Employee Mr. X resigned and kept a lien. Later on, he rejoined the organization at the same position. Meanwhile, Junior Mr. Y received a non-functional promotion to a higher post than the one at which Mr. X resigned/joined. There is a policy in the company that there will be a combined vacancy for both functional and non-functional posts. So, now the question arises as to who will be considered senior for the next vacancy-based promotion.

Hi, Mr. X rejoined in the same position: After how many days, months, or years? Mr. X resigned and rejoined, while Mr. Y continued with the same organization. Due to seniority and loyalty, Mr. Y was promoted. Since Mr. X resigned and rejoined, he does not have the right to question or comment on Mr. Y's promotion. However, for future promotions, factors such as performance, maturity level, and relevant skill sets for the role should be considered in addition to seniority. Although seniority holds value, ultimately, performance determines promotions in the private sector.
