From his current position he's already buddies with equipment team and those guys made it clear to him that they wanted him. He felt that he all but had the job in the bag.
... Typical city bullshit, they keep the posting open for two months, go through rounds of interviews even with only a couple candidates... aaaaand they gave it to a part timer at the city, with less time working there, and ZERO heavy equipment experience. No explanation given to him... but she has boobs. :|
I'm not usually cynical, but I'm so disappointed for him and disgusted by the process they put him through, only to fuck him over.
