Scenario: You've been at company X for a few years and have done well for yourself. Your supervisor came on about 1 year after you started, but since then, you've been his #2 and righthand man. Fast forward after a few years, supervisor leaves and management asks you to step up and take on all of their duties (plus your own). You do so with no complaints or issues. Things are still running smoothly. Everyone in the company (including old supervisor) and your customers ask you if you are going to go for the now vacant position and encourage you to do so. Everyone assumes you got this locked up. Management decides to hold interviews and bring in several other candidates (some from outside of the company). You also get an interview. However management decides to hire someone else for the position and you are expected to bring them up to speed and be a team player.
Would you leave a job if you were past up for a promotion?

Totally agree with this!
You fucked up
Shouldn't have taken the responsibility without the title & compensation.
These companies have no "loyalty" to their employees. The NBA/NFL have shown that..... more down to earth / realistic look at Yellow trucking company. They emptied out the employees pension funds saying it was in the best interest of the company and not even 2 months later they declared bankruptcy and closed shop leaving said employees they robbed high an dry
Look at UPS drivers, they've been getting fucked by management for years (gotta deliver X number of packages a hour, only so many break minutes, deviations from route, ...etc) but they finally reached their breaking point. Threatened a strike and management caved......mfkrs getting paid now!
I'm all up on LinkedIn and wherever else looking for a new gig

I think in scenarios like that it's about being appreciated and feeling you were passed over for some reason other than they were the best candidate, especially that bringing in outside aka somebody in management family/friends mess. You have to decide if you want to now take a step back after you just stepped up and proved you could do the job. I think I'd start looking for another job
If you find yourself not get roles that you should be, your first step is to get honest feedback on what skills you need to develop for the role. Maybe you had the skills but during the interview you didn't articulate it well. Some roles are more so leadership based or project management skills are more so needed. The other thing is the people who matter may not be familiar with you at a high level. If possible, getting involved in more of the strategic projects from the organization to get more visibility and show your other talents.also, make sure that you wrote down your achievements and/or your yearly performance evaluation speaks to your success. Make sure that your yearly goals are inline with the company's goals at a high level and not just limited to your team/department.
From what I've seen and my own personal experience, you usually have to leave to get the role and money you want. I believe most people hit a wall in an organization and you need to leave to get to the level.
It was a time when people stayed on jobs for 10, 30 or their entire life and going from job to job was a red flag. Today, someone leaving after two to three years isn't unusual. If you are being unvalued, start looking for a new job while building yourself up internally. Take advantage of any tuition reimbursement programs they offer and start attending industry events to network.
The other thing is sometimes companies go outside because they are looking for fresh unbiased eyes. They may be looking to change directions and internal candidates may not be willing to change the current culture.

This depends of what kind of work you do. I have a friend who changes jobs every few years and typically is paid 10-15% more with each new gig
