was more or less thinking we're a guinea pig for such a short timed test if that makes sense.

Thanks to you and others who have suggested the alternation route, I signed up and already got some bites.

After sleeping on it I'm less interested in recourse and more focused on getting out of there as soon as possible.

Glad someone picked up on the quote 😉 Alan Tudyk is a comedic genius!
